Other updates include the use of INX glass with ceramic coating that’s supposed to make the Watch Series 11 two times more scratch-resistant than its predecessor.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is $399.

Also new this year is the Apple Watch Ultra 3, which also supports hypertension notifications and sleep scores.
Another one of the biggest updates here is the bigger display within the same-size case, created through the use of smaller bezels. Apple didn’t confirm the size of the screen, but the Watch Ultra 2’s screen is 49×44 mm.
The new OLED screen is also supposed to be brighter when viewed from an angle, compared to its predecessor. Again, we don’t have specific numbers yet, but the Ultra Watch 2 claims a max brightness 2,000 nits.
In addition to supporting 5G and satellite connectivity, the Watch Ultra 3 is also supposed to have double the radio and antenna strength of the Watch Ultra 2, thanks to new designs.
Apple’s priciest watch also has a bigger battery, with a 42-hour battery life claim. Its predecessor claims up to 36 hours of battery.
The Watch Ultra 3 will be $799.

Finally, Apple is also upgrading its budget Apple Watch SE with an Apple S10 chip, a notable upgrade from the S8 used in the preceding Apple Watch SE 2. With this chip, the Apple Watch SE 3 will be the first Watch SE to have an always-on display.
Additionally, the SE 3 will get the ability to track sleep scores and deliver sleep apnea alerts, like the Watch Series 11 can. It also adds the abilities for retrospective ovulation estimates and wrist temperature monitoring, “which can provide insight into overall wellbeing and adds to the other key health metrics available in the Vitals app,” Apple’s presentation said.
Apple’s new budget smartwatch has the same 18-hour battery claims as the SE 2 but is supposed to be able to charge twice as fast.
The Watch SE 3 is $249.
Preorders for the new Apple Watches start today, and the devices will be available on September 19.
