Many smart watches fans expected Apple to launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3, with the new iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10 models. That said the last period, even if, apart from a new color variant, nothing was known about the specifications of the future Ultra 3. Sincere to be, it did not have to be speculated 2 (2024), an updated version of Ultra 2 (2023).
Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2024), Titanium Black.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2024) does not bring new features compared to the previous model, but it comes with a black titan, which makes it look totally different from Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2023).
Even if the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black does not bring new features and features, we must admit that the black titan finishes look great. To be honest, during the presentation event it took me some time until I realized it was actually Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2023) with a new color and a new belt pattern.
We must admit that besides the black titanium housing, the original appearance of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black is also given the new Titanium Milanese Loop belts launched by Apple on this new model.
Compared to Milanese Loop belts for Apple Watch Series 9 (or older models), Titanium Milanese Loop for Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a more robust design and system of clamping. Apple gave up magnetic grip and introduced a new very effective clamp clamping system, which fixes very well the Titanium Milanese Loop belt on the wrist.
The price for the Black model of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2024) is the same as the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but if you want the version with Titanium Milanese Loop, you have to pay extra $ 100, ie $ 899.
In conclusion, if you already have an Apple Watch Ultra 2, you have no upgrade to do. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will most likely be released next year. At the Apple event this fall was launched only the Titanium Black color version for Apple Watch Ultra 2.
There is also a mystery that Apple has not clarified, and if the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2024) Titanium Black units have the sensor that measures the oxygen saturation and if it can be used outside the USA. We already know that on the new generation Apple Watch Series 10 the sensor no more present, this being a consequence of a process related to patents that Apple lost at the end of 2023.

Monday (18-12-2023), Apple said he will have to suspend the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 sales to comply with an International Trade Commission request that prohibits the United States of components related to Apple Watch's blood monitoring technology. The ITC issued the judgment after decided that the Blood Oxygen sensor of Apple Watch violates the patents owned by the Masimo medical devices.
This selling prohibition is also applied to the Refrontated Apple Series 7 and Apple Watch 8 models, as they also contain the blood oxygen measurement sensor. Apple Watch is the only model that is not affected by this prohibition.
So, if you are not from the door and have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 that your oxygen saturation measurement application works, the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2024) Titanium Black may no longer have this sensor.
