Apple Watch Ultra 3 Launches with Satellite SOS and Next-Level Health Tracking
Apple has officially introduced the Apple Watch Ultra 3, its most advanced smartwatch to date, combining health, fitness, safety, and connectivity in one powerful device. This new model can seamlessly switch between a sports watch, a smart assistant, and a health tracker. One of its headline features is built-in two-way satellite communication, allowing users to send emergency messages, stay in touch with friends or family, and share locations even in areas with no signal coverage.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 features the largest display ever on an Apple Watch, using LTPO3 and wide-angle OLED technology for enhanced readability from any angle. Its bezel is 24% thinner without increasing the case size, creating a sleek design while maintaining durability. Battery life extends up to 42 hours in standard use and an impressive 72 hours in Low Power Mode, with 5G connectivity for faster performance and the most accurate GPS Apple has ever placed in a sports watch.
On the health front, the Ultra 3 introduces new hypertension alerts by leveraging its optical heart sensor to analyze passive data over a 30-day cycle, notifying users to adjust their lifestyle or consult a doctor. It also brings the new sleep score system in watchOS 26, measuring rest quality across duration, regularity, and consistency.
For fitness enthusiasts, Workout Buddy powered by Apple Intelligence provides real-time spoken coaching and recommendations based on workout data such as Training Load for runners, Offline Maps for hikers, and advanced support for divers with Oceanic+ up to 40 meters deep. Safety remains at the core with Emergency SOS via satellite, which can automatically transmit data during severe incidents.
watchOS 26 enhances the experience further with features like the new Waypoint watch face, gesture control with wrist flicks to dismiss notifications, and live translation for seamless cross-language communication. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 comes in natural and black titanium finishes, starting at 29,900 THB, available for pre-order today and officially launching on September 19 across more than 50 countries including SEA. New bands such as the Trail Loop with reflective threads are also part of the lineup.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 redefines what a smartwatch can be, blending performance, style, and safety in ways that elevate it far beyond a standard wearable. With satellite connectivity and next-gen health tracking, it positions itself as not just an accessory but a trusted companion for everyday life and extreme adventures.
