In addition to the new Series 9, the company this morning announced an update to last year’s Apple Watch Ultra. The Apple Watch Ultra Series 2 is powered by the S9 chip — same as the Series. The crowd at today’s event let out an audible gasp when the company revealed that the rugged smartwatch has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

Like the Series 9, the Ultra is carbon neutral if paired with the new Alpine Loop. The new Ultra starts at $799. Preorder starts today and it starts shipping September 22.
