Many reports surfaced prior to the "Its Glowtime" event that suggested September might be the first time Apple would be updating its entire Apple Watch series. However, much to the user's dismay, the focus of yesterday's announcement remained on the Apple Watch Series 10 and the new color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Contrary to our expectations, we did not see a new Apple Watch SE or the Apple Watch Ultra 3 being rolled out. An analyst now suggests the two models will be coming out in 2025.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 was missing from yesterday's announcements, and the earlier report stands true
When it comes to the launch of this year's Apple Watch models, we have been hearing mixed rumors regarding the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The speculations made a year ago suggested that it might not come out in 2024. Still, later on, some analysts claimed it would be most likely launched at the "Its Glowtime" event, to later go back on their own stance and suggest that it would be unlikely for the new model to come out at the September event.
Apple's big event held yesterday put the speculations to rest as we did not see the Apple Watch 3 Ultra being announced, and the company had the Apple Watch Series 10 as the primary wearable launched. We were expecting the new Apple Watch SE to be unveiled at the keynote, but much to the user's disappointment, that did not happen either.
A well-known analyst, MIng-Chi Kuo, has shared his views on the Apple Watch models that did not come out on X. He highlighted his last year's claim of the Apple Watch 3 not coming out in 2024 stand true and suggested that the chances of the smartwatch being released this year are now very bleak.

Ming-Chi Kuo went on to state that the upgraded versions of the Ultra 3 and the SE plastic model would most likely be coming out in 2025. While the source does seem reliable, there is no official confirmation of this information and until the company announces anything, such information should be taken with a grain of salt.
