Summary
$799 Apple Watch Ultra 4 is now up for pre-order ahead of its September 18 launch, adding a new health sensing system, 4GB of RAM and an S11 chip.
Battery life rises to 50 hours from 42 on the Ultra 3, while Low Power Mode stretches to 84 hours and 15 minutes of charging now delivers up to 18 hours of normal use.
Health upgrades center on much more frequent heart-rate and HRV tracking—background heart-rate checks every five seconds, or 60 times more often—plus expanded Vitals, Readiness and recovery features.
Apple keeps the same basic design and starting price as the Ultra 3, making the new model a bigger draw for new buyers and endurance-focused users than for most current Ultra 3 owners.
