Overview
- Ultra 3 is cast as the rugged flagship with a 3,000‑nit display, dual‑frequency GPS, 5G RedCap, and satellite tools, delivering roughly 42 hours per charge or up to 72 hours in low‑power modes for $799.
- Series 11 emerges as the daily pick with a thinner build, a brighter 2,000‑nit screen, new hypertension notifications, and about 24 hours of battery life starting at $399.
- SE 3 targets first‑time and budget buyers with the S10 chip, 18‑hour battery life, sleep‑apnea detection, sleep scores, and temperature sensing at about $250.
- Coverage underscores clear use‑case splits: Series models suit all‑day wear and mainstream health tracking, while Ultra caters to endurance, navigation accuracy, diving, and off‑grid safety.
- Comparisons also weigh Ultra 3 against Whoop, noting Whoop’s screen‑less, subscription model with longer battery life versus the Ultra’s full smartwatch features and iPhone integration.
