The Apple Watch Series 11 Aluminum was officially announced on September 9, 2025, and is expected to launch on September 19, 2025. Designed as the lighter and more affordable counterpart to the titanium model, it delivers all the core Apple Watch features in a slimmer and more versatile package.
Weighing just 29.7g (42mm) and 36.9g (46mm), this version is significantly lighter than the titanium edition, making it ideal for everyday wear and fitness tracking. The aluminum frame is paired with Ion-X strengthened glass (2025 gen) on the front and a ceramic/sapphire crystal back, ensuring both durability and affordability. The watch is also IP6X dust resistant, water resistant up to 50m, and comes with a depth gauge (up to 6m).
The 1.96-inch Retina LTPO3 OLED display reaches 2000 nits peak brightness, offering clear visuals in any environment. Powered by the Apple S10 chipset and running watchOS 26, it delivers smooth performance with 64GB of storage. Like the titanium model, it comes with ECG certification (region dependent), advanced health sensors, and Ultra Wideband Gen2 support.
Its Li-Ion battery supports fast wireless charging (0–80% in 30 minutes), making it reliable for daily use. Available in stylish finishes including Jet Black, Space Gray, Rose Gold, and Silver, the Apple Watch Series 11 Aluminum is priced at about €450, making it the most affordable option in the Series 11 lineup.
