The issue with Apple Watch Ultra is that it has no way of connecting to a transmitter. Bluetooth is used for countless accessories but isn't feasible for underwater use because it can't reliably travel through water.

Aqualung, Suunto, Mares, and Scubapro all use RF, while Garmin developed its own Subwave sonar system that is even more reliable. Neither of those options will work with the existing Apple Watch Ultra.

RF stands for Radio Frequency, therefore Bluetooth is also RF. What RF bands do the named devices use that allows them to work reliably under water?

 Dive Tank Pressure Gauges use 123Khz to send the signal to the dive computer. Bluetooth is 2.4Ghz. Doesn't travel well through water.

"Translation", "Translator" =TEXT "Interpretation" "Interpreter" = Spoken word. Important when distinguishing the capabilities of people and devices. An interpreter can tell you in your language the meaning and often nuance of the speakers words. The Translator will give you word for word translation.

Alexa has a Simon Says feature that can be used through the remote. I was messing with it one night and my wife was in the Kitchen I was in the living room and I could hear her talking to Alexa asking what are you saying. She was unaware it was me so I Simon Says "Quiet woman or I will kill you in your sleep" She lost her shit. and came running into the living room screaming DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID!!! I laughed so hard I was crying.

So disappointing.  Apple had to make it so thin.  That means it has a much smaller battery than it could have had.  OLED screens typically have higher power demands.  In reality it will probably only get 6 hours or so.

Actually the Battery is larger on the new model and the Runtime specs are exactly the same as the previous model.

Will the new remote work with the old 4K Apple TV?

Per Apple website: "The Siri Remote (2nd generation) brings precise control to your Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD" with no distinction being made between the new 4K/HD boxes and the 2017 4K and 2015 HD Apple TV boxes (at least not yet).

Thanks for the Link, And the good news under the dropdown for compatibility it says it is compatible with older models.

Too bad the power button doesn't use the IR to turn off the receiver that is not HDMI power control capable.
