It\u2019s Apple\u2019s fastest and most durable flagship wearable yet, with a bright, wide-angle OLED display that\u2019s easy to read at a glance. It offers the longest battery life of any Series model to date, allowing you to eke out up to 24 hours (or 38 hours in low-power mode) on a single charge with the base configuration. The LTE version doesn\u2019t drain as quickly either thanks to Apple\u2019s power-efficient 5G modem, and you can charge a dead watch to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">On the health and wellness side, it offers a diverse range of features, from FDA-cleared hypertension notifications and sleep scores to ovulation tracking, sleep apnea detection, and fall detection. Beyond that, you get access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/777319\/apple-watchos-26-available-update-download\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">watchOS 26 features like<\/a> Workout Buddy, which offers real-time coaching, as well as wrist flick and double tap gestures so you can control the watch without touching the screen. Rounding things out, you also get Apple\u2019s usual set of smart features, including Apple Pay, Siri, and access to music directly from your wrist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re still holding onto an older Apple Watch, now might be a good time to upgrade.
