Apple Watch Ultra 4 review: The health upgrade that finally eases battery anxiety
The Apple Watch Ultra 4 review highlights the health upgrade that addresses battery anxiety concerns. As a diabetic, the reviewer relies on their Apple Watch for managing chronic conditions and eagerly anticipates features that enhance vital data tracking. The Ultra 4 and Series 12 bring redesigned ECG electrodes and optical sensors, promising more accurate measurements and new features like heart-rate updates every five seconds with a two-minute history.
Despite not having a larger battery, the Ultra 4 lasts two full days of regular use and up to four days in low power mode, alleviating battery anxiety. WatchOS 27 streamlines app discovery, suggesting frequently used apps and keeping Siri at the forefront. Siri becomes more contextual, providing quick explanations and accurate responses to queries like checking the weather.
The reviewer also notes Siri's always-listening mode, though audio intelligence features are not yet available to all users. In sleep tracking, the Ultra 4's data aligns closely with the Oura Ring 4, offering useful insights into readiness scores and heart rate variability. The Ultra 4 is recommended for users seeking an upgrade from their existing Apple Watch or first-time buyers willing to invest in a more capable health companion, particularly professionals who prioritize staying on top of their health.
