New images shared by media personnel in attendance after Apple’s “Far out” event are offering the first hands-on look at the all-new Apple Watch Ultra, a new watch designed for athletes and pro users that includes a new design and advanced features.
The Apple Watch Ultra features an all-new 49mm design larger than previous Apple Watch models. The watch features a new housing on the right side for the Digital Crown and the Side Button and includes a new button on the left that Apple calls the “Action button.” The button can be customized to control different functions of the Apple Watch, including starting and ending workouts.

The new Apple Watch Ultra is considerably bigger than even the largest Apple Watch Series 8, so it may not appeal to all customers. For others, Apple today introduced the new Series 8, which includes a new body temperature sensor focused on women’s health in the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7 from last year
The Apple Watch Ultra is priced at $799, is already available for pre-order, and will begin shipping on Friday, September 23.
