I’ve been testing the Apple Watch Series 11 since Apple launched it in September of last year. It’s one of the best smartwatches and fitness trackers for anyone with an iPhone, especially if it’s on sale. Luckily, right now it’s 25% off at multiple major retailers ahead of President’s Day sales, matching the lowest price I’ve seen yet for the wearable.
Deal of the Day
The Apple Watch Series remains on my wrist most days, as it’s one of the main smartwatches I compare other smartwatches to — it’s that good. It tracks your health, sleep and workout data, and syncs with your phone to mirror your apps and notifications. While not everyone loves its square shape, I’ve found that it makes the watch exceedingly easy to use; most of its interface and apps mimic an iPhone, and the square shape makes reading and scrolling feel natural.
My favorite upgrade with this version is battery life: The Series 11 gets up to 24 hours of battery life, up from the 18 hours of every other Series watch before it. It comes in 42 and 46 millimeter sizes, three colors and has dozens of watch band options.
