Our take on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 GPS Cellular 49mm Large Light Blue Case

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is Apple's largest, toughest watch: a 49mm titanium case, sapphire crystal, 10 ATM water resistance and built-in cellular. It runs watchOS on the S10 chip with 64GB of storage, dual-frequency GPS and full health tracking including ECG and blood oxygen. Battery life is rated at 42 hours, far beyond the standard Apple Watch. At $549 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it sits well below its $799 launch price, so this is a strong point to buy.

Pros
  • Titanium case and sapphire glass resist scratches and dings
  • 10 ATM rating handles swimming and diving to 100m
  • Cellular built in, so calls and messages work without an iPhone nearby
  • 42-hour battery rating, roughly double the standard Apple Watch
  • Large, bright display is easy to read outdoors
  • Dual-frequency GPS holds a track better in cities and canyons
Cons
  • Heavy and bulky at 49mm; too big for small wrists
  • iPhone only, no Android support
  • 42 hours is short next to Garmin's multi-week endurance watches
  • Wi-Fi 4 only, older than the standard on phones
  • No USB port; charging is magnetic only
