My husband loves his new watch! He said the different widgets to choose from are now his favorites! Viewings are colorful and easy to read! He knows the latest game scores of his favorite teams, if achieving his physical activities goals, the temperature, humidity, his schedule, today’s date, and of course the time. Can easily go nearly two days without charging. The best Apple Watch he has ever had!

After years of being tired of having to charge my iWatch at the end of the day and not being able to track my sleep, I finally can with the Ultra 3. I was afraid I’d think the face was too big, but it’s actually perfect. Plus, I can still use the watch bands I bought for my other watch. I can’t recommend it enough!

The Apple Watch Ultra is great.
The material is fairly durable, i have smacked it plenty of times against a wall and it may leave marks, but it can just be wiped off.
Battery life is long; single charge can last 2 days normally, and more if used sparingly.

I love the new apple watch Ultra 3! especially in black. I have the S10 and traded in an S7 I had been using for outdoor activities. This watch is a beast and the battery life is amazing. I am able to go all day and include 1.5 hour long bike ride on cellular and barely use up a couple % of battery. I love the satellite connectivity and new 5G capabilities. Def bigger and chunkier than my S10 but less so than I had expected.

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Ultra 3 every day, and it’s easily my favorite gadget I own. The battery life is the biggest win for me – I can go about two days with mixed use (work, workouts, and sleep tracking) without stressing about charging. The big, bright screen is super easy to read outdoors, and the titanium build feels tough enough that I don’t have to baby it at the gym, at work, or in bad weather.
Day to day, the stuff I actually use all the time is what makes it worth it: notifications and quick replies so I don’t always grab my phone, fitness tracking with accurate GPS for walks and workouts, timers and alarms with silent haptics, Apple Pay on the wrist, and easy music control with my AirPods. Add in the safety features like fall/crash detection and Emergency SOS, and it feels like a serious tool, not just a toy. For my lifestyle, the Ultra 3 is absolutely worth it.

I absolutely love my black ceramic apple watch! I have a more difficult time seeing and had to upgrade from a 45 to 49, which helps my eyes tremendously. And it looks awesome. Keeps me organized with my meetings and is great to help always find my phone. That is the best invention ever created! Thank you, Apple for makijg life easier to manage.

I am absolutely in love with this watch. I upgraded from my series 9. My husband also got one and updated from his original SE! The walkie talkie feature is a life saver for us. Busy lives with him working all the time and me taking care of the kids! It’s so much more premium feeling than my 9 was. Larger & brighter screen makes things easier too! Price was obviously a big hesitation for us. But this watch will work for years to come so it is worth the investment!!

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the best all-around smartwatch for active iPhone users, excelling as a rugged everyday companion rather than just a niche sports watch. It delivers exceptionally accurate health and fitness tracking, particularly with new features like the dedicated Vitals app, which monitors overnight heart rate, respiratory rate, and wrist temperature for a holistic daily health status. For workouts, the device utilizes precision dual-frequency GPS, advanced running metrics (like vertical oscillation and training load), and a customizable Action button, making it a powerful tool for diverse activities including hiking and diving. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 shines in fitness tools with robust smart features, longer battery life (up to 42 hours normal use), satellite connectivity for off-grid safety, and a larger, brighter display, solidifying its position as an outstanding, do-everything wearable.

This is my first smart watch and I must say I’m impressed. The battery lasts days and charges up incredibly fast. The screen is clear and visible. The watch over all seems to be constructed very well. So far I’ve had zero issues. It has been a nice addition to my edc.

My new Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the perfect upgrade from my trusty Apple Watch Ultra 1. Larger screen, love the new black color, brighter screen, faster processor, adds new features to health in WatchOS 26 that I did not have on my Apple Watch Ultra 1.

I recently purchased the Apple Watch Ultra and couldn’t be happier with both the product and the buying experience. The salesperson was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. They walked me through all the features and benefits, making it clear why this watch was the perfect fit for my lifestyle.
What really stood out was the optional financing promotion, which made the purchase even more accessible. The entire process felt smooth, transparent, and tailored to my needs.
Highly recommend both the Apple Watch Ultra and the team that helped me make the decision. Great product, even better service!

Treated myself for my birthday to my first smart watch, and I absolutely love this thing. Also got an iPhone 17, and they work great together. It took me a long time to finally pull the trigger, but it was worth the wait. The battery life is very good, and I really like all of the health features that it offers.

I held off on adapting to an Apple Watch. I always figured “Hey, I have my phone…don’t need one”. Until the Ultra 3… This watch is helping me on my journey to better health. I love the sleep tracking and monitoring my activity. I also love knowing that I can leave the phone at home when I walk and hike and still enjoy my music. It even saved me the other day when I left my phone at home and needed to ship something from the post office. Was able to pull up the address and didn’t have to drive back home. I’m sure there are other ways this will help me, but I’m still in the discovery mode.

My favorite watch of all times this thing is crazy.
