When we first reviewed the original Apple Watch Ultra, we described it as the Apple Watch on steroids. The rugged smartwatch was firmly aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, with new features such as dual-band GPS and depth sensors. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 improves on the first model, incorporating new features for outdoor pursuits.
This titanium-shelled timepiece is already pretty durable, with an IPX6 dust resistance rating, MIL-STD 810H temperature certification, and EN13319 depth certification. It’s not easy to damage, but if you want to add another layer of protection, you might consider investing in an Apple Watch case.

Misxi 2-Pack Hard PC Case for Apple Watch Ultra
If you’re adventurous, your Apple Watch Ultra 2 is likely to take a beating. This 2-pack of hard cases is the perfect solution, with tempered glass to protect your screen and a second case that you can use when the first gets too badly beaten up.
What’s the best Apple Watch Ultra 2 case overall?
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a rugged smartwatch designed for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s built to take some knocks, with a titanium body and sapphire crystal display, but if you’re adventurous, it’s highly likely that your Apple Watch will take some knocks.
The Spigen Rugged Armor Apple Watch Ultra case matches the rugged design of the Apple Watch Ultra, and adds additional protection to what is already a robust watch. The raised edges reduce the risk of your screen getting scratched, and the shock-absorbing layer gives further protection against knocks.
If you’re looking for a more premium look, the MAGEASY Odyssey is made from high-grade aluminum, combining protection with a beautiful metallic finish. It matches the style of your titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2, ensuring that your Apple Watch still looks as expensive as it actually was.
One downside of a premium case is that you then start worrying about scratching the case instead of your watch. If you’re looking for a low-cost case that you can switch out when it gets too battered, the Misxi 2-Pack Hard PC case is a great choice. With two cases for a low price, you can head outdoors without worrying about damage to your Apple Watch or your case.
