Apple has started the countdown for the third model of the Apple Watch Ultra series. Updated last year only with a black color option, the Watch Ultra is coming to the stage with important innovations this year. The company is expected to introduce the Apple Watch Ultra 3 on September 8, 2025, along with the iPhone 17 series, and sales are expected to start on September 19.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 will officially appear
One of the most striking features of the new model is the satellite connection. It is stated that this system, which allows the Apple Watch Ultra 3 to send SMS even when it is out of Wi-Fi and cellular network coverage, will work without the need for an iPhone. Thus, a critical security feature will be offered, especially for users who do outdoor sports or are out of coverage area.

The technical specifications of the watch are also significantly updated. It is stated that Apple will include an S10 or a newer generation chip in the Ultra 3, which will increase both general performance and energy efficiency. In addition, the model is expected to support a special 5G variant. Currently, the Apple Watch Ultra models on the market only support LTE connectivity.
Developments are also noteworthy on the screen side. The wide-angle OLED screen of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is designed to offer higher brightness, especially when viewed at an angle. In addition, a high refresh rate that will allow the always-on display mode to work more smoothly will be included in this model. It is stated that this display technology is similar to the Apple Watch Series 10.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 represents a significant renewal in Apple’s wearable products category. In addition to new features not found in previous models, such as satellite communication, hardware-level improvements show that Apple will continue to strengthen its position in the smartwatch segment.
