The Apple Watch Series 12 in the 46mm size has GPS and built-in cellular. It uses its own 5G and LTE connection to take calls, send messages and stream without an iPhone nearby. A cellular plan from a supported carrier is needed.
The aluminum case holds an Always-On Retina display with a Ceramic Shield 2 front. The display is 416 x 496 pixels across 1196 sq mm, so more of a message fits before you scroll. Fall Detection, Crash Detection and Emergency SOS work over the watch's own connection.
Health features include the ECG app, the Blood Oxygen app, sleep stages and sleep apnea notifications. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters and has a depth gauge to 6 meters. Battery life is up to 24 hours of normal use, or 38 hours in Low Power Mode.
