Apple Watch Ultra 3: A closer look at its satellite communications tools
This is the first time I’ve been able to establish a satellite connection on a smartwatch.
Other upgrades include the S10 chip, a slightly larger display, bigger battery that lasts up to 42 hours, support for 5G, as well as the hypertension and sleep score features coming to the Series 11 (and also the Ultra 2 and several older Apple Watch models). Once you select the Emergency SOS via Satellite option that appears after a few seconds or when your watch detects you’re offline, you’ll be shown a list of guidelines, recommending you be outside with a clear view of the sky and explaining that transmission will take longer than when sent over cellular networks. One area that appears to be different is that the Pixel Watch 4 will offer a "check replies" button that Google says “guides you to re-establish connection for updates from emergency services as needed.”
