👀 Leaks & Rumors

Apple Watch Ultra 4 is packing extra sensors and AI to muscle in on Fitbit Air and WHOOP, but fitness tracking wins on battery life and real insights, not sensor count. Without proof the AI delivers, this is just $500-plus of spec inflation.

Marty’s Take:

If you’re shopping today, don’t wait on rumors. Apple Watch Ultra 4’s doubled sensors mean nothing until Apple ships accuracy data, and history says early Ultra generations ship features half-baked. Buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2 now at its inevitable discount, or skip Apple entirely for battery-first options in our best fitness tracker rankings.
