Don’t have the latest, greatest Apple Watch model? Don’t worry, neither do the majority of Tom’s 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’t the Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, or even the wallet-friendly SE 3.
So which Apple Watch(es) topped the list? Read on.

With 1,949 votes, the most popular response to our poll, ‘Which Apple Watch model do you wear?’ was the Apple Watch Series 10 (or older). That’s a massive 30% of respondents sticking with the prior generation of the flagship series, rather than springing for the latest Apple Watch Series 11.

This isn’t too surprising, given the jump from the Apple Watch Series 10 to the Series 11 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.

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’s a whole lot more than the next most popular answer, the beefy Apple Watch Ultra 3, which received 14% of the votes, or 897 clicks.
The Apple Watch Ultra 1/2 was the fourth most popular response, selected by 777 readers for 12% of the vote.

Bringing up the rear is the Apple Watch SE 3, 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’s flagship series or premium Ultra series to the more entry-level SE lineup.
Will you be upgrading to the next Apple Watch?
All this talk of Apple Watch models begs the question: Do you plan on upgrading to a new Apple Watch this fall when the Series 12 will almost certainly launch, possibly alongside a new Ultra or SE? Let me know in the poll below.
