I've had the Apple Watch Ultra since the advent of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 last year. It's undoubtedly the best Apple Watch the company has ever made, with a host of specialized features that make it ideal for workout tracking and exercise, including one I've only just discovered.

I've long neglected the Action button on my iPhone 15 Pro Max (and now my iPhone 16 Pro Max), and the Action button on my Apple Watch Ultra. I've never really taken the time to think about what exactly I could use either for, and I've certainly never thought about straying past the default functions into the world of Shortcuts beyond.
