As we noted in our Apple Watch Ultra review, it is the best Apple Watch to buy if you're a serious athlete, and is arguably the most exciting Apple Watch on the market in 2022. In addition to new watchOS running features, the Ultra has an extra third button — the Action Button — which makes pausing the watch, or lapping the watch on the move, that little bit easier with sweaty fingers, or when wearing gloves.

As well as the Action Button, the Apple Watch Ultra has a brighter display of 2,000 nits (the brightest screen on any Apple Watch), and a battery life of 60 hours, which is a huge improvement on the 36 hours of the Apple Watch 8. It also the latest GPS protocol (L5), promising the most precise location data of any Apple Watch yet, and a siren safety feature, to help you alert others of your location if lost on the trail.

The Apple Watch Ultra comes with three different bands. The watch itself is the same, but you can choose between the Alpine loop, the Trail loop, and the Ocean loop. The sale is currently across all of the different bands including the Alpine loop — designed for “explorers," as well as the Trail loop and the Ocean loop.
