But on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, it happens instantaneously with virtually no delay. If I ask Siri on my Apple Watch Ultra to set a timer, there’s frequently a delay where it requires a couple of seconds to process my request before the timer is actually enabled. From using Siri to set alarms, dictate text messages, and other requests, the assistant is noticeably faster than it is on older Apple Watches. The S9 chip now allows Siri to process requests (that don’t require an internet connection) entirely on-device without having to relay them to your iPhone and back. One area where I have noticed a big upgrade is Siri. Although I can’t say I’ve noticed a significant performance difference between it and my previous-gen Ultra, the added horsepower should come in handy after years of use and software updates down the road. From opening apps, starting workouts, or replying to notifications, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 handles it all without breaking a sweat. And yes, I can indeed confirm that it’s very fast. It’s based on the same A15 Bionic chip used in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, with Apple claiming it to be 30% faster than last year’s Apple Watch Ultra.

The other big upgrade is the new S9 chipset. It’s the brightest display Apple’s ever included on an Apple Watch, and it really does look fantastic. I also appreciate that the screen can go all the down to just one nit, which has been helpful when using the Apple Watch at night or in a dark room.

It’s still the same size OLED display as the previous model, but the brightness has now increased from a 2,000-nit maximum all the way up to 3,000 nits. One of the biggest upgrades this year is the display. I mean it! Even the underside of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 still says “Apple Watch Ultra.” If it wasn’t for the new green/gray Trail Loop on the Ultra 2, I couldn’t tell the two apart.Īlthough the design is unchanged, there are a few new things with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 - you just can’t see them right away. Looking at the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the original Apple Watch Ultra, it’s impossible to tell any difference between them.
