First of all, let’s remind you that the current Apple Watch Ultra weighs 61.3 grams. In contrast, the 41mm aluminum Apple Watch Series 8 weighs 32 grams. So there’s almost twice the weight difference between the Ultra and the lightest Series 8 model.
Can be lightweight thanks to 3D printed parts
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will feature 3D-printed mechanical parts. Therefore, 3D printed parts can help reduce the weight of the Apple Watch Ultra.
It should be noted that 3D printed components can be made from a wide variety of materials, including resin, plastic, metal and even carbon fiber. According to the latest information, Apple will introduce the second generation Apple Watch Ultra alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 models this fall.
