Our take on the Apple Watch Series 12 46mm GPS + Cellular Aluminum

The Apple Watch Series 12 in the 46mm aluminum case with GPS + Cellular is Apple's largest-screen mainstream watch, with a 416 x 496 Always-On OLED that fits more of a message before you scroll. Cellular lets it take calls, stream and send Emergency SOS, Fall Detection and Crash Detection alerts without the iPhone nearby, though it needs a carrier plan. Health coverage is broad: ECG, blood oxygen, sleep stages and sleep apnea notifications. Battery life is about a day, or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, which is shorter than many Garmin and Coros rivals but in line with other Apple Watches. It suits iPhone owners who want a big screen and phone-free connectivity; Android users should look elsewhere.

About the Apple Watch Series 12 46mm GPS + Cellular Aluminum

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.

Questions and answers

Is the cellular model worth it over GPS-only?
If you run, walk or swim without your iPhone, cellular keeps calls, messages, music streaming and Emergency SOS working. If your phone is usually nearby, the GPS-only version does the same health and fitness tracking.
How does it compare with the 42mm Series 12?
The 46mm has a larger 416 x 496 display and a bigger battery in a heavier 38.6g case. The 42mm is easier for smaller wrists and lighter on the arm.
Does it work with an Android phone?
No. The Apple Watch Series 12 requires an iPhone for setup and full use, including the ECG, blood oxygen and sleep features.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at up to 24 hours of normal use and up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. Charging reaches about 80% in roughly 30 minutes.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is water resistant to 50 meters and has a depth gauge to 6 meters, so it suits pool and shallow open-water swimming.
What is in the box?
The watch with its band, a magnetic fast-charging cable and documentation. A power adapter is not included.
