During the iPhone 17 presentation, Apple officially announced the new Watch Ultra 3 smartwatch. The new model received a larger and brighter display, a battery with up to 42 hours of battery life, and support for satellite communication - features that were previously not available in any Apple Watch model.
Like the Watch Series 11, the new Ultra supports 5G, hypertension detection, advanced sleep analysis with Sleep Score, and new Flow and Exactograph watch faces. The Ultra 3 also adds an exclusive Waypoint watch face focused on outdoor activities and navigation.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 case is available in two colors. It uses 3D printing technology to produce it, which reduces material consumption. The company also introduced new band colors that are compatible with previous generations of the Ultra.
Apple is positioning the Ultra 3 as a flagship smartwatch for athletes and travelers. Among the new features are improved GPS performance, as well as satellite communication, which allows you to send emergency messages in areas without cellular coverage.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 costs $799. Pre-orders start on September 12, and official sales will begin on September 19.
Apple also introduced the new Watch SE 3 with AOD and AirPods Pro 3 headphones, which received a heart rate sensor.
