Ridiculous prices for one of the bestial smartwatches you will see… And its accessories too!
It was already expected, so there was no surprise at the end, except in the trade name with which the new iPhone 14 and the Apple Watch Series 8 were placed together a more beastly model called the Apple Watch Ultraand without a doubt In every way, Apple has done more than ever.
And the intention of the Cupertino giant is to compete with the best watches and the best brands in the business the end, with Suunto and Garmin as references and with an impressive huge excellent design, with a box no less 49 mm built in titanium and Ion-X glass OLED display with LTPO technology and protected by a sapphire crystal MIL-STD-810H certified.
In any case, and although it is so Apple announces the enormous resilience of this smartwatch literally saying it is “very hard box”we’ll have to verify it empirically after seeing that Samsung has also announced this with the titanium and sapphire glass construction of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, which according to the negative experiences of various users Dents, scratches and marks easier than expected.
Anyway, we’re here to talk about Apple’s book, and in absolute numbers The Apple Watch Ultra is probably the most bestial smartwatch in the entire industrydesigned with everything you cánido put ua expendable in a package of obvious quality and with a list of the main technical characteristics:

Excellent “spec sheet” for this massive Apple Watch Ultra.
See such an ad We would all expect a high pricebut Samsung’s best performance option, with afín features except for the dive features, it costs just 519 euros over Apple’s exorbitant 999 euros for this superlative Watch Ultra that actually, and as you cánido see, surpasses itself in every way.
That remains obvious The market is evaluating whether this Apple Watch Ultra is worth its priceand above all, the success or failure of the model in terms of sales remains to be seen, although certainly when it opens we are afraid The dangerous ban on 1,000 euro smartwatches Soon on Android, or rather on Wear Les, we will see afín exaggerations that will equipo these outfit unattainable for most.
We’re not quite sure how to justify the 999 euros that the Apple Watch Ultra costs, since the highest model, the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro (also made of titanium and with a sapphire glass) costs almost half that.
Three exclusive straps, also at really ridiculous prices
Anyway, don’t go yet because Hard-to-justify prices don’t stop there about Apple’s ultimate smartwatch, the It cánido be reserved with any of the three new straps and in all colors and finishes for €999. always, no matter which band you have chosen.
In fact it is in Cupertino they designed three exclusive straps for the Apple Watch Ultra, each designed with a specific purpose and focuses on one type of usuario very specific:
- Cross ‘Alpine loop’
- For outdoor adventures. Comfortable and very resistant. G hook for a secure fit.
- Cross Flatly
- For endurance sports. Lightweight and stretchy, our thinnest bracelet. With a convenient tab to adjust it on the fly.
- Cross ‘Ocean’
- For extreme water sports and recreational diving. Maleable, it stretches to be worn over neoprene. Tubular design with titanium buckle and adjustable hook for secure closure.
The new straps “Loop Alpine”, “Loop Trail” and “Ocean” for the Apple Watch Ultra.
The first two straps consist of a stretch fabric and they cánido be bought in different colors, and the third is specially designed for the sea For this reason it is maleable and made of rubber with a kind of tubular weave that allows the strap to stretch when we wear the watch over the neoprene.
The point is that All of these straps are also available separately If we want two breaks or the originals, at the price of 99 euros… 99 euros! Of course they will be expensive accessories for a very expensive smartwatch, very difficult, as I said, to legitimize.
We’ll see how Apple stores breathe, although it means another hit with huge commercial margins for the apple giant. Seeing is believing.
