The Apple Watch Series 11 made its official debut at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday, vying for a spot on your wrist with a mix of fresh updates including new hypertension notifications, sleep score analysis, 5G connectivity and increased battery life.Â
With a decade of upgrades and refinements, the Series 11 represents a big move for Apple as it leans further into AI-driven features across its devices, including the Apple Watch. Alongside the Series 11, Apple also unveiled its third-generation Apple Watch Ultra 3, the new iPhone 17 lineup (including the iPhone TK), and the latest generation of AirPods.
Both the Series 11 and the new Ultra 3 will ship with WatchOS 26, which Apple previewed at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The update brings a cleaner “liquid glass” UI, live translation for text messages, a redesigned Notes app for your wrist and Workout Buddy; Apple’s new AI-powered companion that offers real-time motivation based on your personal metrics during certain workouts.
The Apple Watch Series 11 will be available starting September 19. Pricing starts at $399 for the base model of the Series 11.Â
