The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a nice step up from the first-generation Ultra, and while it doesn't change a huge amount in terms of design, there are some welcome tweaks and improvements under the hood.
If you're picking up a new Ultra 2 and want a more exciting or useful charger than the cable that Apple supplies with the watch, here are the best chargers for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 - and the best part is, they'll all work with other Apple Watch models (including the first Ultra).
