Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgrading from a Series 5 to the Ultra 3 is a massive step forward. Honestly, more than I expected. The interface feels instantly familiar, but the added features make it feel like a completely new experience. The size is perfect for my wrist, especially paired with the Ocean Band, and the battery life is incredible. I’m easily getting two full days, sometimes three, on a single charge. Coming from the Series 5 that could barely make it through the day, this alone is a huge win. A quick note on the finish: the black coating looks great but isn’t the toughest. If you work with your hands or tend to bump into things, you might want to consider the standard titanium finish to avoid stressing over small nicks or scratches. Now for the Open Box issue. I bought the watch at $100 off in “EXCELLENT” condition, which the site describes as including all parts and accessories (with packaging being the only variable). When I picked it up, the watch actually came with all original packaging and paperwork—but the charger was missing. Kind of an important piece for a smartwatch. I tried calling the store I purchased from, since it’s not exactly close to me but you can’t reach anyone in the store directly. You get routed to a call center instead. After 10–15 minutes on hold, I was told I’d have to return the entire watch so they could “inspect everything,” then wait for another Open Box unit to be found and shipped. All of this… just for a missing charging cable that should’ve been included with an EXCELLENT-grade item. I called again hoping to reach the store but again still sent to some call center, and the second rep basically said that even if it’s labeled EXCELLENT, it still might be missing items and there’s nothing they’d do about it. Pretty wild considering their own definition says otherwise. At that point, it wasn’t worth wasting gas driving back only to be told to return the whole thing anyway, so I just ordered an OEM Apple charger off Amazon for cheap. Again, not a HUGE deal to me since I did get a great deal on it but maybe check everything before leaving the store just in case. Love the watch but the Open Box handling definitely needs some work.

If you’re into tech and you have to have a watch, then you must Have the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The longer battery life as well as being able to be out in the elements whether you’re diving or going on a crazy hike this is a reliable watch that you can count on whether you’re at work or you’re at the gym on the treadmill. With so many accessories and bands, you can get you can wear this either casually or even in a professional environment. This is by far the best smart watch out there and I love my watch.

I'd been looking at and considering an upgrade since my Apple Series 6 Nike Watch was beginning to not hold its charge and literally drain in a matter of 2-3 hours. Granted I had a good 5 year run or so with it! at first I couldn't get myself to bite $800.00 for an Ultra 3 and if i were going to purchase a new apple watch, I could've gotten the latest series 11 that is out at a fraction of the price. Except I am a "geek" if you will, If I were to get anything electronic, I would have to find the best option with the range of what I'd like to spend. Fast forward a few days and all the BF sales are being released, and to my disbelief, I noticed the Apple Watch Ultra 3 (GPS + Cellular) 49mm Titanium Case with Black Ocean Band (2025) for $120.00 off as a BestBuy Doorbuster -- I jumped on the opportunity at 11:53PM, few minutes before the cut off. Unfortunately I couldn't find my BBuy card to rack up the member perks, but I cant win 'em all, right? One benefit I really appreciated was the 24 months of Apple Care on all my products -- versus having to purchase it separately. I've only had this for 1 day but the battery life alone and the clarity of the dial is something I don't think I'd be able to downgrade from; LOL, Hope this review helps you in your purchase!

Excellent watch that has many options and functions. Looks good great style. Provides options to monitor health and fitness. Fits well and is made well. The display provides lots of information and looks good.

This is my first Apple Watch and I'm still learning about all the things it can do. About one month after I got it I had a health issue and lost consciousness and fell. My watch called the paramedics for me and got me into the ER. Now I don't want to go anywhere without it! I wasn't too happy with the band and replaced it right away.

The best aspect of the AWU is its 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. The Apple Watch is like a compass for navigating personal fitness. Having a cellular-enabled phone/wallet/text messenger on your wrist is the 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!

Only had the watch about three weeks, but so far super impressed. I upgraded from a series 6 Nike edition and am blown away by the battery life and love the larger size. Also have fallen in love with the sleep tracker. So many features I know I haven’t even discovered yet, but so far very impressed

I finally broke down and bought an Ultra 3. Even though I will not use most of the options, the larger screen, battery life, and it is noticeably faster than the Series 10 I had. Best Buy made it an easy purchase.

I upgraded from the AWU1 and the battery life on the AWU3 is AWESOME. It charges fast. From 45% to 80% in 10-15 minutes. I can easily get 2.5 days if setup correctly. VERY pleased! Cons: I want more watch faces or more customizable watch faces.

The Ultra 3 Apple Watch is the best I've owned. The health functions including BP are a tremendous help. The watch is beautiful as well.

I upgraded from an Apple Watch Series 7, and this is a welcomed upgrade. Significantly better battery life; no more charging 1-2 times a day--I can charge once every other day. I like the health functions like heart rate monitoring and look forward to making the most of what this new model has to offer.

I greatly enjoy the enhanced battery life versus the original, which I had before I upgraded. Plus it has better fitness features.

This is my first ultra watch and I love it. I only take it off to charge while I shower, other than that I wear this thing all the time. It's got a great battery life.

The new Apple watch ultra 3 is amazing and has great battery life. The functions are easy to read and access. The band is comfortable.

Its Apple. The watch is beautiful. Display is stunning. I love it. I also love the Best Buy 5% back through my Best Buy card.

Work and does Great. Do recommend! The bands are a little rubbery on your skin if it’s sensitive

Very amazing watch. Came from the very old series 3. So it was a huge upgrade. The battery length and size of the screen are phenomenal.

I love this Apple Watch more than my previous ones it has a lot of features plus a long extended battery life.

I love the size and the extra features of this watch.

I was upgrading from an apple watch SE and it is a big difference. I love the bigger screen and all the features
