Apple has launched the Watch Series 12 with faster charging but the same 24-hour battery life, alongside the Ultra 4, which extends battery life to 50 hours. Both models run watchOS 27, which brings tighter Siri and Apple Intelligence integration, including AI-suggested apps, new one-handed gestures, expanded workout and women's health tracking, and a Siri Recap feature for real-time transcription and translation.

This marks Apple's clearest push to make the Watch a genuine AI-assisted device rather than just a fitness and notification accessory. Features like Siri Recap and AI-suggested apps signal Apple catching up to rivals embedding generative AI into wearables, while the Ultra's battery boost addresses a longstanding complaint from power users.
