Apple’s much-anticipated “Away Dropping” launch event on Tuesday brought a wave of new devices to the market. The Cupertino tech giant introduced the Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and Watch SE 3, marking a significant step forward in its wearable lineup. Alongside the smartwatches, Apple also unveiled the iPhone 17 series, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
This launch is especially notable because it updates the Watch SE series after three years—the last SE model was introduced in September 2022. The Watch Series 11 succeeds the Series 10, launched in September 2024, and now comes packed with upgraded health tracking features, durability improvements, and more.

Apple Watch Series 11: Specifications and Features
The Apple Watch Series 11 is built for durability and performance:
5G connectivity and runs on watchOS 26
Display: Ion-X strengthened glass with an added ceramic coating using physical vapor deposition for atomic-level bonding. Apple claims this makes the front glass twice as scratch resistant.
Sustainability: Constructed from 100% recycled titanium and aluminum
Battery life: Up to 24 hours with fast charging support
Health features: ECG, irregular rhythm notifications, new Sleep Score system, and the standout feature—Hypertension Notifications
The hypertension feature works passively in the background, analyzing 30 days of heart sensor data to detect anomalies in blood vessel response. If irregularities are found, the user receives a discreet notification. This makes the Series 11 not just a smartwatch but a potential life-saving device.
