With the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple will take the next step in the development of its most robust smartwatch series in September 2025. While barely changed visually, the new model nevertheless features several technical upgrades that could be crucial for certain user groups. In a direct comparison to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, the differences are primarily evident in the display, battery life, and connectivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its launch, the Apple Watch Ultra has been aimed at people seeking a particularly durable, powerful, and functional wearable. These include outdoor athletes, frequent travelers, and users with specific requirements for robustness and battery life. After the 2024 model only offered a new color option, a true update follows in 2025 with the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The basic design remains the same, but Apple is focusing on specific technical improvements that are relevant depending on the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing, materials and weight<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The case design remains virtually identical for the new model. Titanium is still used \u2013 but now for the first time, using a 3D printing process that, according to Apple, requires significantly less raw material. The dimensions remain the same: 49 mm x 44 mm x 12 mm. The front and back are made of ceramic and sapphire crystal. The weight differs minimally. The Ultra 2 weighs 61.4 grams (natural) and 61.8 grams (black), while the Ultra 3 weighs 61.6 grams (natural) and 61.8 grams (black). This means there's no noticeable difference in practice. Protection standards also remain the same: water resistance to 100 meters, IP6X dust protection, and MIL-STD 810H certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Display and screen technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Things get significantly more interesting with the display. While the case size remains at 49 mm, Apple has enlarged the actual display. The Ultra 2 offers 1,185 mm\u00b2 of display space with a resolution of 410 \u00d7 502 pixels. The Ultra 3's display area grows to 1,245 mm\u00b2 with 422 \u00d7 514 pixels\u2014the largest display in the Apple Watch lineup to date. This is achieved through thinner display bezels and the new LTPO3 OLED technology. This brings greater energy efficiency and an improved always-on mode. The viewing angle is also wider. This makes content easier to see, even from the side\u2014a detail that is especially noticeable in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processor and internal technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the new S10 SiP. It replaces the S9 chip in the Ultra 2. In terms of performance, the difference isn't immediately noticeable, as a smartwatch is less about processing power than energy efficiency and enhanced features. The S10 takes up less space, which improves the internal structure and creates room for optimization. Both models feature 64 GB of storage and a second-generation W3 chip with ultra-wideband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensors and health functions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are no differences between the Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 in terms of sensors. Both smartwatches feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
