Apple Watch Ultra 3 Launching This September: What to Expect

You will be waiting for a long, long time. There is no technology that’s even close to being non invasive to read glucose. Apple is not going to be the company to figure it out. As I said to another user, it was rumored years ago and is still years away. You know what that’s AKA for?
one thing I learned in technology in over 40 years: never say never ...
The technology exists, work continues on repeatability, reliability, and not to mention the regulatory rigor ...
It ill happen, sooner or later.
Rumored blood pressure monitoring never materializing makes my blood pressure rise. Apple is causing us health problems.
So, basically, another iterative update, like with the Apple TV....can't believe that people are paying top dollar just to upgrade to these latest models instead of paying the $79-$99 to replace the battery on their current Apple Watch. That is what I have been doing with my Apple Watch S6 - the latest models don't have any compelling features for me to upgrade from my S6...
The only thing that could entice me potentially from my current Ultra is a much improved onboard Siri experience.
Have the AWU1. Needed a new fitness watch and decided against the AWU3 for 5 reasons:
1. Too heavy
2. Too short battery life
3. Wellness and Sport functions are sub-par to real Sports- and Fitness watches (Blood oxygen measurements are essential) even laughable in comparison to Garmin watches
4. Too clunky, the bulky profile makes the watch gets stuck on grips, handlebars and wrist wraps more than others.
5. mobile connectivity is a gadget feature. How often do you have your watch with you but not your phone? Me 5% of my time when I am at the gym.

Can apple just stop making yearly products and just continue improving software like make it bi yearly hardware and work on software as priority
I’m about to buy a garmin I noticed after years of owning Apple Watch I mainly used it to track steps and gym and as a notification device lol, a garmin watch can do the same
Without blood glucose monitoring, it will never be the ultimate killer product. We want Apple to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Instead, Tim milking the machine as usual.
The technology doesn’t exist though. I’m a T1D I would know. And the first company to do it if it does will have some machine too large to fit in a watch. Remember this comment year after year when it doesn’t come out.
false, the technology does exist, I know that first hand.
As I said before, it takes time to get repeatability and reliability and then the whole regulatory requirements incl clinical trials etc etc.
Now, such a device would be a medical device (I can't recall the exact FDA term, class 2 or 1) as people's life depend on it, and the question becomes, will Apple ever want to turn the AW in such a regulated device? it would mean a significantly longer development timeline. That's a whole other business from what apple does today.
But 1 thing is for sure, such a device will come ...
It’s funny, you’re telling me it’s false and that it does exist yet you haven’t given a product or company name. Enlighten us old geezer on the revolutionary diabetes technology that not a single diabetic is on or using.
I have never heard of this company before but did a quick google search ...

I never said the technology is in "general" use, it is under development, and those who are using it are not at liberty to talk about it
First you tell me the technology exists and then don’t have a company or product. Then you Google it and link a company with a website that looks like it was coded with Geocities and HTML offering a non invasive glucose monitor “product” for NON DIABETICS. Here’s a hint, non diabetics have a built in non invasive glucose monitor it’s called their pancreas. But it gets better, the same company isn’t even attempting the product in diabetics, has no FDA filings and literally doesn’t even have a pipeline lol. It’s literally a late night QVC product. To wrap this up, the technology DOES NOT exist and if it ever does it will not be by Apple and it will not be in a compact enough for for their Apple Watch. You glucose monitoring folk are so far removed from reality on this. But don’t even take my word for it - look at what Apple’s exec said on the topic “MANY YEARS”. What do you think that’s code for?
