Tom's Guide

Not one, not two, but THREE new Apple Watch devices have a release date of September 19. Kate talks through the biggest upgrades between Apple Watch 10 vs. Apple Watch 11 including battery life, connectivity (hello, 5G!), and new fitness tracking features. Apple's smartwatch now has a version of blood pressure monitoring via possible hypertension alerts and sleep scores. For Apple Watch Ultra 3, the addition of Satellite is a standout, plus a slightly larger screen is always welcome. In this video you'll also see the new Apple Watch faces... everything else you'll need to stay tuned for my Apple Watch Series 11 vs. Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs. Apple Watch SE 3 review.

00:00You guys, Apple finally did it. I don't know how many years ago I gave up total hope of having an

00:06Apple Watch that actually lasted 24 hours, but here we are with the Apple Watch Series 11. Now,

00:12that's just one of the upgrades of what is one of three new Apple Watch models you'll be able

00:17to get this year. I promise I will be doing a full comparison of the Apple Watch Series 11,

00:22Apple Watch Ultra 3, and new Apple Watch SE3 here on the channel very soon, so make sure you're

00:27subscribed. But right now, we're getting our first look hands-on with the Apple Watch Series 11.

00:31I'm looking at the new Space Great color. Otherwise, we have jet black, rose gold, and silver,

00:37familiar colors from last year, and overall, very similar look. Remember, last year with the Series 10,

00:41we had that redesign with the larger screen, more flush design. Virtually unchanged. On the left,

00:48I have my Apple Watch Series 10. On the right, I have the Apple Watch 11. This year, it's about

00:56what's happening inside the watch. There are two other upgrades besides battery life I think

01:00worth pointing out. First up, we are upgrading for cellular connectivity from LTE to 5G. Finally,

01:07that's going to be available through most major carriers around the world. And look at that. We

01:11still got our noise notifications on because I am yelling into this watch. It's noisy here in the

01:16hands-on area, folks. So I talked battery life. I talked 5G. Let's talk health because now the

01:21Apple Watch Series 11 is the first consumer smartwatch to detect for hypertension. That is

01:27high blood pressure. They're not calling it a blood pressure monitor or outright blood pressure

01:32monitoring. Instead, when you wear the watch for 30 days, your watch will be able to detect based

01:38on your blood movement if you have signs of possible hypertension. You know, that's a very Apple

01:44way of explaining things. That basically just means this can detect something that you could then go

01:48to your doctor to get further direction on. Of course, you still get heart rate monitoring and

01:53now we have blood oxygen monitoring back. And that also plays a role in the new sleep score. That is

01:59a new feature joining Apple's sleep tracker suite of features. You know, we've had things that detect

02:06your different sleep cycles before, but now you're actually going to get a score 1 through 100 so you

02:10can be competitive with your friends, see who's getting a better night's sleep. Personally, for me,

02:14I'm a little scared to see my score these days. Please don't judge me when we get a full review on

02:19that. But that's still a nice little addition that a lot of other smartwatches have had for a while,

02:23but still nice to see. We've got two new watch faces this year. The standout one is Flow. It's

02:29giving liquid glass, which of course goes with the watch OS 26 software update on this phone. And then we

02:36also got Xactograph. I think I am partial to Flow, but Xactograph is a nice complication rich watch face

02:46if you're the type who needs to have all the information right there on the wrist.

02:54Now we're taking a look at the Apple Watch Ultra 3. We got an Apple Watch Ultra then two and then Apple

02:59skipped a year, came out with the, you know, black version of it. And now we have Apple Watch Ultra 3 with

03:04some incremental upgrades, just like the Apple Watch 11 gets more battery life. So does the Apple

03:09Watch Ultra 3, not counting low power mode up to 42 hours of battery life on a charge with the Apple

03:17Watch Ultra 3. So needless to say, that's going to remain one of the strongest selling points of that

03:23$799 price tag. Remember with that price, it's inclusive with support for cellular service. Again,

03:29we're going up from LTE to 5G, but it doesn't stop there. Apple Watch Ultra 3 has satellite connectivity.

03:37Not only does that give this watch the same type of security features that you get with

03:42the satellite SOS on iPhone, but it also means that you can use features like your waypoints and even

03:49messaging when you're connected to satellite. Three huge benefits to having satellite connectivity.

03:54One, safety. If you're lost connection and you need emergency SOS, you'll be able to call it.

04:00Two, messages. You can still, you know, send some messages if you're out on hikes,

04:05out in the wilderness, want to just let your friends know you're doing okay. And three,

04:08you'll be able to track back to your waypoints that you set, so you can get yourself back to

04:12where you started. Also a really minor upgrade. I don't think I can even really see it, but apparently

04:17the display is bigger without the chassis actually being bigger. They've just narrowed the bezels a little

04:24bit around the screen, but it's still that same flat screen with the action button on the side,

04:29loud speaker, protected side over here, and of course that titanium build.

04:38So that's pretty much it guys. That's all I can tell you for now about the Apple Watch Series 11

04:42and Apple Watch Ultra 3. I said up top in the video, I'm going to be doing a comparison very soon of all

04:49the watches to help you decide which one is right for you. But what's caught your eye so far? This

04:54is just going based off what I've seen in comments. I think a lot of people are planning to do a

04:58flagship upgrade this year, but the Apple Watch Ultra is still very popular, and I am sure the Apple

05:03Watch Ultra 3 is going to be on a lot of wish lists come the holidays. And hey, I'm always happy to see

05:08the Apple Watch SE get a refresh. I mean, always on display. That was the huge upgrade that I think was

05:13missing from the last one, but that's just one of the many features that make that $250 watch a pretty

05:19great value. Drop your first impressions in the chat. Thanks for joining us here at Apple Park for

05:24the first look at the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. That's it from me. I'll catch you

05:29guys next time.
