It wasn’t till I ran at 5 am in Cupertino that I realized this key feature was missing from the Apple Watch Ultra 4
Here's one feature I wish the Apple Watch Ultra 4 had on board.
At 5 am, I undertook a run in Cupertino, but I soon discovered a crucial feature was absent from the Apple Watch Ultra 4 — a flashlight. While the Apple Watch Ultra 4 possesses a flashlight useful for tasks like reaching the bathroom or plugging in a charger, it falls short in workout modes compared to the Garmin Fenix 9 Pro. Unlike the Garmin Fenix 9 Pro, which features a dedicated physical LED flashlight built into the watch case, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 lights up only its screen.
This proved to be ineffective when navigating the San Francisco Bay Trail during the night. Switching the flashlight on did little to improve visibility and prevented me from viewing my workout stats. This minor issue might not arise frequently, but it is worth considering when choosing between the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and the Garmin Fenix 9 Pro for outdoor activities.
The Apple Watch Ultra 4 offers advanced smartwatch features, but for those who run in the dark, the Garmin Fenix 9 or similar options would be more suitable.
