"The satellite service is free for at least two years. No extra apps or services are needed for family and friends, and you can send messages and location links. The watch guides you to successful connectivit,y and it even works with some light clouds and breaks in the forest. When I got my first Apple Watch Ultra three years ago, I took it through the rigors of a Tough Mudder competition where it withstood everything I threw at it, quickly becoming my favorite smartwatch."
"I just spent some time with the new trail running off the grid, and I'm happy to say that it continues in the same vein as its predecessor. Also: I tested the Apple Watch Ultra 3 to figure out who should upgrade - here's my advice ZDNET's Nina Raemont covered the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in a full-length review, but I wanted to break down the benefits of one of my favorite new features: its support for satellite communications."
"But having tested all three watches, it's clear the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is best for me and for most people exploring the world outside of cell connectivity. Apple says it will provide two years of free satellite support with the Apple Watch Ultra 3, and if that stays the same as the iPhone, we may never be charged for the service."
Apple Watch Ultra 3 adds satellite communication that provides messaging and location links to family and friends without requiring extra apps or services. Apple offers at least two years of free satellite support, potentially remaining free as with the iPhone. The watch guides users to obtain a satellite connection by directing movement and can acquire signals through some light clouds and forest breaks. Testing included driving an hour into woods and running on forest service roads until phones lost cellular connectivity, where the satellite utility successfully helped secure connections compared to other smartwatch options.
