All the Apple Watch Ultra 3 Changes: More Battery Life, Satellite Texting, 5G and More

After having published minimum updates in the past two years, Apple has announced during its major autumn event The New Apple Watch Ultra 3, which adds a brighter and larger display, 5G cell communication, satellite connectivity, an increase in the battery life of up to 42 hours and the possibility of detecting if you could suffer from hypertension.

New features of the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
The size of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 screen is back at the top
The brilliant screen of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is now slightly larger than its predecessor, with a resolution of 422×514 pixels (up to the 410×502 pixels of the Ultra 2), although the case itself has not developed. Instead, Apple reduced the telescope to bring the active edge closer to the frame screen.
Speaking of the framework, it is now created using a 3D printing process which uses a 100% recycled titanium and half of the quantity of raw materials as a previous generations.

The screen is also better than ultra 2, with a LPTO3 OLED retina screen always on which has the same faster refresh rate introduced with the 10 series. The brightness of the screen during visualization from an angle has also improved, according to Apple.
The glasses around the Apple Watch Ultra 3 screen are smaller than ever.
Even more battery life
The Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 boasted of a much longer battery endurance than the regular watch, thanks to their physically larger batteries: approximately 36 hours of regular use, or 72 hours with a low power mode.
With the Apple Watch Ultra 3, you could forget the last time you put it on its charger. Its larger battery and its battery life improves up to 42 hours on a load. Continuous training can extend at 20 hours in low power mode while retaining complete GPs and heart rate readings.
The Ultra 3 also joins the 10 series and the series 11 by offering a quick charge. Apple claims that 45 minutes of load will get the watch up to 80%, or 75 minutes to reach 100%. Since most people are probably not going to pass the watch to zero, a more realistic circumstance is to be able to raise it on a charger for only 15 minutes and gain 12 hours of autonomy.
Apple says that a certain number of factors contribute to improving the battery life in the Ultra 3: the more efficient display, the larger battery and the redesigned radios for 5 g cell and satellite communications. We also expected a new processor, but above all, the Ultra 3 is powered by the same S10 chip which executes the Apple Watch 11 series and the 10 series.

Connect to satellite services, even without iPhone
Most smart phones and watches are designed in the hope that they work in areas where cellular or Wi-Fi networks are easily available. The Apple Watch ultra almost expect You lose yourself, with this larger battery and the monitoring of the double GPS location. But if something unhappy happens while you are far from everything, you always want to be able to report help or keep friends alerted for you.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 now offers satellite SOS capabilities.
Ultra 3 now includes satellite communication on Disvise, which means that as long as the watch has a view of the sky, it can connect to satellites. In most situations, you would also have an iPhone compatible with satellite with you, but it is not useful if the telephone battery is drained. Apple says he has redesigned the radios and the antenna to double the signal force.
As for the iPhone, SOS emergency via satellite is free for two years, although Apple has not announced any price for the service since its launch. Text messaging and the search for my services via satellite are also available as long as you have an active cell plan.
As for cellular connections, all Apple Watch ultra configurations include cell capabilities, and now Ultra 3 is able to connect to 5G networks. It uses REDCAP 5G technology (for “reduced” capacity), which offers 5G access but without the supply requirements that a device such as iPhone can manage easily.
Health and fitness characteristics at the forefront
As for the Apple Watch Series 11, the Ultra 3 also searches for possible hypertension, or high blood pressure, based on the readings that are needed during a month. The characteristic of hypertension detection has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration the day after its ad, and it will be available in 150 countries and regions this month.
This is added to the existing measurement of heart rate and ECG, as well as the capacity to detect blood oxygen rates, a characteristic which has been temporarily blocked in the United States due to the dispute (although Apple recently developed a bypass).
Apple has also announced that the Sleep application would include new education feature to help users follow and adjust sleep more easily.

When Apple announced Watchos 26 and iOS 26, he introduced Buddy training, a virtual companion that provides statistics and encouragement while you train, as on a bicycle ride, a race or a walk. (Hand Vanessa de Cnet, Orellana, obtained the details of the Apple team.
Other health and training characteristics take place from Ultra 2, such as water resistance to 100m and 40m scuba diving, IP6X dust resistance and durability in extreme temperature and altitude environments. It includes Dual GPS radios (L1 and L5) for monitoring the more precise location and an orientation path.
