Apple Watch Series 10 vs Ultra 2: Which Should You Choose?
The Apple Watch Series 10, launched on 20 September 2024, has sparked debate about whether it outshines the Ultra 2. Our tests suggest the Ultra 2 is superior, but we recommend the Series 10 for most UK users due to its significantly lower price and comparable features.
Specifications
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the key specifications:
| Apple Watch Series 10 | Apple Watch Ultra 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Life | Up to 18 hours | Up to 36 hours |
| Battery Life (Low Power Mode) | Up to 36 hours | Up to 72 hours |
| Storage | 64 GB | 64 GB |
| Case Size | 42mm or 46mm | 49mm |
| Water Resistance | Up to 50 meters | Up to 100 meters |
| Display | Always-On Retina, up to 2,000 nits | Always-On Retina, up to 3,000 nits |
The Ultra 2 outperforms the Series 10 in most areas, particularly battery life and display brightness, but the differences are often subtle in daily use.
Starting at £399 (Series 10), £799 (Ultra 2)
Price
The biggest difference is the price. The Series 10 starts at £399, while the Ultra 2 costs £799—nearly double. While the Ultra 2 offers superior specs, the value of these upgrades is questionable for most users. Personalise your Series 10 with our Apple Watch Series 10 straps.
Battery
The Ultra 2’s battery life is a standout, lasting up to 36 hours (72 hours in Low Power Mode), compared to the Series 10’s 18 hours (36 hours in Low Power Mode). This allows the Ultra 2 to last two to three days without charging. However, the Series 10 charges faster, reaching 80% in 30 minutes versus the Ultra 2’s 60 minutes. Upgrade your charging with our Apple Watch chargers.
Features
The Ultra 2 includes exclusive features not found on the Series 10:
- Siren for emergencies
- Action button for quick access
- Night Mode for low-light visibility
- Wind noise reduction for calls
While these add value, they’re often underutilized in everyday scenarios. Customise your Ultra 2 with our Apple Watch Ultra 2 straps.
