What new health features does the Series 11 add?

It adds hypertension notifications, which flag signs of chronic high blood pressure, and a sleep score that rates the quality of your sleep. The rest of the health suite carries over from recent models.

How does it compare with the Series 10?

The Series 11 adds hypertension notifications and the sleep score, and its glass is rated 2x more scratch resistant. Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours with fast charging.

Do I need an iPhone to use it?

Yes. The Apple Watch pairs with an iPhone, and features like Workout Buddy use Apple Intelligence from a nearby iPhone. Cellular service needs a carrier plan.

Is the 42mm case a good size?

The 42mm case is the smaller of the two sizes and is described as thin and lightweight for all-day and overnight wear. The Sport Band comes in S/M and M/L lengths.

Can it detect sleep apnea?

Yes. It can send notifications for possible sleep apnea, along with irregular rhythm and high and low heart rate alerts. These are notifications, not medical diagnoses.

The watch with its case and band, plus a fast-charge USB-C cable. Three months of Apple Fitness+ are included.
