Should I upgrade to the Apple Watch Ultra 3?
Our CNET experts will test this smartwatch and bring you a thorough, in-depth review and recommendations, but in the meantime, you can read our expert Jeff Clarson’s breakdown of the upgrades. General advice for those curious holds true — if you have an older Apple Watch from several generations ago, upgrading could offer significant improvements. If you have a relatively newer smartwatch, you may prefer to wait for a more in-depth analysis that compares the watch you have to the latest installment of the Apple Watch Ultra. Additionally, you may opt to buy the Apple Watch Series 11 flagship instead, if you don’t need all the features included in the new Apple Watch Ultra 3.
If you’re looking to shop for previous Apple Watch models, our roundup of the best Apple Watch deals includes sales on the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 9 and SE, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
