Apple will finally release the Apple Watch Ultra 3 sometime this year, ending a two-year draught in new Ultra models, according to analyst Jeff Pu of GF Securities Hong Kong (via @jukanlosreve).

The analyst expects both the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 to arrive this year, according to his latest product roadmap shared with investors.
Apple Watch Ultra fans have faced a bit of a drought when it comes to new models, as Apple completely skipped an update for the rugged Apple Watch model in 2024, unless you count a new black titanium color option. That means that as of Spetember, it will have been two years since any meaningful update to the Ultra.
Pu’s timeline jibes with other industry analyst expecting a refresh of the entire 2025 Apple Watch lineup. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the Ultra 3 could gain satellite connectivity and 5G capabilities.
Pu’s timelines indicate Apple will release its much-rumored HomePod tablet this year, while delaying an AirPods Pro 3 release until 2026.
