Apple Watch Ultra 3 is finally happening! According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the highly anticipated smartwatch is on track to launch this year with game-changing satellite connectivity and 5G support. After a quiet 2024 with only color options, the Ultra line is getting its biggest upgrade yet.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Key Features
The standout feature will be satellite connectivity, allowing users to send text messages when Wi-Fi and cellular coverage disappears. This works independently of your iPhone, making it perfect for remote adventures where the Ultra series shines.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to launch in a little over two months from now, likely alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2025.
Expected Upgrades & Specifications
| Feature | Apple Watch Ultra 3 | Previous Model |
|---|---|---|
| Satellite Connectivity | Yes (text messaging) | No |
| 5G Support | Expected | LTE only |
| Chip | S10 or newer | S9 chip |
| Display | Wide-angle OLED, brighter | Standard OLED |
| Charging | Faster charging | Standard speed |
| Always-On Display | Higher refresh rate | 60Hz |
What’s Been Missing Since 2023
The Ultra model has not received any hardware upgrades since 2023, with 2024’s Ultra 2 only adding a black titanium case option. The upcoming Ultra 3 represents the first significant hardware evolution in two years.
Many features are borrowed from the Apple Watch Series 10, including the improved display technology and faster charging capabilities, ensuring the Ultra line stays current with Apple’s latest innovations.
Blood Pressure Monitoring Uncertainty
Apple was still experiencing issues with a planned blood pressure monitoring feature as of March 2025, making it unclear whether this health feature will debut with the Ultra 3. This could be a major selling point if Apple resolves the technical challenges.
Why This Matters for Adventure Enthusiasts
The satellite connectivity transforms the Ultra 3 into a true wilderness companion. Mountain climbers, hikers, and remote workers can stay connected even in areas with zero cellular coverage. Combined with the Ultra’s existing durability features, this creates an unmatched outdoor smartwatch experience.
The timing aligns perfectly with Apple’s September event tradition, where the Ultra 3 should debut alongside the iPhone 17 series. For more Apple coverage and tech insights, visit TechnoSports.
