Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Reviews Are In: Here’s What Everyone Is Saying
Early Apple Watch Series 12 (starting from $549 CAD) and Apple Watch Ultra 4 (starting from $1,099 CAD) reviews are now live from early media testing, giving us the first round of hands-on impressions ahead of Friday’s launch.
This year, the select group of reviewers are focusing less on major design changes and more on what’s happening underneath, including Apple’s revamped health sensing system, the new S11 chip, new materials and colours, and features designed to lay the groundwork for future AI-powered experiences.
Here’s what reviewers are saying.
