I ran the London Marathon with the Apple Watch Ultra – here's my honest opinion

Apple Watch Ultra/London Marathon run test

Many people use the best Apple Watches for running training. Until recently, I mainly used Garmin and Polar watches for this purpose, but my recent experience using one of the latest Apple Watches convinced me I should try them out under actual racing circumstances. After a chat with Apple, I decided to take the Apple Watch Ultra with me to the London Marathon to see what would happen!

Thanks to the WatchOS 9.2 update, the latest Apple Watch cohort is probably the best running watches from the Californian company. In fact, I recently reviewed the Apple Watch Series 8 and was impressed by its running prowess, so naturally, I thought I'd put the watch through its paces at the London Marathon. However, Apple recommended the Ultra as a better option for such a long race; I was happy to oblige.
