"Who is the $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 for? The Garmin crowd? I can already hear Garmin fans cackling from whatever distant mountain they're hiking on. The gadget nerd who simply must have the best-of-the-best smartwatch? I'm 99.9 percent sure those folks already have an Ultra 2. For three years, I've been pondering who the Ultra's audience is, and for the Ultra 3, my answer is simple: anyone who wants one but doesn't have one yet."
"The Ultra 3 doesn't pack in a ton of updates - especially not compared to the entry-level Apple Watch SE 3. The screen is marginally larger thanks to thinner bezels. Satellite and 5G connectivity have been added. Battery life is extended from 36 hours to 42 hours. WatchOS 26 adds neat features like the wrist-flick gesture, hypertension notifications, and an improved smart stack, though none of those are unique to this watch."
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 delivers incremental improvements including a marginally larger screen from thinner bezels, added satellite and 5G connectivity, and extended battery life from 36 to 42 hours. watchOS 26 brings features such as a wrist-flick gesture, hypertension notifications, and an improved smart stack. The hardware and software updates are not dramatic compared with the Ultra 2 or the entry-level SE 3, leaving most existing Ultra owners with little reason to upgrade. The Ultra 3’s design and feature set make it most compelling for buyers who do not already own an Ultra.
