So similar to the Ultra Watch 1 you might not know they're different. Oddly, even the labeling on the rear sensor is the same and says "Apple Watch Ultra" (not ultra 2). Apparently, the only real difference is the screen brightness, processor, memory and something called a wideband chip. I was very happy with my Ultra 1 and it's the first really practical apple watch for cycling and hiking. Apple offers a better user experience with mostly everything you could want in a fitness watch now. They still don't compete for battery life compared to say a phoenix but garmin isn't very good at software. This is an excellent watch all around and you can't really get anything better I've seen.
