The technology that allows connection to satellites, Apple explains on its website, offers a completely different experience than what we are used to because They have little bandwidth and the satellites are hundreds of kilometers from Earth.

He also argues that the decision to upgrade to the Ultra is because they have a battery twice the size of the other models.

On the other hand, this technology would also serve when we lost the iPhone or we don't have the phone with us or if on the contrary the watch is used by a user without an iPhone, something that is not possible at the moment.
Gurman also reported that Apple is still working on two other health-related sensors. One of them is blood sugar monitoring, something that will take years for now but which Apple is investing a lot of time and money into. On the other hand, it is blood pressure monitoring, this could reach the Apple Watch, perhaps not as specific measurements but as indirect signs that blood pressure is higher than normal.
