Apple Watch Ultra 2 specs and features

The Watch Ultra 2 is touted as being able to last up to 36 hours of typical use and 72 hours in low-power mode. It’s also capable of being used for recreational scuba diving, up to 40 metres, and free diving.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 will feature WatchOS 10, enabling enhanced mapping, widgets, new app icons and a new Modular Ultra watch face. Like with the Apple Watch 9, you can now use the double-tap gesture, bringing your thumb and index finger together, to begin and end calls.
