New Apple Watches 11 and Ultra 3 -5G Cellular

bazooka-joe — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 19:10:29 GMT

So I currently have a Sim plan on my Ultra 2. I upgrade my watch an upgrade my watch annually and I usually move the plan to my new watch every year. Now that Apple have announced that their watches will be cellular 5G enabled and confirmation that EE will be supporting 5G plans for the watches, does that mean I have to take out a new plan or when I transfer my Sim from my Ultra 2 to the Ultra 3, would I be upgraded automatically to 5G

@bazooka-joe Probably not, because of you actually look at what the tariff gives you it probably is already a 5G tariff, I know mine is.

Does anyone know when pre orders on the new watches start on the EE site?

Hi @jmc6787

You can find the latest information on the website, look at What’s new and register your interest to be kept up to date with pre orders and availability.

There’s no watches on there though. Just the phones.

Thanks everyone for the updates. The guide I called said it was still not available but another one just processed my order so not sure what they’re doing haha. Just got confirmation though so still getting it on launch day.

I wasn’t going to upgrade this year but finding a buyer for my old watch made it a much easier thing to do at 11:15 this morning

Does anyone know if EE will finally allow Apple Watch Ultras to roam internationally without having to have your paired iPhone with you? I do a lot of European hiking and I really would like to leave my phone behind (or in my pack and off) if my Watch can exist on its own while walking.
