Our take on the Apple Watch Series 12 GPS Cellular 42 mm Titanium Case - Gold/Brown

The Apple Watch Series 12 in a 42 mm titanium case is Apple's premium small-size smartwatch, pairing a lightweight brushed titanium body with a bright OLED display and the full watchOS feature set. It covers sleep tracking, continuous heart rate, workouts, contactless payments, safety alerts and cellular calling without your phone. Titanium sets it apart from the aluminum models: it is lighter than stainless steel and more scratch-resistant, and it is the only Series 12 finish in this size with a gold tone. It suits iPhone owners who want a durable, dressier watch that also tracks health and sleep, and who will use cellular for runs and errands without a phone.

Questions and answers

Is the titanium case worth it over aluminum?
Titanium is lighter and more scratch-resistant, and it is the only way to get the gold finish in 42 mm. If you do not care about the finish or weight, the aluminum Series 12 does the same job.
Does it work without an iPhone?
No. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone to set up and use, and it does not pair with Android phones.
Can I make calls without my phone?
Yes, the cellular model can call, text and stream music on its own with a carrier plan. Without a plan it works over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi like the GPS model.
How long does the battery last?
About a day of normal use. Cellular calls and workouts shorten that, so most owners charge it overnight or during a shower.
Does it track sleep?
Yes. Sleep tracking is built in and works without extra apps, though you need to wear it overnight and charge it at another time.
What is in the box?
The watch with the brown silicone strap and a magnetic charging cable. A power adapter is not included.
