Apple introduces Apple Watch Series 11 with next-gen health insights

Apple has officially unveiled the Apple Watch Series 11, its thinnest and most comfortable design yet, featuring new health tools, longer battery life, tougher glass, and 5G connectivity.

The standout additions include hypertension notifications, which can alert users to potential signs of chronic high blood pressure, and a new sleep score feature that provides a clear picture of nightly rest quality. These join Apple Watch’s robust suite of health functions, making it an even stronger companion for everyday wellness.

Series 11 delivers up to 24 hours of battery life, supports fast charging, and introduces a 2x more scratch-resistant Ion-X glass display on aluminum models. Titanium versions retain their ultra-durable sapphire crystal. With 5G support and a redesigned antenna, users can expect faster downloads and stronger connections, even in areas with weaker coverage.

Running on watchOS 26, the new model brings features like Workout Buddy powered by Apple Intelligence, new watch faces, a wrist flick gesture, Smart Stack hints, and Live Translation in Messages.

Apple Watch Series 11 will be available in aluminum finishes — space gray, jet black, rose gold, and silver — as well as polished titanium in natural, gold, and slate. The lineup is complemented by new band colors, Nike updates, and fresh Hermès designs.

Environmentally, Apple has pushed further with Series 11: the watch includes 40% recycled materials, 100% recycled cobalt in the battery, and aluminum or titanium cases made with sustainable processes, all packaged in fully recyclable fiber-based materials.

Pre-orders for Apple Watch Series 11 start today, with availability beginning Friday, September 19. Prices start at $399 in the U.S.
