Customer Ratings & Reviews

Here’s your super punchy “elevator pitch” version — short, sharp, and impactful so it grabs attention fast: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is hands down the best smartwatch I’ve ever owned. The display is stunning in any light, the battery lasts far longer than expected, and the fitness tracking is both accurate and genuinely useful. It’s rugged yet stylish, equally perfect for workouts, adventures, or the office. If you’re considering an upgrade, this is the one to get — Apple has set the new benchmark.

Pros - Battery life is finally “don’t panic” good – getting a solid couple of days with normal use feels easy instead of like a science project. - The thing is a tank: titanium body, big bright screen, loud speaker and serious water resistance, so it feels like a real adventure watch, not a fragile gadget. - Fitness and health tracking are super solid, with very accurate GPS and heart rate for running and cycling, and sleep tracking that’s actually useful instead of just “you slept.” - Works ridiculously well with an iPhone and the rest of the Apple stuff, so it just melts into your daily routine instead of feeling like another device to babysit. Cons - If you already have an Ultra 2, this feels more like an “S” upgrade: nicer battery and small tweaks, but nothing that screams “must upgrade right now.” - It’s big and chunky; great for readability, but on smaller wrists it can look and feel like you strapped a mini phone to your arm. - The price is steep, and for a lot of people a cheaper Apple Watch gives you 80–90% of the experience for way less money. - It’s completely locked into the Apple world, so if you ever bail to Android, this instantly becomes an expensive paperweight.

Amazing little device much better than the original ultra watch. Me personally I like the look of the black titanium. Apple should have originally released 2 versions of the Ultra one natural titanium and one black titanium.

Everything you would expect and more. Great looks and features. On the pricey side but I love the way it integrates with my other Apple products. Very happy with my purchase.

In the past ive had a series 3 and 6 bur ive never been so satisfied like how i am with the ultra series. I mainly got it for extended battery life and range of features and i have yet to be disappointed. I also thought the size of the watch may be too much in the beginning but it is perfect. The 42 hour battery life is very much an understatement as i find mine lasting 55+. The size of the screen is also very useful for when you’re working out and need to interact with your watch. Overall a great buy

Well built and very tough. Great for anyone who works outside and likes a watch that can make it through the long hours without dying.

Though I’ve had the ultra 2, I have to say that this one works smoothly and my fitness tracking has been more accurate.

This smartwatch has exceeded all my expectations. The one thing I do love about Apple is there synchronization between the phone and the smartwatch and I think they do this flawlessly. The color is great along with band which is reflective. I hope the magic of how its making me feel last for years to come. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for solid smartch watch for sports.

In store customer service was great, ordered the watch and picked it up 10 minutes later. The charge lasts so much longer than my husband’s old watch and the display is massive which he loves. New features come in handy, definitely worth the price. You will need to get new watch bands as both options you can choose from aren’t the best but we got a new watch band for a good price and love it.

My first ultra 3 watch l like the large screen you can see all your messages and apps. Plus much better sound quality for music

Calling all runners. Apple Watch Ultra 3 has everything you need to train smarter and reach your personal best. Powerful features like precision dual-frequency GPS, advanced metrics, Custom Workouts, and new Workout Buddy help you ace your pace. And now when you’re out on a run with just your Ultra 3, you can rely on speedy 5G

The quality of the sensors for exercising is top-notch; I highly recommend them.

Don’t like the band.It's not like it looks in the photo

I've been very impressed with the Ultra 3. Battery life is amazing lasting two full days before needing to be recharged. It's definitely heavier compared to my Apple Watch Series 5 as well. It's very stylish (except for the band) and I love all the features. As for the Trail Loop band, it's kind of chintzy looking if I'm being honest. Yes, I know I'm not buying the Ultra 3 to look like a formal dinner watch but it definitely looks cheap for a $750+ watch. Very comfortable and easy to take off/put on. I'll probably find another band to replace it eventually though.

My first apple watch was I think a series 4, standard non cellular. I saw the benefits of a cellular option when I got the series 5, and kept cellular when I upgraded that to a series 8. My biggest issue has always been battery life, which is why I never upgraded to the 9 or 10. But with the slight battery boost in the series 11 I was willing to put out the money. Then I checked the details on the Ultra 3, and saw an even better battery life claim. So I spent the extra and went this route. I was a bit nervous, some people complaining about the size and weight. I have not noticed any issues. Some people said they couldn't sleep with it on. No issues, even when I'm on my side with my hands under my cheek. I don't really notice any weight difference in my daily life. So the two biggest things people seem to not like just didn't even exist for me. Screen - AMAZING compared to my 8. I love the fact that this one I can have as always on, and even when dimmed at the low refresh rate, I can read it just fine at the most severe angle. Accuracy of sensors - seems to be spot on compared to my other devices. The fact that I can't just push the button to get blood O2 isn't a huge deal since now you can get it from the app instead. Steps are consistent which is what I check most anyway. Battery. Now, THIS is what we're here for, and why I purchased it. I keep the screen always on, wear it all day and all night and my testing got me to 59 hours with still 11% battery left. At the rate of use, I should've hit about 65 or 66 hours had I run it down. But I had to go to a client the following morning and wouldn't have had time to charge it before I left. So battery use - absolutely mindboggling... The band it comes with I tossed. I had a few I loved with my series 8 that fit this fine, so that's what I'm using. Cellular has been great, and I haven't been off the grid to try out the satellite messaging, but I like that there's that option since I sometimes DO get in areas without cellular coverage... There isn't a single thing about this that I haven't loved yet. For me, it was worth every penny.

I had a series 2 Apple Watch and then went away from wearing one until buying this and I must say, the battery life and bigger screen is a total game changer on their own but the durability of this thing is even better. I have banged it into tons of things accidentally and so far there is no damage.

I have come from an Apple Watch series 7, to be honest I was starting to become certain that Apple watches were not for me. I would have to plan my day and workouts around when I could charge my watch, and using extra features would drain it faster, so I turned a lot of them off. The battery life really killed the product for me, but on a whim I decided to give the ecosystem one more try with the touted battery improvements and personal life re-focusing on fitness and outdoor recreation. I’m glad I did, the battery does last quite a long time or even if I forget to charge it overnight, I still feel like I can go the entire next day along with a full workout using GPS and get to the end of the next day with no issue whatsoever. I’ve been playing more with features. I never even considered like the walkie-talkie feature, always on display, and having a ton of complications on my watch face. It all works well, and charging it while I take a shower and get ready in the morning may not get it to 100% but it certainly will get me to something like 75 or 80 and that will carry me through an extremely heavy day of working out have another day to spare. It’s not on the level of battery life of something like a Garmin, but it makes the watch completely usable in the way where you don’t have to plan strategically when you have access to a charger which was always the case with my series 7. My only two grips are, it’s big. It takes a while to get used to it. I did get used to it, I’m not a small person, but I’m also not particularly large, I would say I have a very medium sized wrist and I definitely feel like I am managing well and not thinking about the watch constantly. I’d say that first day and a half I was a bit worried about how it felt, but, not a problem at all now! At night, someone gave me the tip of swapping into your other wrist to give the skin on your primary wrist, a bit of a break and let it breathe. I’d say the first night that felt a little off because about used to having anything on that wrist but, I totally get what they mean now if I leave it on that same wrist every day it gets a little sweaty and uncomfortable in that spot. Everyone’s a little different, but that definitely helped me make sure I keep it on 24 seven! And like I said, it took a night for me to wrap my head around it, but it totally worked out for me. Overall, extremely happy with this purchase, and I’m excited to see where the range goes as far as battery life in the future. I almost forgot to say, I do a lot of cycling, and I do it on the outskirts of cities on gravel roads, the fact that both my phone and my watch can act as satellite communicators. Should I have a big crash on one of them gets destroyed is excellent piece of mind! I’ve just reached middle age, you can’t just assume you’ll be able to wipe out and actually get back up, so this makes me feel a bit more free to enjoy things and know that, should I need the help, it’ll be there!

I’ve had a few Apple Watch and usually upgrade every few years and this year I decided to jump to the ultra and although bigger overall it is way more than what I experienced with the standard watch. Battery life is amazing and the screen is brighter. I like the cellular option too.

Haven’t upgraded Apple Watches in a few years and honestly didn’t realize what I was missing. The extra battery life is definitely appreciated due to the fact that my series 7 battery would drain on a long cycling adventure (5 hours +). So I would use my Garmin cycling computer but Garmin has always had issues uploading periodically and that is a frustration I do not need. A friend has an Ultra 2 and we recently rode a 7.5 hour 100 mile ride and his battery was going strong afterwards so that was the last bit of convincing I needed. Two weeks ago I participated in a mountain bike race and a few minutes in after an aggressive start I knew something wasn’t quite right. I finished the race and remembered the ECG app and I did a test and I was in atrial fibrillation. Needless to say it was a trip to the ER as I’ve never had AFIB before. Apple is an innovator in health and fitness and I have tried to convince my ride buddies into making the switch from Garmin to Apple and leave all the Garmin headaches behind. Awesome product and I can’t recommend enough!!

Going from Apple Watch Ultra 1 to the 3 has been a fantastic experience. I didn’t feel that the 2 was enough of an upgrade and waited. I am getting 4 days of battery life with the 3, but I do not use the always on screen. Loving the extra battery life, the satellite connectivity is a big plus, and love the new faces.
