Apple launches the Watch Ultra 4 with upgraded health tracking and longer battery life for athletes. The updated sports watch brings faster processing, extended outdoor tracking, and refined sensors to Apple’s premium line.
The new Health Sensing System works directly with the S11 chip to measure your heart rate every five seconds. It checks heart rate variability up to 24 times more frequently throughout the day. These frequent readings build a daily readiness score rated from 0 to 10 to help you manage your daily training load.
Battery performance gets a major jump across all modes. Standard daily use lasts up to 50 hours, while Low Power Mode stretches uptime to 84 hours.
For long outdoor runs or hikes, Max Extended Workout mode tracks your activity for up to 45 hours continuously. A quick 15 minute fast charge delivers up to 18 hours of additional use.
The S11 chip improves step tracking accuracy and powers new smart audio tools on your wrist. Sound Recognition notifies deaf or hard of hearing users about doorbells, sirens, or crying babies. Automatic Shazam song detection identifies music playing around you without opening an app.
You can pick between natural and black titanium finishes. Apple paired the watch with updated Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and translucent Ocean Band colors. The casing uses 45 percent recycled materials overall, including 100 percent recycled titanium.
