Which is the Best Apple Watch for You?

When looking for an Apple Watch, it’s helpful to know what the different models can do. In this blog, we’ll show you which is the best Apple Watch for you.

The Best Apple Watch: The Apple Watch Ultra

In theory, we can answer this question simply, as since September 2022, the Apple Watch Ultra has been available. The name says it all—this is the ultimate Apple Watch. The Apple Watch Ultra is an extreme version of the Apple Watch, designed entirely for sports and adventure. The case is made of titanium, and the design is optimised for sports use.

Of course, there are many more differences between the Apple Watch 8 and the Apple Watch Ultra. The Ultra is packed with gadgets and features focused on outdoor activities and movement.

Theoretically, the Apple Watch Ultra is Apple’s most powerful watch to date, but it’s not suitable for everyone. This is primarily an Apple Watch for avid athletes or adventurers. If you want an Apple Watch for daily use, consider the following options instead:

What else can you do with an Apple Watch 8 Series? This depends on the version you buy. Standard models come with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. You can also opt for a version with mobile data, an optional extra costing £120.00 more. Here’s a short list of what you can do with an Apple Watch 8 Series:

✔️ Extensive sports & activity tracking
✔️ Sleep monitor
✔️ Navigate and track walking/cycling routes with GPS

Which Apple Watch for Women

An Apple Watch is available in two different sizes, a smaller and a larger option. The size you choose depends on your wrist size and personal preference. If you have a small wrist, it’s common to opt for a smaller Apple Watch, but that’s not mandatory if you prefer a larger screen. Even with a larger wrist, a smaller Apple Watch can work if you find it more aesthetically pleasing.

For women, it’s generally recommended to choose a smaller Apple Watch (41mm for the Apple Watch 8), but this is just a suggestion and assumes women have smaller wrists. Select the size that best suits you, based on factors like screen size or wrist measurement.

Which Strap for Which Apple Watch?

Have you decided which Apple Watch to buy and are already looking for a nice Apple Watch strap to personalise it? It’s useful to know that all Apple Watch generations use the same strap connection. This gives you a wide range of Apple Watch straps to choose from. Learn in detail how to find an Apple Watch strap that fits your Watch.

Conclusion

The Apple Watch Ultra is Apple’s most powerful smartwatch to date, but it’s not for everyone. For regular use, it’s more practical to consider an Apple Watch Series 8 or an Apple Watch SE for a budget-friendly option. Only a dedicated athlete will fully utilise the Apple Watch Ultra.
