On the opposite side of the case from the Digital Crown is the new, bright orange Action Button. This has the same degree of flexibility, doesn’t get hot, and allows for masses of adjustments to make it suitable for all wrists and to wear over a wetsuit. I chose it because I wear dive watches a lot, and I particularly like Seiko’s supplied rubber straps. My watch has the Ocean Band, and I have found it perfectly wearable every day. The button and Digital Crown guard don’t dig into your wrist either, which is even difficult for some large traditional watches to avoid. The sharpness of the bezel isn’t repeated anywhere the watch touches your skin, where that familiar curved case ensures it never prods or pokes uncomfortably. Retaining the now-classic Apple Watch shape is the right decision, as - despite the size and 61-gram (95-gram with the band) weight - it’s very comfortable to wear. It’s as if the Series 8 has been reimagined by Tonka. However, the Apple Watch Ultra is recognizably an Apple Watch, just chunkier. I’ve compared the size with other large watches to give you an idea of whether it’s going to suit your wrist or not. If you’ve got slim wrists, it’s going to look gigantic, but not because it’s badly proportioned - no, it’s because the watch is so large.
The 49mm x 44mm x 14mm case is larger than the Apple Watch Series 8 and Watch SE 2, but it’s not all that different from the 45mm x 45mm x 10mm Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, or seriously sporty smartwatches like the 46mm x 46mm x 14mm Garmin Forerunner 955. You’re skeptical, aren’t you? Allow me to explain. I’ve not been anywhere like that during my time with the Apple Watch Ultra, and I think it’s one of the most exciting, most technically impressive, and most characterful products Apple has ever made.
