Apple’s latest smartwatches have set a new benchmark in wearable technology, combining cutting-edge health tracking features with groundbreaking satellite connectivity. Unveiled as part of the company’s recent product lineup, these watches offer advanced capabilities like enhanced heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and the ability to connect via satellite for emergency communications in remote areas. With a sleek design and powerful performance, Apple continues to push the boundaries of what a smartwatch can do, making these devices the most impressive yet in their lineup.
Daniel Howley for Yahoo Finance:
Apple’s (AAPL) latest Apple Watches hit the market Sept. 19 with a number of meaningful upgrades. The $259 Apple Watch SE 3, $399 Apple Watch Series 11, and $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 each get more durable displays and 5G cellular connectivity.
But the marquee feature of this year’s lineup is hypertension notifications, only available on the Series 11 and Ultra 3… Additionally, all three watches get Apple’s new sleep score functionality, which uses a 100-point sleep system meant to help users better understand their sleep patterns. The three watches also get Apple’s new Workout Buddy feature, an AI assistant that provides personalized motivational chatter to get you pumped to exercise…
Apple said the Ultra 3 gets up to 42 hours of battery life, up from 36 hours for the Ultra 2. And because the company has a habit of underselling its watches’ batteries, it’ll likely last far longer…
That makes the Series 11 the middleman of the group. It’s largely unchanged physically, with its 46mm and 42mm sizes. It does get longer battery life, with Apple saying the Series 11 should last up to 24 hours. Again, you can expect it to go beyond that…
[I]f you’re an athlete who ends up off the grid often or just want the best battery life and don’t mind spending a chunk of change, the Ultra 3 is the way to go.
If you want most of the Ultra 3’s features but don’t want the price tag, go for the Series 11. And if you’re looking to get your first Apple Watch or simply want a good smartwatch and fitness tracker, then the SE 3 is your best bet.
