Overview
- The Series 11 retains the Series 10’s slim design and S10 chip, shifting the hardware story to a larger battery and an optional 5G eSIM variant.
- Real‑world tests report roughly two days of typical use and about 70% charge in 30 minutes, with enough endurance for marathon‑length GPS workouts.
- watchOS 26 brings hypertension alerts, a new Sleep Score, the wrist‑flick gesture, and AI‑driven Workout Buddy, and it runs on Apple Watch Series 6 and newer.
- Pricing starts at £369/$399, with 5G models roughly £100/$100 more, reflecting a modest UK price cut compared with last year.
- Retail deals make the year‑old Series 10 a strong value—discounted by up to $120 in the U.S.—though buyers give up the longer runtime, and some features or approvals vary by region.
