Apple Watch Ultra 3 stands out as a rugged, cellular Apple Watch with strong ecosystem features, quick wireless charging, and the freedom to call, text, and use data without a nearby phone. Costco's 90 day return window and in store availability add deal appeal, and the included Ocean band can fit small wrists despite sizing concerns on other bands. The main tradeoff is size and weight, which can feel bulky for daily wear or running, and battery life is still a concern for longer fitness use. A solid option if you want the Ultra experience and can live with the bulk.

  • Daily Apple ecosystem users who want cellular independence, because it supports calls, texts, and data without a nearby phone.

  • Runners who want a watch that charges quickly between workouts, because it recharges faster and easier than many fitness watches.

  • Shoppers who want a long return window while watching for price drops, because Costco allows 90 days to decide.

  • Wearers with small wrists who need a band that fits, because the included one-size band can fit small wrists.

  • People who want all-day comfort from a lightweight watch, because it can feel heavy and constantly noticeable.

  • Trail runners who want a slim watch, because this model feels bulky during runs.

  • Athletes who need long battery life for long runs, because the battery may not last long enough for running use.

  • Active runners who dislike a watch shifting on the wrist, because it can move a lot unless the band is very tight.

Depends on what youre looking for. Garmin relies HEAVILY on HR and sleep score for their metrics. Also, according to the Quantified Scientist on Youtube, Garmins' HR and especially sleep tracking falls short of Apple. Venu x1 also does not have multi band GPS.
Well I will send some of the comparison details, where they were showing apple watch ultra is the one that lacks in both department and Garmin is much more accurate in everything. Some of the comments were from Apple watch users who switched to Garmin X1 for several reasons one of top one was watch ultra battery life isn't good.

Check out the quantified scientist. He literally went to college for biometric data.

$700. Jfc. Anyone looking for a good deal, go to Swappa. Make sure the seller has a high rating. I just bought a mint condition Series 9 cellular AW for $240.
lol. Just checked swappa and the last one that sold was for $670. Why buy used to save $30?

Quote from t99 View quoted comment :
Yeah the watch moves a lot when running unless have the band super tight. Some of the rumors say the Ultra 4 will be redesigned and slimmer.
A slimmer model will likely mean a smaller battery. The battery on these already is not that great compared to other fitness watches like Garmin, etc. I have an Ultra 1 that I wear daily and I am happy with the almost 2 days worth of battery I get, I am not super active so it works for me. Most of my friends that use it for running, etc. complain the battery does not last long enough.

This will be my first Apple Watch. I am buying the natural case, which band should I get? Is one band more expensive than another?
It depends on whether you spend a lot of time in the water. All bands except the ocean one dry slowly.
