As the rumors suggested, and after seven generations focused on the general public and sports, Apple has fully immersed itself in extreme sports with its new Apple Watch Ultra. The company’s first generation of Pro smartwatches complements an audience for which the recently introduced Apple Watch Series 8 falls short. Maybe not so much in the possibilities, but yes in terms of durability and functionality.
