Apple Watch Updates Announced

DC Rainmaker has the details:

Today Apple announced Apple Watch Series 10, with a substantial hardware change and upgrade. In fact, so big it’s now got a bigger screen than the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which didn’t see a new hardware version this year, only a new Titanium finish option)…

Not a ton of hardware changes, in fact the Ultra received face time in the presentation but just to show off a new color, no internal hardware changed were made. The big announcements are all software related and focus on health features and lots and lots of fitness/workout/sport related functions and improvements, which the folks at Garmin, Suunto, and Coros will be watching very closely. So far, the battery life of the Apple Watch still doesn’t make it a contender for running ultras – having said this, for my OCC race last week I bet the Apple Watch Ultra, fully charged, would’ve been just about alright.
