Apple Watch Ultra 3

With its titanium build, improved signal strength, and expanded off-grid features, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 builds upon its predecessor while maintaining its status as the best adventure smartwatch available. Updates include a brighter, more efficient display, 5G connectivity, and the long-awaited addition of satellite messaging for SOS, two-way texts, and FindMy updates.

The Ultra is still a rarer sight than other models, so if you wanted a less ubiquitous Apple Watch this is it. While those looking for a dedicated top-priced sports watch might overlook it in favour of a Garmin or similar, the Ultra 3 has all the ingredients to be a first-rate training companion – as long as you can charge it more frequently – while still being the best smartwatch you can get with an iPhone. The Ultra 3 is the best Apple Watch. Just don’t expect it to be a massive upgrade over older Ultra models.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is even more well-connected than its predecessor, with a 5G modem and satellite support, bringing extra peace of mind to its target audience of outdoor enthusiasts.

The $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 brings satellite connectivity, 5G, and longer battery life to Apple’s most rugged smartwatch. With the brightest display of any Apple Watch, new health tools like hypertension alerts, and all the safety features Apple is known for, it’s the ultimate wearable for those who want the very best.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is simply a powerhouse of a wearable, adding 5G, satellite connectivity and new screen technology to an already-winning formula. The Low Power Mode can stretch its runtime to a remarkable 72 hours, and its fitness metrics are accurate against a leading chest-mounted heart rate monitor. After all our testing, we can confirm Apple's Ultra upgrade can truly go the distance in every sense of the term.
