Like the AirPods Pro 3, the Series 11 will have live translation capabilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">It is also the first Apple Watch with the ability to monitor for a serious medical condition called hypertension, or high blood pressure. The feature uses the Series 11\u2019s optical heart rate sensor, but instead of providing an assessment on demand, it works in the background using data collected over 30 days and a new algorithm to look for signs that indicate your blood pressure is potentially too high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">A new sleep score feature uses metrics like how long you\u2019ve been asleep and your sleep stages to help you better understand the quality of your rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Apple says the Series 11 will get \u201cup to 24 hours\u201d of battery life. The aluminum version will come in jet black, space gray, rose gold, and silver; the polished titanium one will come in natural, gold, and slate. The watch also comes with Ion-X glass, which Apple says has a ceramic coating bonded at the atomic level, making it twice as scratch-resistant as the previous glass, though it\u2019s not clear how it compares to sapphire watch crystals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Pricing starts at $399 for the GPS-only version of the 42mm Series 11 (the same price as the entry-level <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/9\/9\/24236801\/apple-watch-series-10-price-specs-features-release-date\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Watch Series 10<\/a>). It will be available for preorder starting today and start shipping on September 19th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Apple Watch Series 11 will launch alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/679225\/apple-watchos-26-wwdc-features\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">watchOS 26<\/a>, the latest version of Apple\u2019s smartwatch operating system, which includes new features like a wrist-flick gesture that can be used to dismiss calls, notifications, and alarms, as well as take you back to your watchface.
