Apple Expands Its Health-Focused Watch Lineup
Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 during its annual iPhone event, placing a strong spotlight on health and durability. These smartwatches push the boundaries of wearable tech with hypertension detection, sleep tracking, and improved cellular connectivity—all while extending battery life. Apple also refreshed the entry-level SE with practical upgrades for budget-conscious users.
Apple Watch Series 11: Durable and Smarter Than Ever
The $399 Series 11 sets a new standard in durability, offering double the scratch resistance of the Series 10. For the first time, it supports 5G connectivity, while using less power for cellular tasks. Apple added a breakthrough feature: the ability to detect high blood pressure patterns when worn consistently for 30 days. Pending FDA clearance, this could alert up to 1 million users to possible hypertension risks.
Beyond health monitoring, the Series 11 introduces a new sleep score feature, helping users gain deeper insights into nightly rest. With up to 24 hours of battery life and live translation powered by Apple Intelligence, the Series 11 blends practicality with innovation.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Built for Performance and Safety
At $799, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 aims at power users and outdoor adventurers. It features a brighter, faster display that improves readability in any condition. Like the Series 11, it supports 5G, but it also goes further with satellite connectivity. That means users can send emergency SOS messages, share their location via the Find My app, and stay connected when networks fail.
The Ultra 3 offers up to 42 hours of battery life—nearly double the Series 11—making it a strong companion for long trips. It also integrates hypertension and sleep apnea detection, expanding Apple’s commitment to proactive health monitoring.
Apple Watch SE 3: Affordable Innovation
Apple didn’t overlook its entry-level audience. The $249 Apple Watch SE 3 now includes an always-on display, wrist temperature tracking, and the same new sleep scoring feature found in the higher-end models. It also supports sleep apnea detection and includes a louder speaker for music playback.
Thanks to fast charging, the SE 3 powers up twice as quickly as its predecessor while offering up to 24 hours of battery life. For users seeking affordability without losing access to essential health and fitness features, the SE 3 strikes an appealing balance.
Apple’s latest Watch lineup underscores its drive to merge technology with health insights. With improved durability, advanced sensors, and longer-lasting batteries, these devices aim to empower users to take charge of their wellbeing while staying seamlessly connected.
