There are still many unknowns around it, but the rumors that have come to light suggest that the main novelty will be the satellite connection which has been talked about so much lately.
Many are unaware that the iPhone 16 that was released this year has this advantage as one of its new features. The truth is that this is a feature that you will only use on rare occasions, but it can save your life in places where there is no coverage to establish communication. Now, this particular feature seems to be coming to the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 that will be announced in 2025 and this is what it entails.
Satellite connection for Apple Watch Ultra

The main one is a new blood monitoring function and who knows if it will also be the time to release the famous ones glucose sensors which has been talked about so much in the past.
Rumors and leaks suggested that the Apple Watch Series 10 would be the watch that debuted these functions, but in the end that was not the case. This is because, according to Apple itself, the accuracy and operation of the feature was not appropriate.
