The first-gen Apple Watch Ultra arrived in September 2022 and tips the scales at 61.3 grams, or 2.16 ounces. For comparison, the 41mm aluminum Apple Watch Series 8 weighs just 32 grams while the larger 45mm variant checks in at 38.8 grams (or 51.5 grams if you want a stainless steel body).
Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said he believes Apple is actively adopting 3D printing technology and could utilize it to create titanium-based mechanical components for the upcoming second-gen Apple Watch Ultra. 3D printed parts would still have to go through CNC machining for back-end processes, Kuo added, but it would still cut down on manufacturing time and reduce overall production costs.
