The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is featured in our list of the best smartwatches as the best premium smartwatch for the iPhone — a spot that was previously occupied by the original Apple Watch Ultra. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a rugged wearable device that’s perfect for outdoor adventures, as its lightweight titanium case provides protection against corrosion and other effects of the elements. Its large Digital Crown and customizable Action Button gives you complete control over how you use the smartwatch, and with built-in cellular capabilities, you can make calls and send text messages even when you’re away from your iPhone.

In our Apple Watch Ultra 2 versus Apple Watch Ultra comparison, the upgrades in the newer version of the wearable device include a 50% brighter display at up to 3,000 nits, the faster S9 chip that enables using Siri on the smartwatch itself, the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip that lets you locate lost iPhones through the Precision Finding feature, double the onboard storage at 64GB, a longer battery life of up to 72 hours when low power mode is activated,

However, this doesn’t mean the Apple Watch Ultra is no longer a worthwhile purchase. In terms of design, the two generations of the wearable device look almost identical, and the new bands and watch faces that come with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are compatible with the Apple Watch Ultra. It can be updated to the latest watchOS 10, so you’ll be ale to use new fitness features on the Apple Watch Ultra.

Athletes will love the the fitness-tracking features of both models of the Apple Watch Ultra, with the Workout app able to detect what type of physical activity you’re engaged in and automatically starts recording data. Meanwhile, dual-frequency GPS precisely tracks your location, for accurate measurements of distance and pace. There’s also a Compass app that shows your latitude, longitude, elevation and incline, and fall detection and crash detection that connects you to emergency services when you get caught in an accident.

Between early classes, evening workouts, late study sessions, and everything in between, a smartwatch can do a lot of the mental math a student doesn't have time for.

If you’re in the market for a new smartwatch this back-to-school season, I’ve got seven recommendations for you, each with a few unique aspects. From a $69 budget pick to the newest Apple Watch, every one of them earns its keep, so the only real decision left is which features matter most to you.

Summer break did what it usually does. Your sleep schedule drifted, workouts happened less often than you'd hoped, and by the time August rolled around, you were feeling it. You've got a plan to get back on track once the school year starts and your days have more structure, but you know how that usually goes. The first two weeks are solid, then the routine quietly slips.

A fitness tracker won't get you off your couch. What it will do is put a number in front of you every day, one that makes it obvious whether you stuck to your goal or slacked off. That small bit of visibility is often the difference between meaning to work out and actually doing it. Back-to-school season is a good time to buy in, since you're already resetting more than one part of your routine, and the overlap makes the habit more likely to stick. To keep the odds in your favor, here are three fitness trackers that can help you stay accountable and actually hit your goals.
