The Apple Watch Series 11 is here and is something that Apple calls its most comprehensive health and fitness package to date. The new smartwatch is a significant upgrade, featuring a new sleep score tool, up to 24 hours of battery life, better durability, and the addition of 5G network connection. The watch retains its thin, comfortable design from its predecessor.
The Apple Watch Series 11 starts from Rs 46,900 in India and will be available in various variants (Wi-Fi only and cellular) as well as colours.
Apple Watch Series 11 features at a glance
A key highlight of the Series 11 is its new sleep score feature, which provides users with insights into their sleep quality. The watch’s sensors collect data on heart rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate. The new score helps users understand how to improve their sleep for better restoration. This joins an already robust suite of health features, including irregular rhythm notifications and the ECG app.
For fitness enthusiasts, the new watchOS 26 introduces ‘Workout Buddy,’ an AI-powered fitness experience that provides personalised and spoken motivation during workouts.
Hardware upgrades are galore
The hardware has also seen major improvements. The Apple Watch Series 11 now boasts a 24-hour battery life, thus making it more convenient for round-the-clock wear, including sleep tracking. Its durability has been enhanced with a new ceramic coating on the Ion-X glass, making the display on aluminum models twice as scratch-resistant. Additionally, the watch now supports 5G cellular capabilities, offering faster downloads for music, podcasts, and apps. A redesigned antenna is present for improved reception.
