Apple’s plans for a new Apple Watch Ultra in 2023 are gaining credibility, and initial details have begun to surface regarding the high-end model. Recent reports from sources in China suggest that the forthcoming version is likely to have a reduced weight compared to its predecessor.
The current Apple Watch Ultra boasts a weight of 61.3 grams, making it slightly heavier than both the stainless steel variant (51.5 grams) and the aluminum version (approximately 39 grams). However, specific details about the extent of weight reduction in the potential Apple Watch Ultra 2 have not been disclosed by the source.
Having experienced the weight of various Apple Watch models, including stainless steel and titanium, the comfort of the 60+ grams on the wrist has been manageable, particularly with the utilization of titanium materials.
Nevertheless, lighter devices are always favored, as even a marginal reduction, such as 5 grams, can noticeably impact daily use. As we await further rumors, anticipation grows toward the probable announcement, expected to take place in September.
