Best Apple Watch 2024: Ultra 2 Black vs Hermes - A Surprising Month-Long Test

After a month with the Apple Watch Series 10 Hermes, I find myself in an unexpected dilemma. While the Hermes edition, especially with its Satine Grand H band, offers elegance that turns heads, the newly released Ultra 2 in black titanium keeps catching my eye. Here’s my detailed comparison of these two distinctly different approaches to Apple’s wearable technology.

Ultra 2 Black vs Hermes - A Surprising Month-Long Test

The Luxury Appeal: Series 10 Hermes Experience

The Series 10 Hermes isn’t just another smartwatch - it’s jewelry. With its:

The Ultra 2 Black’s Tempting Features

1. Black Titanium: A Game-Changing Finish

  • Matte black finish that appeals to minimalist tastes
  • More distinctive than the now-common natural titanium
  • Masculine aesthetic that works with any outfit

2. Revolutionary Titanium Milanese Loop

The new band isn’t just an upgrade - it’s a reimagining:

  • Significantly lighter despite increased thickness
  • No hair-pulling issues (a common complaint with traditional Milanese loops)
  • Perfect color match with the black Ultra 2 body

3. Superior GPS Capabilities

The Ultra 2’s dual-frequency GPS provides:

  • Accuracy within 1 meter - ideal for tracking on adventures
  • Precise path tracking for walks and runs
  • Perfect for content creators needing accurate location data
  • Essential for action camera footage overlay

4. Battery Life Comparison

  • Series 10 Hermes: Daily charging required, fast charging reaches 80% in 30 minutes
  • Ultra 2 Black: 2-3 days per charge, ideal for weekend trips without a charger

The "Why Not Both?" Consideration

While using multiple traditional watches is common, switching between Apple Watches presents unique challenges:

  • Cellular plan complications - more details on Apple’s support page
  • Duplicate notifications
  • No native support for multiple watch management

Final Thoughts

The choice between Series 10 Hermes and Ultra 2 Black comes down to priorities:

  • Series 10 Hermes: Luxury, elegance, fashion-forward
  • Ultra 2 Black: Performance, durability, extended battery life

Price Comparison

  • Series 10 Hermes: Starting at $1,249
  • Ultra 2 Black: Starting at $799

Who Should Buy What
