With A Focus On Health And Connectivity, The New Apple Smartwatch Will Have High Blood Pressure Detection, 5G And Satellite Messaging Without Relying On The iPhone.
According to journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg News, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is close to being launched and its main new features have already been revealed. After nearly two years without updates in the line, the new generation of Apple’s most robust watch is expected to arrive with significant improvements in health and, mainly, connectivity, making it an even more independent device from the iPhone.
The expectation is that the new smartwatch will be officially presented in September, along with the iPhone 17 line. The news focuses on three main areas: a new sensor to monitor blood pressure, the ability to send messages via satellite, and the introduction of 5G connectivity.
The Great News In Health: High Blood Pressure Detection
The main advance of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in the health area will be a sensor capable of identifying warning signs of hypertension. According to leaks, the feature will not function as a traditional blood pressure monitor, which provides the numbers for systolic and diastolic pressure. Instead, the watch will monitor the user in the background and will issue alerts if it detects a trend of high blood pressure, recommending that the person see a doctor for more accurate measurements.

Samsung has already introduced a similar feature in its Galaxy Watch 7, and Apple seems to have studied the precision challenges to enhance the technology. However, the much-anticipated glucose sensor is still under development and is not expected to arrive in this generation.
Enhanced Connectivity, 5G And Satellite Messaging
The independence from the iPhone will be the main focus of the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The watch will have the ability to send messages via satellite in emergency situations, even without cellular coverage or without the smartphone nearby.
Additionally, the new model will receive a connectivity upgrade with the introduction of 5G Redcap. This is a version of 5G optimized for wearables, which, although not as fast as that of an iPhone, is superior to the current 4G LTE and consumes less energy. The modem will be supplied by MediaTek, replacing the old Intel chipset.
The September Launch And The Other Apple Watch Lines
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will not arrive alone. Apple is expected to reveal the new watch at its traditional September event, alongside the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch SE 3.
The big question is whether the new features of the Ultra will be shared with the other models. The expectation is that the Apple Watch SE 3, being an entry-level model, will not receive the new features. However, the Series 11 has a chance of inheriting the blood pressure detection sensor, but this has not yet been confirmed.
What To Expect From The Apple Watch Ultra 3 After Two Years?
After a hiatus of nearly two years, the arrival of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is eagerly awaited with great expectation. The leaked improvements indicate a clear focus from Apple on turning the watch into an even more powerful tool for athletes, adventurers, and those seeking proactive health monitoring. The greater independence from the iPhone, with 5G and satellite communication, reinforces its positioning as the most complete and robust smartwatch from the brand.
