It has the largest display of any Apple Watch, which is better for viewing maps offline. It also has the same distinctive design as the original, including a three-mic array for taking calls while on a ski lift and diving capabilities. Like the Series 11, it has 5G connectivity in addition to Satcom, Hypertension notifications, and all the features of watchOS 26. Still, while I don’t usually recommend that you should buy the latest Apple Watch, this year I think battery life and Satcom are two very important reasons to upgrade. On a weekend trip, I didn’t mind battery usage, freely using the Watch Ultra 3 off-grid to navigate a several-hour car ride, track several trail runs and hikes, and send satellite texts, and it lasted from Friday morning to Sunday morning. Like the Series 11, the Watch Ultra 3’s titanium case is also 3D printed for greater material efficiency.
It is now a true weekend watch, fulfilling the promise made by the Watch Ultra several years ago.
