The Apple Watch Series 10 disappointed some users last year. After hearing about major design changes for a while, the new Apple Watch has proven more or less identical to that sold in recent years. The display was just a little larger and the body was slightly thinner, but overall it was very similar to the 9 series.
At this stage, the extremely successful Apple watch is a proven formula and the company does not rock the boat. So what's in store for Apple Watch Series 11 in the fall of 2025? Here is what we have heard so far on the Apple Watch Series 11.
Apple Watch Series 11: release date
For years, Apple has announced the new Apple Watch with the new iPhone at a September event, the two products on sale the following week. We have heard nothing to make us think that this will not be the case this year.
The most likely date is the second Tuesday in September, which is September 9. Pre -orders from Apple Watch Series 11 will probably start this Friday, September 12 with general availability in stores a week later (September 19).
Apple Watch Series 11: Price
From the Apple Watch Series 3, Apple has maintained the starting prices in the same way for the Apple Watch in aluminum and we do not expect an increase in prices this year. This means that series 11 will start at $ 399 and that the larger version will cost $ 429, with an additional $ 100 for cell capacity and higher prices for various groups.
With series 10, Apple also offered a titanium case for $ 699 / $ 749, which includes LTE as The Ultra. Rumors suggest that Apple will keep this option with the series 11, probably at the same price.
However, no discussion on the future pricing of Apple products is complete without mentioning the American prices, which change quickly and could have a significant impact on prices. It is simply too difficult to predict whether the prices will increase the price of the Apple Watch, the chances are important.
The Apple Watch Series 11 should be almost identical to the 10 series.

Apple Watch Series 11: Design
The rumors throughout 2024 told us to expect more important changes in Apple Watch's design last year, then the 10 series made its debut and that looked like a very slightly flattened series 9.
This year, there are not even rumors of major design changes. Currently, all the signs indicate an Apple Watch which is apparently identical to the 10 series, with the possible exception of new colors, perhaps the sky blue to correspond to the MacBook Air and the iPhone 17.
Apple Watch Series 11: New features
Apple has been working on the integration of a microlite screen on the Apple Watch for several years, according to various leaks and rumors, but it should not make its debut on the 11 series this year. Some believe that this change of display will first arrive on Apple Watch Ultra, but even this is not planned in 2025.
We do not expect new health sensors either. The Apple blood sugar surveillance initiative is still years by ending in a watch, it seems, and although there have been rumors of high monitoring of hypertension, it is not enough Ready to appear this year either.
So what will be new? You can bet on a new S11 SIP (System in package), offering somewhat better performance. Do not expect a big boost in the life of the battery, however, it was almost constant 18 hours for almost all the life of the watch.

Apple Intelligence is a key aspect of almost all new Apple products now, and rumors suggest that Apple is working to bring Apple Watch features. Real AI models will probably not be able to operate on the watch; On the contrary, the watch will collect data, the processing will be made on your iPhone, then the watch will display the results or notifications.
Many of the new features of AI will probably make its debut as part of Watchos 12, but some could be kept as exclusives of the 11 series to help differentiate the equipment.
It is also said that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will take care of the 5G cell and satellite messaging, which could also arrive at the series 11. Apple made its debut on a wireless chip in the iPhone 16th, but it is not clear if it is still small or effective for the Apple Watch.
Apple Watch SE: Is something new in progress?
Apple has not updated the Apple Watch SE since 2022 and this update was extremely minor, bringing a new chip and a crash detection with a price lower of $ 249. It was initially said that 2024 would bring a substantial update to the budgetary watch with a plastic overhaul, but that did not happen. Then, Mark Gurman de Bloomberg reported that a plastic overhaul would happen in 2025, the series 11.
However, a rumor in March said that the new Apple Watch had encountered production problems and was “seriously in danger”. Apple may therefore have to go to an aluminum design for the new SE or stick to the current model for another year.

Series 11 is probably a “10 series”
We have criticized the Apple Watch Series 8 to be largely the same as series 7, and series 9 to be almost identical to series 8. It seems that it could be another of these years, where there are only very minor changes to the Apple Watch that you will not even notice in everyday life.
This does not mean that it is a bad watch, or that Apple is in difficulty. There is practically no competition for the Apple Watch, and as long as Apple continues to progress with the features of Watchos software, it is likely to continue to sell many Apple watches. But if you hope for a major change in Apple Watch equipment, you will probably have to wait a year or more.
