Apple Watch Ultra 3 rumors: Everything we know so far
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on the horizon. Apple officially announced that its next big event is on Sept. 9. Of course, we're expecting the new iPhone 16 series, but what typically comes alongside Apple's next-gen smartphones are new Apple Watch models.
In addition to the Apple Watch Series 10, we're on the lookout for the Apple Watch Ultra 3. As the big event nears, we're already seeing some rumors about the next-gen Apple Watch Ultra. Here are all the credible leaks you need to know about.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely be the most premium Apple Watch model you can get. The Ultra variant is known for delivering better battery life, a brighter screen, and more options for high-performance athletes. It's larger, too.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 release date
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to get unveiled during the Sept. 9 "Glowtime" event.
Based on this reveal date, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely hit store shelves on Sept. 20.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 price
I've been keeping an eye on the rumor mill, and as it stands now, there haven't been any credible details that have leaked regarding the Apple Watch Ultra 3's price.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 design
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a reliable Apple leaker and respected analyst, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will notget any significant hardware upgrades. As such, it's likely Apple will rely on a host of new software upgrades to make the Apple Watch Ultra 3 more appealing.
The Apple Watch Ultra is relatively nascent (it launched in 2022), so the Cupertino-based tech giant likely isn't ready to give it a major design overhaul just yet. For now, Gurman says the main hardware upgrade that the third-generation Apple Watch is getting is a new chip.
This is a departure from what we're hearing about the Apple Watch Series 10 models, which are reportedly getting bigger screens, according to Gurman.
As such, expect the Apple Watch Ultra 3 to maintain the same specs, more or less, as its predecessor:
49mm case size
Titanium chassis
Always-on display with up to 3,000 nits of brightness
Interestingly, rumor has it that Apple planned on releasing an Apple Watch Ultra model with a microLED display that would set consumers back $1,500. However, this has reportedly been delayed to 2027.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 health features and sensors
Apple has reportedly been working on adding three new health features to the Apple Watch:
Blood-pressure monitor
Sleep apnea sensor
Glucose monitor
However, there has been scuttlebutt that Apple has been running into issues with the blood-pressure monitor in particular, especially for the Watch Series 10 design. And independent of the watches, the blood pressure sensor has been too unreliable during testing, according to Gurman.
It's unclear whether Apple will skip the blood pressure feature for the Apple Watch Series 10 and add it to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 — or ditch it altogether.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 battery life
If the rumor about Apple delaying the microLED display until 2027 is true, then the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may not get the battery life boost many were crossing their fingers for.
Credit: Apple / Mashable photo compositeAs it stands now, Apple claims that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 delivers up to 36 hours of battery life. If the specs remain unchanged, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may have the same runtime.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Will it be worth the upgrade?
"If you spent $799 on an Apple Watch Ultra last year, it's unlikely you'll want to spring for this version," Gurman said.
In conclusion, based on the rumors and leaks, it looks like the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will just be an iterative update.
The rumor mill says there won't be any major hardware upgrades, but hey, you never know what the Cupertino-based tech giant may have up its sleeves when it announces the Apple Watch Ultra 3 on Sept. 9.
