The Apple Watch Series 11 was unveiled on September 9, 2025, with release scheduled for September 19, 2025. Positioned as Apple’s mainstream smartwatch, it combines style, durability, and advanced health features at a more affordable price compared to the Ultra models. Available in two case sizes — 42mm and 46mm — both with GPS + Cellular connectivity, the Series 11 balances sleek design with powerful performance.
At just 34.6g for the 42mm model and 43.1g for the 46mm model, it is lightweight yet robust, featuring a grade 5 titanium frame, sapphire crystal glass protection, and IP6X dust resistance. The watch is water resistant up to 50m and includes a depth gauge for dives up to 6m, making it a versatile everyday and fitness companion.
The 1.96-inch Retina LTPO3 OLED display reaches 2000 nits peak brightness, ensuring clear visibility even under bright sunlight. Powered by the Apple S10 chipset, dual-core CPU, and watchOS 26, it offers fluid performance and access to Apple’s wide ecosystem of apps. With 64GB internal storage, users can store music, apps, and data directly on the watch.
Health and fitness tracking remains a major highlight, with sensors for heart rate, SpO2, VO2max, temperature sensing, always-on altimeter, and ECG (region-dependent). The inclusion of UWB Gen2, NFC, and satellite-ready safety features make the Series 11 not only a fitness tool but also a smart connectivity device.
Battery performance is enhanced with wireless fast charging that takes the watch from 0–80% in just 30 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime. Available in Slate, Gold, and Natural finishes, the Apple Watch Series 11 is priced at around €800, making it one of the most attractive options in Apple’s smartwatch lineup.
