Apple has unveiled its updated Apple Watch lineup: Series 11 (flagship), Ultra 3 (for extreme conditions), and SE 3 (budget option). Here are the key details.
The Series 11 has a similar design to the Series 10 — a thinner and lighter body, a larger display with Always-On (20% brighter in sunlight), sizes 42 mm and 46 mm. The gadget has new colors: titanium with a mirror finish (black, silver, gold).
The Ultra 3 has a larger screen (5% larger than the Ultra 2), a metal back for better charging and durability. The 49 mm titanium case is IP6X-rated and waterproof to 40 m.
SE 3 — with an updated plastic design (lighter and more compact), for the first time Always-On display (LTPO OLED), sizes 40 mm and 44 mm. A more modern look, but without premium materials.
All models are on the new S11 chip (architecture like the S10, but more compact and energy efficient) — not radically faster, but with lower power consumption and support for Apple Intelligence (AI features like improved Siri and health coaching).
They are all compatible with watchOS 12 with visionOS elements:, have a transparent Liquid Glass interface for a deeper immersion.
Among the health features is blood pressure monitoring: for the first time in Apple Watch (Series 11 and Ultra 3) — basic tracking (not a medical device, but warns of hypotension).
All models monitor wrist temperature and breathing during sleep.
The gadget also provides a daily overview of key metrics (heart rate, temperature, breathing) with AI insights.
The new watches feature improved ECG, fall/crash detection, gesture control (wrist flick for Siri), and integration with AirPods Pro 3 for heart rate during workouts. The Ultra 3 has satellite connectivity for SOS in remote areas and 5G RedCap for faster communication.
Series 11 can work up to 24 hours (up to 36 with low-power mode), fast charging up to 80% is achieved in 30 minutes.
The Ultra 3 has a battery life of up to 72 hours (up to 100 with optimization), and the same fast charging.
SE 3 has a battery life of 18 hours, but with fast charging (improved from its predecessor), a built-in speaker for music/podcasts.
Series 11 will cost $399 (about UAH 16,800), pre-order from September 12, sales from September 19, 2025.
Ultra 3 costs $799 (about 33,600 UAH).
The price of SE 3 is $249 (about 10,500 UAH). This gadget is available in the Apple Store worldwide, including Ukraine (via apple.com/ua and partners). In the USA, without blood oxygen due to a patent dispute, but in other regions — a full set.
