Apple Watch Ultra User Mods Titanium Casing to 'Deuglify' Design

The orange color of the Action Button has been removed from the Apple Watch Ultra's case in order to make it more visually appealing.

The user "perezr10" gave their take on the Apple Watch Ultra's design.

First, I think there is nothing wrong with the way the Ultra looks for its intended market. Rugged sport watches should look like this. And they pretty much all do. The things I dislike about the Ultra have practical reasons for being. I used to wear a humongous Garmin sport watch for running.

BUT… I was never wanting to wear my Garmin to work or out on a date. And I don't think I'll ever want to wear this Ultra whenever I'm dressing up either.

There are five things I hate about the design when I consider wearing it as a normal everyday watch. The "tallness," the hunchback which is the crown guard, the holes everywhere, the orange button, and the finish which looked like Starlight aluminum. There is nothing that can be done about the first three but the last two are solvable.

They used a Dremel power tool to make a couple of changes to the Apple Watch Ultra.

The user gave the Apple Watch Ultra a brushed finish using a coarse abrasive finishing buff and moved away from the uniform sandblasted effect of the original device.

The brushed titanium finish is very similar to the casings of some of the Apple Watch Edition models. The Apple Watch Edition line was stopped after the Apple Watch Ultra was launched.

It may not be to everyone's liking, but I really like my Ultra after this. I still won't wear it with a suit, but I'm more likely to use it when I go out and about in jeans.
