No Apple Watch Ultra 3 this year, but a sleek new colour for Ultra 2

Apple Watch Ultra 2 gets a sleek satin black titanium finish and health updates, but no Ultra 3 was revealed at the Glowtime event.

Apple’s recent Glowtime event mainly focused on the much-anticipated Apple Watch Series 10, but there was a notable absenceโ€”the Apple Watch Ultra 3. While some expected a new generation of the Ultra, Apple decided to stick with its current Apple Watch Ultra 2 model. However, there’s a fresh update that could still turn headsโ€”a sleek new satin black titanium finish.

A fresh look for Ultra 2

Appleโ€™s decision to introduce this satin black titanium version gives the Ultra 2 a stylish upgrade. The colour is a deep, rich black with a subtle brushed effect, which adds a sophisticated edge to the watchโ€™s design. The watch has an understated, elegant feel when paired with the all-new Titanium Milanese Loop, also available in satin black. This updated colour may seem like a minor change, but it gives the Ultra 2 a fresh and modern look that could appeal to many.

The satin black finish is more than just a new aesthetic; it complements the Ultra 2’s premium nature. Whether you’re wearing it casually or during outdoor activities, this subtle yet sleek update could push some people to choose Appleโ€™s top-tier smartwatch.

A boost for current Ultra 2 owners

If you’re already an Apple Watch Ultra 2 owner, thereโ€™s good news for you, too. While a new Ultra wasnโ€™t announced, Apple did reveal that the Ultra 2 will soon be updated with the same sleep apnoea detection feature introduced in the Series 10. This feature will also be coming to the Series 9, offering users a significant health-tracking boost without needing to upgrade their devices.

The Ultra 2 already stands out for its robust features, including its durability, long battery life, and excellent fitness tracking capabilities. So, even though a new Ultra 3 didnโ€™t make an appearance, the Ultra 2 remains a strong contender in the smartwatch market. With this latest software upgrade, itโ€™s clear that Apple is committed to keeping the Ultra 2 competitive with its newer models.

Is the new colour enough?

While the satin black colour may seem like a small change, it could be a game-changer for some potential buyers. The Apple Watch Ultra 2, with its rugged design, advanced features, and now a fresh new look, offers a premium experience that sets it apart from other Apple Watch models. If youโ€™ve been on the fence about upgrading to the Ultra line, this stylish update might be the perfect excuse to make the jump.

The new satin black Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now available for preorder and will officially launch on September 20. It is priced at S$1,199, or S$1,339 if you opt for the Titanium Milanese Loop.
