Last week I posted by review of the Apple Watch Ultra, andI found it was a good pick for more people than just those who climb mountains or go diving.

What I Expect from the New Apple Watches
Apple's event this coming week is expected to bring new Apple Watch models, and I wanted to get what I'm expecting out there now so I can be a good Apple rumor guy who brags if I get it right and never talk about it again if I get it wrong.
