The Apple Watch Series 11 was announced at the Apple Event Sept. 9, alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. The previous-gen Apple Watch Series 10 sits atop our list for the best smartwatch for 2025, and we expect that the Series 11 will also have plenty to offer. Apple touts the new smartwatch’s 5G connectivity, improved battery life and added health features, including blood pressure alerts. 

The new model comes in a variety of sizes and prices, which we’ve outlined for you below. But Apple tech is expensive, so we will cover any deals and trade-in offers so you can take advantage of opportunities to save. We’ll also continue to update this page as offers drop so check back for the latest details.
