Apple Watch Ultra 3 set to launch in 2025

After a two-year wait, Apple is gearing up to release the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in September 2025, alongside the iPhone 17 lineup. The new smartwatch promises exciting upgrades, keeping its rugged design for adventurers while adding advanced features to compete with brands like Garmin. A key highlight is satellite connectivity, allowing users to send text messages without Wi-Fi or cellular service.

This feature, already popular on recent iPhones, will make the Ultra 3 ideal for hikers and explorers in remote areas. The watch may also include 5G support for faster data connections, improving navigation and streaming on the go. Health features are expected to improve, with a possible blood pressure monitoring tool. Instead of exact readings, it will track trends and alert users to potential high blood pressure, encouraging them to consult a doctor.

The Ultra 3 might also borrow upgrades from the Apple Watch Series 10, like a brighter display and faster charging. Apple may stick with the $799 price tag, though new U.S. tariffs could affect costs. The design is likely to stay similar, with a titanium case and long battery life.

A new processor should boost performance, and watchOS 12 could bring a fresh look with glass-like visuals. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is shaping up to be a powerful update, blending cutting-edge tech with durability for those who love the outdoors. Fans can expect more details closer to the fall launch.
