Today at its 'Far Out' event, Apple took the wraps off the Apple Watch Ultra, a rugged version of its smartwatch. While this looks great, and comes packed with features that will appeal to anyone who spends a lot of time exercising or exploring outdoors, most people will be more interested in the updated standard model.
Series 8 of the smartwatch comes with a lot of new features, including Crash Detection which can tell if you’ve been in a bad car crash and will automatically contact emergency services if it detects you're unresponsive.
