The information is scarce because the Cupertino giant hasn’t prioritized its Apple Watch Ultra 3… for the moment. This is set to change as the summer slowly rolls past us (here in the Northern Hemisphere, at least).
According to the information, this should result in a new Apple S10 chip, but otherwise the smart timepiece is to inherit the rest of its hardware specifications from the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
That means we’re about to get a very potent Apple Watch Ultra 3: a massive 1.92-inch OLED touchscreen display that offers 3,000 nits of brightness, a customizable Action Button and double tap gesture cleverness, plus a bunch of sensors and premium features.
Let’s delve deeper!

Until the day comes, everything date-related (and specs-related, too) is a speculation, but chances are pretty good that this is exactly how it’s going to be.
Device family | Announcement | Market release |
---|---|---|
Apple Watch Ultra | September 7, 2022 | September 23, 2022 |
Apple Watch Ultra 2 | September 12, 2023 | September 22, 2023 |
Apple Watch Ultra 3 | September, 2024* | September/October, 2024* |
*Expected dates
Not to jinx it, but so far, the rumors about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 do not mention anything about the price going up in comparison to the starting price of its predecessor(s). This equates to $799 – not an easy sum to swallow (heck, there are flagships that cost less than $799!), but you’re getting a lot of goodness for the price.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 rumor from months ago – the one that said a $1,500 with MicroLED is coming in 2025 – is at this point off the table.
Apple Watch model | Price |
---|---|
Apple Watch Ultra | $799 |
Apple Watch Ultra 2 | $799 |
Apple Watch Ultra 3* | $799* |

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 could be water-resistant up to 100 meters (10ATM), making it suitable for recreational divers.
The third generation, like the second – and the first, by the way – is to be available only in a single 49mm size, which is larger than a regular Apple Watch and fits best on larger wrists.
However, you can’t manually set the brightness to 3,000 nits. The feature activates automatically in strong ambient light, enhancing visibility based on your surroundings, even if you’ve set the brightness lower. That’s the way to do it on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will retain the same 564mAh battery found in the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This battery capacity, slightly larger than the 542mAh battery in the first-generation model, ensures that the watch maintains its impressive battery life.
Charging the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be consistent with the Ultra 2, or so it appears.
It will take around 90 minutes for a full charge, but users can achieve an 80% charge in about an hour, making it convenient for everyday use. This means you can charge the watch every other day without worrying about running out of power. Nice!

Training Load exertion ranking: Assesses effort based on heart rate, elevation, pace, and physical traits, providing a 10-point effort score to help athletes optimize their training.
Vitals following app: Tracks health metrics like sleep and heart rate, offering weekly reports and alerts for abnormal data.
New SmartStack predictions: Enhances app suggestions and user experience.
Check-in feature for friends: Allows users to stay connected by sharing status updates.
Dynamic Watch faces: Automatically selects watch faces from user photos.
Although the Watch Ultra 3 is expected to inherit almost all of its hardware from its predecessor(s), the next-gen flagship smartwatch is set to be different by packing Apple’s yet unreleased (and unannounced) next-gen S10 chipset.
Other than that, the two watches are to be identical with the information available so far.
Nothing is clear at the moment, but if the rumors turn out to be true and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is a slightly better variant of the Ultra 2, then it’s fair to say that if you already own the second Apple Watch Ultra, there’s no need to upgrade to the third generation. While the new chipset could mean a slightly better overall experience, this doesn’t make a compelling case for upgrading.
However, if you’re looking to upgrade from an older Apple Watch in late 2024, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is an excellent introduction to the top-tier Apple Watch lineup.
