Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3 and Ultra 3 Introduced: Here's Everything New

The new watches stand out with their 5G connectivity support, advanced health features, sleep tracking , and Apple Intelligence integration. They also feature new interfaces and smart features that come with the watchOS 26 update.

Apple Watch Series 11: 5G and Advanced Health Tracking

While the Apple Watch Series 11 may appear similar in design to its predecessors, it boasts significant updates. The most notable development is Apple's introduction of 5G support to its watches for the first time, enabling faster connections and uninterrupted communication. On the health front, the ability to track serious conditions like hypertension and chronic high blood pressure with 30 days of data is a standout.

The new sleep score feature analyzes sleep duration and stages throughout the night, giving users a clearer assessment of sleep quality. The watch's glass also features reinforced IonX material, which Apple claims is twice as scratch-resistant as previous generations.

The Series 11, which promises up to 24 hours of battery life, will be available in recycled aluminum and titanium casings. The watch, which goes on sale on September 19, comes with watchOS 26, which includes innovations such as dismissing calls and notifications with a wrist gesture, an enhanced Smart Stack, and Workout Buddy powered by Apple Intelligence.

Apple Watch SE 3: Affordable and Now with an Always-On Display

Apple's entry-level model, the Watch SE 3, has also been updated. The new SE is faster with the S10 processor, and gains 5G connectivity, double-tap and wrist gesture controls, sleep apnea detection, and sleep score features. One of the biggest differences is the addition of always-on display support to this series.

Apple says the SE 3 offers up to 18 hours of battery life and charges twice as fast as the previous generation. The ability to play music and podcasts from the watch is also among the notable innovations. The SE 3 will be available on September 19th.

Apple Watch Ultra 3: More Powerful for Professionals

Apple's most durable model, the Watch Ultra 3, aimed at professional users, has also introduced significant improvements. The new Ultra now features 5G connectivity and offers up to 42 hours of battery life. Furthermore, with satellite connectivity, it offers a significant safety advantage, especially for outdoor sports enthusiasts.

While the screen size remains the same, the bezels have been thinned and the viewing area has been expanded. Like the Series 11, the Ultra 3 also offers hypertension alerts and sleep score support. This model will be available in black and natural titanium.
