Apple Watch 49mm Midnight Ocean Band

Product Information

Blood Oxygen app measurements are not intended for medical use, including self-diagnosis or consultation with a doctor, and are only designed for general fitness and wellness purposes. Essentially you’ve gotta find a hole that allows a snug fit when you want it for workouts, perhaps a slightly loose fit (one or two notches) for daily use, all while not having the extra strap piece flopping around like a kite in the wind. Features are subject to change. Some features, applications, and services may not be available in all regions or all languages. View complete list. Apple Watch SE has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch SE should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information see support.apple.com/en-us/HT205000.

Prior to the Series 3 (I think), Apple quoted actual battery life specs in modest detail, and the 42mm version had about 20-25% more battery life than then 38mm version. Since the Series 3, they’ve been more vague and claimed the same-ish battery life for both versions.

Customer reviews

Those of you that watched my initial Apple Watch Ultra hands-on video shot at the Apple Keynote remember me saying that I loved the Apple Watch Alpine Loop visually, but found it a solid pain in the ass to get on/off. Given I was putting it on/off repeatedly in a short timeframe, my assessment at the time was valid. However, I think two things might have impacted it in terms of longer usage. Apple Watch Series 9 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 9 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

I never thought I could write so much about some silly straps, but…here I am. Welcome to Apple Watch Ultra mania. As for material, the Alphine Loop does look to be a finer weave than the regular Sport Loop, so it should feel softer on the wrist. It also has significantly more hook-and-loop surface area, so it should be more secure. And, of course, it has the extra “pull tab” loop that supposedly makes it easier to adjust.

And here’s my wife with it. Obviously, this ‘Large’ strap is far too big for her. She’d need a small, but I figured I’d include it nonetheless: Case and strap combinations can be made within collections (Apple Watch and Apple Watch Hermès) only.

The international emergency calling feature requires an Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Cellular), Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular), or Apple Watch SE (GPS + Cellular) model. For a list of supported countries and regions, see apple.com/watchos/feature-availability.The ECG app is available on Apple Watch Series 4 and later (not including Apple Watch SE) with the latest version of iOS and watchOS. See apple.com/au/watch for compatibility details. ECG is not intended for use by people under 22 years old. With the ECG app, Apple Watch is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram.

There are three color options for this band, all available in small (130mm-160mm wrists), medium (145-190mm wrists), or large (165mm-210mm wrists). They are: Orange, White (Starlight), and Green. The Trail Loop: Anyways, once all that’s done, off ya go – wearing the strap. Obviously, with its silicon-like feeling, it feels the most rigid of the straps (technically it’s fluoroelastomer, which is a more expensive silicon variant). And because of that find-the-right-hole balance, it might feel too snug or too loose unless you get it just right. The benefit though, is that it doesn’t retain water. Take for example my openwater swim yesterday: Which band you buy completely depends on what you plan on doing with the watch, and, at the end of the day, which you find most aesthetically pleasing. While I loved the look of the orange Alpine Loop, on my smaller wrists, the most comfortable option was, without a doubt, the Trail Loop. Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a water resistance rating of 100 metres under ISO standard 22810. It may be used for recreational scuba diving (with compatible third-party app from the App Store) to 40 metres and high-speed water sports.
