Watch Ultra 3

I came from the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and its battery was already down to 84%. During my second-to-last marathon, the battery actually died mid-race, and on my last marathon I had to turn off AOD — even then, the battery was down to just 55% by the end.

With the Ultra 3, after a ~3:40 marathon (it w

So the only new features are satellite connectivity and 5G capabilities? Guess I'm holding onto my AWU1 longer!

I had it in Low Power Mode, starting at 85% and ending at 70%. Pretty happy with that! Total distance was almost dead on with my bike computer. At that rate, it would last about 22 hours, which is awesome for me as I am planning on running a bunch of ultras this year.

I finally bought the Apple Watch Ultra 3 today. Super excited to try it out! Looks amazing and feels premium. Anyone else here got it too? What do you think so far?

I’ve been using the Ultra 3 for about a week now, mainly for running (1–2 hours a day, roughly 10h/week, 120km/week) plus strength training or yoga for about an hour daily. I’m very routine-driven: I work from home, never travel much, always home by 6PM, runs in the morning, workouts in the afternoo

Quick story:

Have had an Apple Watch Series 6 for a long time (battery lasted less than a day). Decided to upgrade to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 - The battery lasted less than 48 hours (I’m aware that it’s reported at 42). By design, it’s a decent watch, but the battery life is laughable. It’s a joke.

So I went down a rabbit hole last night because I was bored and started wondering: “How much faster is my Apple Watch Ultra 3 compared to my old iPhone 4s?”

Here’s what I found:

🧩 CPU Battle (2011 vs 2025): • iPhone 4s: Dual-core A5 chip, 32-bit, 800 MHz, 45 nm process. • Ultra 3: Dual-core S10

Last Sunday I did a 3h20m ride with AWU3 and was impressed with the battery life. Today it was time to take WorkOutDoors out into the trails and see how the watch fared.

I’m quite impressed, actually! The watch used 18% of its charge in 2h10m active time with WOD and AOD. The last 9 miles were with

I’m torn between the Natural Titanium and Black Titanium Ultra 3.

The Natural looks super clean and classy, but I’m not sure it’ll match my gold jewelry since I usually wear warmer tones. The Black just looks really sleek and modern and honestly might go better with my everyday outfits.
