Enhanced Scratch Resistance
The new black titanium finish isn't just about looks. Apple claims it's more scratch-resistant than ever, thanks to a custom blasting process followed by a carbon coating. This should provide peace of mind for active users who subject their watches to challenging environments.
Matching Accessories
To complement the new color option, Apple has introduced:
- Updated Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band with black hardware
- A new Titanium Milanese Loop featuring a woven titanium mesh and parachute buckle
- Hermès edition with a nautical-themed band and exclusive watch face

Familiar Powerhouse
While the exterior gets an update, the internals remain unchanged from last year's model:
- S9 processor for snappy performance
- Always-On Retina display with up to 3,000 nits brightness
- 36-hour battery life (extendable to 72 hours in low-power mode)
- Comprehensive health and fitness tracking features
- Multi-band GPS and 100m water resistance
Pricing and Availability
The black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 starts at $799 in the US and ₹89,900 in India. For those wanting the premium Titanium Milanese Loop, the price jumps to $1,399 / ₹1,04,900.
Pre-orders are open now, with devices shipping from September 20th.
While not a revolutionary update, the new black titanium finish provides a sleek option for those who found the original titanium too light. It's a smart move by Apple to broaden the appeal of its high-end smartwatch without a full hardware refresh.
