Modular Ultra and signpost will not be available on the Apple Watch 10 › Macerkopf

At the beginning of this month, Apple announced the new Apple Watch 10. It has been on sale since the end of last week and has now found its way onto numerous wrists. At the same time, many market observers were surprised that the manufacturer from Cupertino did not present an Apple Watch Ultra 3 this year. Now, of course, the question arises as to which Apple Watch it should be.

Watch faces: Modular Ultra and Signpost will not be available on the Apple Watch 10

Even though the Apple Watch Ultra 2 was announced in fall 2023, it has several advantages over the Apple Watch 10. First and foremost, these include twice the battery life, a 50 percent brighter display, better water protection, and dual-frequency GPS.

In terms of pure display size, however, the Apple Watch 10 has overtaken the Apple Watch Ultra 2. While the Apple Watch 9 had a display area of ​​1,143 sq mm and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 had a display area of ​​1,185 sq mm, the display of the Apple Watch 10 offers a display area of ​​1,220 sq mm.

The question is to what extent the Apple Watch 10 will get the watch faces that Apple designed for the larger display of the Apple Watch Ultra. For example, we are betting on the “Modular Ultra” watch face. Modular Ultra is one of the most versatile watch faces available for the Apple Watch Ultra. It offers, among other things, seven difficulties (three difficulties at the top, three difficulties at the bottom and a large complication in the middle).

The watch face also offers six options for customizing the size and layout of the time. Perhaps most unique is a special area around the bezel of the watch face where you can view additional data, such as depth and altitude data. Another advantage of this watch face is that it has a night mode that turns on automatically and turns red.

Long story short: Even though the display of the Apple Watch 10 is larger than the display of the Apple Watch Ultra and there are no other hardware reasons against it, Apple has dispensed with the Modular Ultra and Signpost watch faces on the Apple Watch 10. However, we are sure that you will find the right watch face for this smartwatch. The Reflection and Change watch faces are completely new this year.
