The Apple Watch Ultra is the newest sports watch to the game, and could become the most impressive of all options available. The new version caters exclusively to athletes. The 49mm titanium display ensures it can handle varied terrains, while providing you the durability you need on your outdoor excursions. 

It also contains the longest lasting battery of all Apple watches, running up to 36 hours on a single charge. And, if you run it in low-power mode, you can extend the operating life to 60 hours.

Moreover, the display is robust–being two times brighter than any other Apple Watch display. It features a programmable action button. It allows you to choose quick access to many apps, like Workouts, Backtracks, and much more.

You also receive your choice of bands. Runners will enjoy the thinnest of the group–the Trail Loop Band. There's also an Ocean Band, designed for recreational diving and water sports. 

Tying it all together is the watchOS 9. It comes with advanced metrics for stride length, ground contact time, and running power. Overall, it's Apple's most complete offering for athletes, allowing swimmers, divers, runners, mountain climbers, and more access to Apple's most robust tools. 

The Apple Watch Ultra retails for $799 and is available on September 23.
