Right now, both versions of the Series 11 (GPS-only and GPS + cellular model) are on sale. The GPS version starts at $299 (originally $399), and the GPS + Cellular version starts at $349.97 (originally $499), reaching a record low price after a 30% discount, according to price-tracking tools. If you're looking for the bigger 46mm size, they're both also at least $100 off in the GPS and cellular versions. During WWDC 26 earlier this summer, Apple announced it's offering new Siri AI upgrades with watchOS 27, which is available to beta testers now—but only some Apple Watches have compatibility, and the Series 11 is one of them. Some other upgrades in the new OS include a dedicated Siri app, a new app grid, a new single-tap gesture, and other features.Compared to the previous generation, the Series 11 improves its battery life, going up to 43 hours with the always-on display enabled, up from 36 hours for the Series 10. The Series 11 also supports 5G cellular, up from LTE on the Series 10. Another big update is that the Series 11 features FDA-approved hypertension notifications, alerting you if it detects signs of high blood pressure. (Read our full review of the device.)
