I love this watch and can say confidently that is the best Apple Watch yet made for hiking. The standard Apple Watches are very good, and probably good enough for most day hiking, but if you’ve ever felt limited by their screen, battery or durability you’ll be very happy with this upgrade. I also think it is probably the best choice amongst all sports watches for hiking for all but the most specialist needs (assuming you have an iPhone).

David also tested the audio of the Apple Watch Ultra and the battery life that lasted throughout his hike. In addition, he also compared various aspects of the Apple Watch Series 7 which will allow you to make an informed decision when it comes to getting your hands on the latest.
