I stand corrected, but the same article also states:

“Water Resistant 100 m […] NOT suitable for diving.”

“Water Resistant 200 m [.] Suitable for skin diving only. NOT suitable for scuba diving.”

And, IIUC, WR100 is exactly what the Apple Watch Ultra has.

Yeah, totally agree. That's why it's kind of weird/concerning that they conform to the much more lenient standard.
