Just curious if anything new or exciting is coming, or if it’ll just be the same ole thing.
 
I saw one that said that the Ultra 4 will be adding satellite connectivity.

Which is already in the Ultra 3 😀

I haven't seen any reputable rumours.

I went from a 2 year old AWU2 to an AWU3 - I am a HUGE fan of the Ultra series. That said, not much of a difference between the two. I have heard 0 rumors.

So what would make me upgrade? Longer battery life. MIP display. Solar charging? I don't know. Pretty happy with the watch - I wear it 24/7.
 
I've seen some rumors about design changes on the ultra 4 like thinner glass bezels and 10-15% reduction in thickness. I also saw something about touch id being added but that seems pretty unlikely to me. Since there was hardly any design changes in the ultra 1-3 I would be shocked if they didn't make some kind of change but after the disappointment of the series 10 "redesign" my hopes aren't very high. A thinner ultra with the screen stretching all the way to the titanium would be an instant buy for me.
 
They say they will improve the heart rate feature. Not sure if it will be a software or new sensor to improve it. Apple is working on more satellite features but not sure how far that will go this year.
