September has always been Apple's stage in the tech world. Each year, global attention converges on its keynote event-and this year is no different. Alongside the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series, another heavyweight "star" is about to debut: the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This time, it's not just a watch—it's a statement about the future. Blending sport with technology, redefining health and connectivity, it becomes yet another bridge between humanity and the digital world.

If the Apple Watch Series represents the "exerydax,” then the Ultra series is about the |"extreme." It's bulkier, tougher, and built for outdoor explorers, professional athletes, and those in harsh environments. From deep-sea dives to snowy peaks to long-distance trails, Ultra is Apple's answer. And now, the third-generation Ultra not only continues that "hardcore" DNA but also subtly evolves. It's not just "another big watch"—it's smarter, more refined, and more aligned with real user needs.

At the heart of any smartwatch is its chip. The Ultra 3 will feature the all-new Sil processor. While some say it won't differ much in performance from last year's S10 in the Series 10, Apple chips have long been synonymous with reliability. It may not feel "computer-fast," but in energy efficiency, stability, and daily smoothness, it still sits at the top of the industry. More importantly, the new chip is rumoured to be smaller, freeing up internal space for a bigger battery, new sensors, or even future features yet to come.

Another highlight of the Ultra 3 is its larger display. Leaks suggest slimmer bezels all around, with about 12 more pixels per side, making it the largest Apple Watch screen yet. What does that mean? On a mountaintop, your map details are clearer. During workouts, the countdown is easier to see. And new watch faces will have even greater expressive power. Even better, it may inherit the Series 10's display tech, with some watch faces updating every second even in standby mode, creating the impression of a truly "living" screen. For the first time, the information on your wrist feels like it's breathing.

Health features remain a top concern, especially blood pressure monitoring. While many smartwatches on the market already support it, Apple has taken a cautious approach. Whether Ultra 3 will include it this year remains uncertain. But if Apple does bring it, it won't be a superficial "quick check." More likely, it will monitor quietly in the background and issue alerts the moment abnormalities appear-similar to how irregular heart rhythm detection once quietly became a guardian feature on the WrISt.

The Ultra 3 may become the first 5 G-enabled Apple Watch, and possibly even add satellite communication. Imagine hiking in the wilderness with no cell signal-yet your Ultra 3 can still send an SOS via satellite. In that moment, it's no longer just a watch—it's a lifeline. Compared to that, faster data speeds are almost secondary. 5G

I make syncing smoother, out of the real value lies in ensuring the watch is an "always-connected partner" when it matters most.

Sceptics may ask: Isn't this just another round of extra pixels and sensors? Why all the excitement? The answer is that its significance has already gone beyond being a "tiny screen on the wrist. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 embodies a shift: technology moving from tool to companion. Day by day, it records your health data, quietly building a personal archive that doctors can one day reference. In critical moments, it may even help save your life. That is the true meaning of the Ultra 3. It's no longer about "telling time" or "taking calls, " but about expanding the boundaries of human safety and lifestyle.

The Ultra 3 may not be a revolutionary leap, but it is a steady evolution-like a bridge stretching bit by bit into the future. Today's larger display, stronger chip, and better connectivity are laying the groundwork for tomorrow-when the watch will finally stand on its own, carrying the full weight of being your indispensable life assistant.
