What’s new
Apple Watch Ultra 3 gets iterative improvements across the board, but the standout feature is undoubtedly the new Emergency SOS via satellite. This is a game-changer for anyone who loves the great outdoors. Now, even if you find yourself without a cellular or Wi-Fi signal, you can still get help, message your loved ones, and share your location. It’s a peace-of-mind feature that’s hard to put a price on.
The Watch Ultra 3 gets the largest display ever on an Apple Watch, and with thinner borders, you get more screen real estate without a significantly larger device. The display is also brighter and easier to read from an angle, which is a nice touch. Apple has also beefed up the battery life, offering up to 42 hours on a single charge and an impressive 72 hours in Low Power Mode. Plus, with fast charging, you’ll spend less time tethered to an outlet.
