Don\u2019t have the latest, greatest Apple Watch<\/a> model? Don\u2019t worry, neither do the majority of Tom\u2019s Guide readers, according to a recent poll we ran. With 6,458 of you chiming in about your smartwatch preference, the most popular model isn\u2019t the Apple Watch<\/a> Series 11, Ultra 3, or even the wallet-friendly SE 3.<\/p>\n

So which Apple Watch(es) topped the list? Read on.<\/p>\n

With 1,949 votes, the most popular response to our poll, \u2018Which Apple Watch model do you wear?\u2019 was the Apple Watch Series 10<\/a> (or older). That\u2019s a massive 30% of respondents sticking with the prior generation of the flagship series, rather than springing for the latest Apple Watch Series 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t too surprising, given the jump from the Apple Watch Series 10 to the Series 11<\/a> is relatively minor. Both devices share the same design, display, and useful health-monitoring tools, such as Hypertension and Sleep Apnea Detection. That said, the Series 11 boasts a better battery, 5G instead of LTE, and a tougher screen.<\/p>\n

26% of you upgraded to the Series 11 <\/p>\n

Though a healthy chunk of readers are hanging onto older models, the Apple Watch Series 11 was our second most popular response, with 1,697 of you selecting it. That\u2019s a whole lot more than the next most popular answer, the beefy Apple Watch Ultra 3<\/a>, which received 14% of the votes, or 897 clicks.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch Ultra 1\/2 was the fourth most popular response, selected by 777 readers for 12% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Bringing up the rear is the Apple Watch SE 3<\/a>, with 672 votes (10% of respondents), followed by the Apple Watch SE\/SE 2022 with 466 votes (7% of our readers). This means that more than 80% of you prefer Apple\u2019s flagship series or premium Ultra series to the more entry-level SE lineup.<\/p>\n
