JAKARTA - Apple Watch is now entering its 10th age, and as time goes by, Apple has launched a variety of new models, including the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch SE. The year 2025 is predicted to be an exciting year for both lines, which will get major updates. This update is expected to bring advanced features that not only improve performance, but also provide a more premium experience for users.

Apple Watch Ultra, last updated in 2023 with the addition of new colors, will get a significant update this year. The most interesting feature anticipated is the 5G connectivity that first comes to the Apple Watch Ultra. This allows users to stay connected to the internet more quickly, even out of reach of Wi-Fi.

Apple Watch Ultra will also support satellite connections. This feature allows devices to send text messages and location information via satellite when no mobile network or Wi-Fi is available. This satellite connectivity will be a big advantage for Apple Watch Ultra, which is intended for outdoor activity enthusiasts such as hiking or diving, where they are often in remote locations. With this feature, Apple can compete with other devices that already adopt satellite technology, such as Garmin.

Additionally, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is predicted to bring a larger and brighter LTPO3 OLED display, with a faster refresh rate, making the clock look smoother, including live-moving second needles. The device's rear design is also expected to experience an update, with the use of stronger metals and larger charging coils, providing a faster and more efficient charging experience.

For health, Apple is developing a blood pressure monitoring feature, which, although still in the development stage, can be present at the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This feature will likely not provide specific blood pressure results, but will be able to detect hypertension and provide a warning to its users. This feature will be a very useful addition, given that Apple Watch is already equipped with various health monitoring capabilities such as heart rate detection and heart rhythm disorders.

Meanwhile, Apple Watch SE, which hasn't received a major update since 2022, is also expected to get an update in 2025. This update will include an upgrade of the chip to S10, which is faster than the current S8 chip. This new chip will improve device performance, enabling smoother use of apps and faster Siri responses. With this new chip, Apple Watch SE will also enable data processing on devices, increasing accuracy and response speed.

Apple Watch SE 3 is also expected to get an always-on screen, a feature that was previously only present in more expensive Apple Watch models. With this addition, users will be able to view clock information more easily without having to lift their wrist. In addition, Apple is likely to present a sleep apnea detection feature, which will alert if users have certain sleep disturbances, without requiring additional hardware.

For those who want a more premium device at affordable prices, the Apple Watch SE 3 will be an attractive option. In addition to the new design and chip, the SE 3 is also predicted to come with a larger screen size and thinner bezel, providing a more modern and comfortable look.

With all these updates, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 will further strengthen Apple's position in the smartwatch market by 2025. Both are expected to launch in September, alongside the launch of the iPhone 17. If true, this will be an important moment for fans of Apple devices who have been waiting for an upgrade for their wearable devices for a long time.
