The Ultra is literally advertised as a dive watch, so I think your information might be a little bit out of date.

You think that. Get some water in your Ultra, Apple will tell you tough luck.

Many threads with complaints that people are using their Apple Watches as intended and as marketed, but once there is a bit of water ingress, Apple will not cover the damage (outside of normal warranty period).

Even then they advertise it as water resistant up to 100m

*but we don't recommend you use it beyond 40m and may degrade over time.

Worse than that. It was tested and as soon as you pass 40m, it gives a warning, stops displaying the depth and just tells you ASCEND. Once you are above 40m it functions again but the No Decompression Limit is no longer reliable, as it doesn't track the actual depth you were at, while >40m.

That’s entirely reasonable, 40 meters is the limit of recreational diving.

Anyone going deeper would be doing tech diving and would need to be using a proper dive computer.

Is there a different warranty for the Ultra that gives you money back if the watch is dead because of water damage? (As far as I know, no.) If not, what's the point of your comment?

The point of my comment was to draw attention to the fact that it likely had better waterproofing than previous watches.
