Apple Watch Ultra

Charger Included?

Apple Watch Ultra arrived in 2022 as Apple's first rugged, adventure-oriented smartwatch, built for divers, trail runners, and anyone who wanted a titanium case that could take a hit. It carries model number A2622 and shipped under a long list of regional order numbers, all the same hardware. The 49mm titanium case, flat sapphire crystal, and dual-frequency GPS made it a genuine outlier in the Apple Watch lineup, and that reputation for durability is exactly why it still holds resale value years later. Pick your condition above for an instant cash offer, and see how the process works if you want the details before you commit. If you have more than one wearable to move, you can also check what selling a smartwatch pays across the rest of your collection.

Confirm you have the Apple Watch Ultra

On the watch itself, go to Settings → General → About. The Model Number field will read A2622, and the Identifier field will read Watch6,18. If the watch is dead or won't boot, check the paired iPhone instead: open the Watch app, tap the paired watch at the top, then General → About.

A2622 / Watch6,18

  • Only cellular configuration Apple made for this generation of Ultra
  • Regional order numbers include MNHC3LL/A, MQEW3LL/A, MQEX3LL/A, MQEY3LL/A, MQF03LL/A, MQF13LL/A, MNHA3LL/A, MQEU3LL/A, MQEV3LL/A, MQF43LL/A, MQF53LL/A, MNHE3LL/A, MQF33LL/A, MNHD3LL/A, MQF23LL/A, MQET3LL/A, MNH83LL/A, MNH93LL/A
  • All correspond to the same 49mm titanium hardware, differing only by band and packaging market

Prefer a visual check? Look for the 49mm titanium case, noticeably larger and thicker than any standard Apple Watch. The orange Action button sits on the left edge, and the front glass is flat rather than curved. A raised titanium ring protects the crown from side impacts.

Core hardware

Processor

  • Apple S8 SiP, 64-bit dual-core processor
  • W3 wireless chip
  • U1 ultra wideband chip for precise device finding

Storage

  • 32GB internal storage
  • Fixed, not upgradable, not user-serviceable
  • Enough for offline music, podcasts, and maps without a paired phone nearby

Display & audio

Display: LTPO OLED always-on Retina display under a flat sapphire crystal, rated for high outdoor brightness. The flat design was chosen specifically to resist scratches and cracks better than a curved crystal.

Audio: Dual speakers tuned for both phone calls and an 86-decibel emergency siren, audible over long distances outdoors. A depth gauge and water temperature sensor support the dive-focused feature set.

Security: Passcode lock with wrist-detection auto-lock. Removing the watch or leaving it idle locks it until the passcode is re-entered.

Ports & connectivity

Apple Watch Ultra has no physical data port. Charging and any wired connection run through the magnetic pins on the case back.

Wired
  • Magnetic fast-charging back (USB-C charging cable included in box)
Wireless
  • LTE and UMTS cellular (eSIM)
  • Dual-frequency GPS (L1 + L5)
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth 5.3
  • NFC for Apple Pay

Battery, build & more

Battery: Rated for up to 36 hours of normal use, extending to roughly 60 hours in low power mode. Battery health degrades with age and charge cycles, and a watch that no longer holds a full day of charge still sells, just at a lower condition grade.

Finish: Natural titanium case only, one finish across every regional order number.

Bands: Launched with Ocean Band, Trail Loop, or Alpine Loop options. Any original Ultra band in good shape adds to the value of the bundle.

Software: Pairs with an iPhone through the Watch app and runs watchOS. It shipped on watchOS 9 and updates independently once paired.

Market positioning: Sits above the standard Apple Watch line as Apple's rugged, outdoor-focused flagship. It holds resale value well due to the titanium build and its position as a distinct product line rather than an annual refresh.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → General → About on the watch itself and read the Model Number and Identifier fields. You should see A2622 and Watch6,18. If the watch won't power on, open the Watch app on the paired iPhone and check General → About instead, which shows the same information pulled from the last sync. There is no separate storage or connectivity configuration to check, since every Apple Watch Ultra shipped as one 32GB cellular build.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Apple Watch Ultra 2?
Check the model number in Settings → General → About. This original Ultra reads A2622, while Ultra 2 uses a different model number. Visually the two are nearly identical, same 49mm titanium case, same flat sapphire crystal, same orange Action button, so the on-screen model number is the only reliable way to tell them apart without opening the case back.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes. A cracked crystal, a battery that no longer lasts a full day, or a watch that won't power on can still be sold, just at a lower condition grade rather than a rejection. What can't be worked around is an active lock: if Find My iPhone shows the watch as linked to your Apple ID, you need to unpair it from the Watch app and sign out of iCloud before shipping, otherwise it can't be resold and won't be accepted for payment.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Full function and a clean case matter most. A working Action button, an unscratched flat crystal, and a battery that still holds a reasonable charge push the quote up. Including the original box, the charging cable, and an authentic Ocean Band, Trail Loop, or Alpine Loop also helps, since buyers pay more for a complete kit than a bare watch. Cellular activation status has no bearing on value as long as the watch is unlocked from your Apple ID.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
On the watch itself, go to Settings → General → Reset → Erase All Content and Settings. If you'd rather do it from the phone, open the Watch app, tap the paired watch, then General → Reset → Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings. Either method unpairs the watch and removes it from Find My automatically, but confirm under Settings → General → About that no Apple ID is still listed before shipping. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after inspection and testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps are on our data erasure protocols page.
