    The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is excellent in every way. The build quality feels very premium, the display is large and super bright even under direct sunlight, and the battery life easily lasts me more than two days. Charging is very fast, and the health and fitness tracking features are accurate and reliable. It is comfortable to wear all day and the design looks great. Definitely worth the upgrade and highly recommended!

    Upgraded from the original Apple Watch Ultra, and could not be happier. The durability is unmatched. After nearly three years with my original Ultra, it still looks as good as day one. I am a lineman, and also work on cars, so this thing gets banged up constantly, and you can’t tell. Battery life on the AWU3 is excellent, I wear it on my wrist from 6a-10p and still have 85% battery life remaining.

    Waited for the 3rd generation Ultra. Worth it! Never buy a 1st gen always :) Impressive battery life, 6 days at low power mode. Screen is so bright, bigger display, perfect size. GPS, compass, altimeter and barometric functions are top notch and underwater functions for divers too. Just wow!

    A Great Leap in Power, Battery & Everything else!

    Upgrading from the Apple Watch Series 6 to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 has been a genuinely impressive experience. The first thing that stands out is the battery life—it’s a massive improvement and finally removes the constant need to think about charging, even with heavy daily use. The larger, brighter display makes a real difference in everyday usability. Everything from notifications to workouts feels easier to read and interact with, especially outdoors. Performance-wise, the Ultra 3 feels noticeably faster and smoother, with apps launching quicker and overall navigation feeling more refined and responsive. Compared to my outgoing Series 6, the Ultra 3 feels like a true upgrade rather than an incremental one. The combination of better battery life, bigger screen, and improved overall performance makes it a solid choice for anyone looking to move up from an older Apple Watch. Highly recommended if you want a more capable, durable, and hassle-free smartwatch experience.

    The best thing about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the battery life. This alone makes it worth it over other models. Not having a percentage of your brain constantly checking to see if you need to charge is so liberating! Shortcuts and automations take Apple Watch to the next level. I use them to control the lights in my house and set different watch faces for different times of day. Health metrics tracking. It’s 2025, there’s enough science out there about health that if you’re not actively taking care of your body, you’re digging yourself an early and uncomfortable grave. It’s truly life changing to get fit. Apple Watch is like a compass to navigate personal fitness. Having a cellular enabled phone/wallet/text messenger on your wrist is stuff of the future and worth it even if you only use it a few times a year. I use it primarily for runs and leaving my phone behind when I go to the gym. Feels so nice to not be tethered to my phone!

    The Absolute Best Apple Watch

    When it comes to the Apple Watch, I have been on board from the very first edition. I have owned the 1, 3, 6, 9, and now the Ultra 3. The Ultra is the most refined and premium watch I have ever owned. It does everything it claims and gets noticed. If the size has you concerned, it is no larger than my series 9. It is thicker and heavier, but you get used to that. I also purchased on a pre-black Friday sale and saved $120, traded in my old watch for $110, so it was a no brainer to upgrade. I really love this watch and you will too.

    From series 6 to ultra 3–Totally worth the upgrade

    I upgraded from my Apple Watch Series 6 to the Ultra 3, and the difference has been huge in day‑to‑day use. At first the Ultra felt a bit heavy on my wrist, but after a couple of days I got used to it and now it feels completely normal. The screen is brighter, the battery easily lasts me a couple of days, and the GPS and fitness tracking are noticeably more accurate than what I had before. It’s been a solid upgrade overall, and even with the bigger size, I’m really happy with the switch.

    Not much difference in battery with the series 10. But love the size on my big hands. The icing on the cake was the 0% financing for 24 months. Thanks Best Buy

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch Ultra 3 daily and it feels like a true premium device. The build quality is outstanding, the titanium case feels solid, and the display is extremely bright and easy to read even outdoors. Battery life is noticeably better than standard Apple Watches, which makes a big difference for everyday use. Health and fitness tracking is very accurate, and GPS performance has been excellent. Setup was fast, and everything works smoothly within the Apple ecosystem. It’s not cheap, but if you want the best Apple Watch experience, this one delivers.

    What’s your philosophy on quality?

    Have had Apple MacBook’s since 2013 and IPhones for about the same time and this is my first Apple Watch. All I can say is I love how Apple makes their products seamless with how they interface with each other. They just do it right! The quality is second to none. I love how I have safety with me even if I leave my phone behind and the overall features leaves the competition way behind. If you’re considering an Apple product just remember one thing… …”What’s your philosophy on quality”?

    From an Ultra 1 to an Ultra 3

    I traded in my Apple ultra watch 1 for the 3 at launch and can say I’m definitely happy with the decision. You notice the difference with the connectivity, the battery, when you’re out running and listening to music. Having the extra storage is nice for music/apps/pictures as well. For anyone that has an apple ultra watch one and is thinking of switching to Garmin I would say maybe try the 3. With my trade in and the promotional sale it definitely made it worth it to upgrade.
