It was definitely a bit fiddly, but when it was at its best, it was spectacular. How much better would a more refined version of this with better pinch recognition be on the Ultra 2?!<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, better and worse.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, pinch recognition is absolutely wonderful, and is effectively 100% for me. I&rsquo;d put it up there with Face ID in terms of success rate, which is to say basically 100%.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, this feature is very half-baked right now. The short version of my criticism is that it doesn&rsquo;t do as much as you want, when it does something it often does the opposite of what you want, and you never know when it&rsquo;s going to work or not because the UI is basically non-existent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple (MacRumors): Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers all of the features users love about Ultra, plus the powerful new S9 SiP, a magical new double tap gesture, Apple&rsquo;s brightest display ever, expanded altitude range, on-device Siri, Precision Finding for iPhone, and advanced capabilities for water adventures.
