The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is just as durable as the original Watch Ultra model, making it one of the most durable smartwatches out there. It's built specifically for those with an active lifestyle, and it carries an IPX6 dust resistance rating and MIL-STD 810H and EN13319 certifications. Apple has built this watch to last for a long time, but it doesn't hurt to add a bit of extra protection to ensure it's well-maintained and works as advertised for a long time.

Apple just released the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, but we're already looking ahead to the next generation of Apple Watch. Rumors and leaks from reputable sources suggest that Apple might finally overhaul the design of the Apple Watch after a few stagnant years. The last design change to the standard Apple Watch came with the Series 7, which brought a larger edge-to-edge display. Before that, the most noticeable upgrade was between the Series 3 and Series 4, and it's been five years since that smartwatch debuted. Since next year's Apple Watch will represent the 10th series of Apple Watch, we're expecting a dramatic change similar to the iPhone X launch in 2017.

Consider some of these practical and protective accessories to keep your new tablet in pristine condition. Plus, there’s good news for those upgrading. The Tab S9+’s dimensions are only a fraction of a millimeter apart from that of the Tab S8+, the S7 FE, and the S7+. So you can select from a suite of accessories vetted by owners of previous Galaxy Tab generations and not worry about whether they'll fit. That being said, we've highlighted some dedicated Galaxy Tab S9+ cases in the collection below as well, so be sure to check them out.

Windows 11 offers a range of configurations that cater to different user needs and preferences. However, personalizing your Windows 11 experience can always be hindered by the infamous S Mode. This mode prioritizes security and performance by restricting app installations to the Microsoft Store and requiring the use of Edge. Users are also restricted from accessing command line prompts and modifying Windows registry files.
