The Ultra 3 has a new S10 chip that is faster and energy efficient and now also contains support for 5G and messages via satellite. Furthermore, a number of new health functions have been added and fast charging has been added. Time for an overview.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
The Apple Watch Ultra 3rd generation is equipped with new options, possibilities and adjustments in the design. The display has become slightly larger and now contains a wide -angle display. We list all the innovations for you.
Slightly larger OLED-War angle display
This time the cabinet of the Premium Apple Watch is also available in natural and black titanium. The Display of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 now has a screen resolution of 422 x 514. This is slightly larger compared to the previous Ultra models that had a size of 410 x 502.
The series 10 already had a wide-angle OLED screen and now the Ultra 3 has the same screen. The LTPO3 OLED-War angle display, with a maximum brightness of 3000 Nitsoptimizes every pixel to broadcast more light in wider corners. As a result, the screen is up to 40 percent clearer Then viewed the Ultra 2 from a corner, making it easier to read at a glance.
The wide-angle-oled screen is also more energy efficient, making a faster refresh rate possible when the Apple Watch is in the Always-on mode, from once per minute to once per second. As a result, users can now see a ticking second guide without lifting their wrist on selected dials.
S10 chip for Apple Watch
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 runs on the S10 chipbased on the same architecture as the previous generation, but with improvements for better performance and energy efficiency. This chip provides faster and smoother reactions in apps, improves the performance of Siri and makes more advanced AI functions possible, such as the Workout Buddy that can give real-time training feedback. Thanks to the S10 chip, the battery life also lasts a little longer than with previous models, which is especially beneficial with intensive use.
5G Support
The Apple Watch Ultra supports 5G connections. This means that the cellular versions can connect faster and more stable with mobile networks than previous models with 4G, without having to influence the battery life. For 5G you need a Multisim subscription. At Odidio, KPN and Vodafone you can link your data subscription to the Apple Watch with ‘Multisim’.
SOS emergency notification via satellite
With an iPhone 14 or newer and iOS 18 you can in the US and Canada Send messages via satellite In an emergency situation. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 also has a function to send messages when you are in need. For this you do not need a multisim subscription, this is the case for sending messages with friends and find my app. When this satellite function becomes available worldwide, it is still unknown.
Health functions and sensors
This year, the Cupertino company has added some new health functions to the smart watch. For example, the sleep function has been expanded with a sleep score and high blood pressure warnings. It is good to know that this function is not exclusively for the new Apple Watch. Furthermore, with this model you can also measure your oxygen saturation, create an ECG, measure your heart rate and get a warning with an unusually high, low or irregular heart rate. The Apple Watch Ultra also has an advanced depth meter and a GPS module.
Warning in abnormal blood pressure
Including Apple Watch Ultra 3 has one blood pressure function Who does not work with a traditional cuff, but uses sensors to monitor changes in blood pressure over a longer period of time. This function does not measure the exact blood pressure values ​​in real time, but detects trends and abnormalities, such as a continuous higher blood pressure, after which the user receives a warning.
This works similar to existing health reports on the Watch, such as irregular heart rate, and helps users to become aware of possible hypertension early so that they can consult a doctor. Blood pressure function is therefore an additional health monitoring tool, not to replace medical equipment. This function will be available in a later Watchos 26-Update on the Apple Watch Series 9 Or newer and Apple Watch Ultra 2 Or newer.
Sleeping score
New is the sleep score that you receive when you wear the Apple Watch at night. This score shows how well you slept with one digit. The figure is based on the sleep details of the Watch, such as the duration of the various sleeping stages: light sleep, brake sleep and deep sleep. With colors around the number you visually see how much time you spent in each phase. This function helps you to see how you slept quickly and offers insight to improve your sleeping habits. Sleep score is available in Watchos 26 for Apple Watch Series 6 or newer.
