Apple unveils Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and Watch SE 3 Aisha Malik AM PDT · September 9, 2025 Apple on Tuesday unveiled three new Apple Watch configurations and its annual hardware event: the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3.

Apple says it plans to notify over 1 million people with undiagnosed hypertension in the first year alone.

The watch can also help you understand the quality of your sleep and how to make it more restorative. With the new Sleep Score, the quality of your sleep is influenced

It also debuts with 5G connectivity, bringing an improvement over the existing LTE connectivity options. It uses less battery and provides even more coverage.

Apple Watch Series 11 now gets up to 24 hours of battery life and comes in Jet Black, Silver, Rose Gold and a new Space Gray. It starts at $399.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is launching with a larger screen and satellite connectivity. As with the Series 11, it’s also getting 5G connectivity and hypertension notifications.
