The latest Apple Watch SE impressed us with all of its upgrades this year, but the Apple Watch Series 11 is still the better option if you’re an iPhone owner who requires more advanced health notifications. Thankfully it, like the SE, is now down to a new record-low price, starting at $349.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Walmart for the 40mm, GPS-enabled version.
Unlike the SE 3, Apple’s entry-level wearable, the Apple Watch Series 11 offers features like EKG readings, blood oxygen tracking, and the FDA-cleared hypertension notifications. Its 24-hour battery life makes it far more useful for sleep tracking, and it won’t drain nearly as quickly if you opt for the new 5G-enabled cellular model. It also features a larger display with thinner bezels, which is especially helpful for older users or anyone who doesn’t want to strain their eyes.
The Apple Watch Series 11 comes loaded with other helpful features. Like the Apple Watch SE 3, it includes sleep-apnea notifications, a wrist-temperature sensor, fall detection, and ovulation tracking. It also supports wrist-flick and double-tap gestures, so you can quickly clear notifications or answer phone calls hands-free without tapping the screen.
