According to some Apple Watch Ultra users, the display on the most expensive and premium Apple Watch model suffers from “jelly scrolling.” This is the term used to denote a screen that refreshes noticeably slower on one half than on the other half. This creates an unsteady “wobbling effect” when a user scrolls through content on the timepiece’s display quickly.

One Reddit subscriber by the name of “KanevX05” wrote, “Yes it’s there but it is not an issue! The display refreshes from left to right which is why you see it. Just a design thing.” That led the thread’s original poster, “erehnigol,” to conclude that “Yea. This is prolly the first Apple Watch that refreshes from left to right, like the iPad mini. Not a biggie.”

We don’t expect Apple to make a big deal about this just as it didn’t respond last year to the “jelly scrolling” on the iPad mini 6. The question is how will the consumers who spent $799 on the Apple Watch Ultra respond to what they might perceive to be a defect with the watch. Two factors that might make “jelly scrolling” more noticeable on the timepiece are the larger screen size and the brighter display of the Apple Watch Ultra.
