Apple Watch Series 11

Apple Watch Series 11 is now a day-and-a-half smartwatch.

I iPhone Life Olena Kagui · reviewer · Jun 2021

The Apple Watch Series 11 did something that most skeptics thought was impossible - they gave the Apple Watch hypertension notifications by inventing a new way that the watch can analyze your blood pressure. It was also the first watch that announced Sleep Score, although that feature is software-based and available on several older models running watchOS 26. One of the most exciting updates for me, was the battery life improvement. Previously, most Apple Watches had a battery life of 18 hours but the Series 11 takes it to 24! Plus, if you get the cellular model, you'll have access to 5G.

First, the dial size is nearly perfect for something that you could wear day and night.

The Apple Watch Series 11 42mm with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity starts at $399 / £369 / AU$679 for the entry-level aluminum finish. That's the same price as the Series 10 in the US, and a price cut if you're in the UK; however, there's a slight increase for Australia. The larger 46mm model with the same connectivity, also in aluminum, starts at $429 / £399 / AU$699 – that's the same price as last year in the US and Australia, while again UK gets a price cut.

Now, all day actually means 24 hours. True, all day by everyone else's standards. But hey, it's here now, and I certainly appreciate it.

With a new release on the horizon, I went back and re-tested the Apple Watch Series 11, which came out in 2025, for one month. I used it as my primary fitness tracker for the month, recording all my steps, workouts, and nights of sleep, and I made sure to use the extensive smartwatch features.

So, that is basically how you go ahead and use your Apple Watch Series 11. There's a lot of really cool stuff here, a lot of really good information. I would recommend just kind of jumping in and using your watch as soon as you pick it up, because this type of watch, the more you use it, the more you're going to understand it. And there's like an infinite amount of features inside of this type of watch

Think of it this way: if you're after durability and freedom from the charger, Series 11 is a safe bet. If you'd rather save money and still close your rings every day, stick with the Series 10 or grab one while there's still discounted stock floating around on the internet.

I'm still a very big fan of it. No, Apple knocked it out of the park with these types of devices, and for a lot of people out there, they are still completely worth buying.

The Apple Watch Series 11 comes in two sizes, 42 mm and 46 mm, with prices from £369 / $399 / €449 / AU$679 for the more affordable aluminium model. The titanium model adds a significant premium and is selling for £649 / $699 / €799 / AU$1,249 (42 mm model).

This is because the Apple Watch Series 11 is a great device equipped with health-focused technology to measure the wearer's ECG and blood oxygen levels using a third-generation optical heart sensor and blood oxygen sensor technology.

As well as sticking with the ultra low slim profile, this year's Apple Watch also keeps the excellent display that its predecessor introduced.

M Medium Article · Nov 2025

Both devices completed all of these tasks to great effect, though the Series 11 lasted a little longer between charges and is certainly a more trim-looking case. But the SE 3 was not dramatically slower or worse.

Use the Apple Watch at Series 11 in the real world. But most importantly, I'll tell you why it's actually really useful.

If you’ve got that prerequisite, and you’re OK with having to charge it every day or day and a half, then it’s one of the best choices you can make. Definitely worth it.

After spending several weeks with it on my wrist, I’ve reached the same conclusion I usually do about the newest Apple Watch: the best keeps getting better.

I feel like the sport band is one of the most beautiful bands that Apple has ever made.

W WIRED Adrienne So · reviewer · Sept 2025

If you have a Series 3 or 4 and have been waiting to upgrade, this is the year to do it. Too bad Apple couldn’t pull this off last year.

N Nikias Molina Nikias Molina · 422K subscribers · Apr 2026

I simply prefer the display of the Series 11, and I simply prefer the aesthetic, the way that the Series 11 looks on my wrist.

The conclusion, much like the release cycle itself, feels familiar: this is still the best all-round smartwatch you can buy.

And this is for a total of six spinning sessions. So this is looking really good. And the correlation value which is this R value up here is rounded to 1.00. Now given that the correlation value cannot be higher than one 1.00 is just amazing.

If it were me, I'd go with the Series 11 and have access to all the incredible features this new Apple Watch has to offer.

Yeah, this is the standout color for me straight off the bat. I mean, we'll see the space gray, but I mean, just that looks so sleek and clean. You could pair this with like any band out there. And last, but not least, here we got the space gray. All righty. Here it is. And oh, it looks kind of blue, actually. What the heck? Yeah, that's really cool looking actually. Oh, I like this.

It's almost like a badge of honor when you wear it on your wrist that something so beautiful is actually made so sustainably and it's just not excessive at all. Now something else that is also made entirely from titanium is this Milanese loop right here. It's a tough one to pronounce for me. Pull tab is down here. There we go and there's a latte again. Ooh, we got instructions. Let's get this out here and this should lift the strap right out.

Now, what is really cool about the Apple Watch Series 11 specifically is that the display can now go all the way down to one hertz. So, on this particular watch face, you'll see that the second hand is moving. And what is cool is if I go ahead and put the watch on and then tilt my wrist away, you'll see that even with the screen in the off mode with the always on display, we still see that secondhand move.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is an amazing watch. It's one of the best smart watches you can buy right now, and it's also a pretty decent value. But unlike the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Apple Watch SE3, it's not a huge upgrade over the previous Apple Watch Series 10.

T The Tech Girl The Tech Girl · 127K subscribers · Oct 2025

Stick around because if you're still holding on to an older Apple Watch, this might finally be the upgrade that makes sense.

T The Run Testers The Run Testers · 122K subscribers · Nov 2025

It is a fair bit cheaper than the Ultra 3 and not quite as sports-focused, but as we'll come on to, it's still a pretty competent running watch all round.

T TheJuan&Only TheJuan&Only · 92.5K subscribers · Oct 2025

This isn’t a redesign — it’s a refinement. The biggest visual refresh comes from the new Space Gray aluminum finish, a tone that sits perfectly between Silver’s brightness and Jet Black’s depth. It’s subtle, versatile, and photographs beautifully under any light. If you’re more into the premium vibe, the titanium variants in Natural, Gold, and Slate return — now built entirely from 100 percent recycled titanium, making this Apple’s most eco-friendly lineup yet. Where things really improve, though, is durability. Apple’s aluminum models now use Ion-X glass that’s twice as scratch-resistant — and you can feel that peace of mind the first time you brush against a countertop or gym machine.

I have improvements for your user experience and of course I have lots of interesting features that are disabled by default and that will make your new Apple Watch 10 times better. But anyways, that being said, and before we continue, I actually want to make a small disclaimer.

I can’t say I am exactly “wowed” by Apple’s latest smartwatch. There are, however, a few aspects that I do appreciate on this one. In a year where the Apple Watch didn’t quite deliver any breakthroughs in terms of meaningful wellness upgrades, it made up for them by getting better in a few practical ways.

the Apple Watch Series 11, it's definitely not a massive update in my opinion.

T The Disconnekt Britta O'Boyle · reviewer · Sept 2025

Where I would hesitate to recommend it is if you have an Apple Watch Series 10 (or the Watch Series 9 to some degree). There are just not enough differences to warrant the upgrade this time around and you’d be better off waiting to see what the Watch Series 12 brings.

L Lifehacker Michelle Ehrhardt · reviewer · Sept 2025

The Series 11 is a great upgrade over my SE, but if you’ve been more up to date with your Apple Watch, you might not want to get the newest model at all. You'd likely be buying Series 11 for only three things.

G German Accent Reviews German Accent Reviews · 8K subscribers · Sept 2025

Overall, the watch does feel quite premium, but it's nowhere near as rugged as the Ultra 3.

T The Run Testers Article · Nov 2025

The Apple Watch Series 11 is not as sporty a smartwatch as the Apple Watch Ultra 3 , but it’s still a strong option for runners who want a small, lightweight smartwatch that offers reliable run tracking.

R Richard Lau Richard Lau · 4.3K subscribers · Sept 2025

Now, right off the bat, I got to say, just compared to the previous generation, the uh Series 10, based on the spec sheet and also the keyynote, it doesn't really seem like there was much of an update on this.
