In the fall of 2025, the most technologically advanced Apple watch ever – Apple Watch Series 11 – is coming - with blood pressure measurement, artificial intelligence, and still too weak a battery.
Although Apple keeps its products secret until the last second, rumors have leaked out in recent months that all point in the same direction: Apple Watch Series 11 will be an update focused primarily on health functionsThe potential introduction of the most attention-grabbing blood pressure monitoring, which would alert users to sudden changes and possible signs of hypertension – something that has so far only worked as a promise of the future. Apple is said to be using a non-invasive method with the new Apple Watch Series 11, which measures changes on the wrist and does not require an inflatable cuff, but it is not yet clear how accurate this solution will be.
Blood oxygen measurement may be temporarily unavailable due to legal disputes while glucometer – a big wish of many users – is still a few generations away. But if Apple really manages to build blood pressure measurement into a thin, stylish piece of electronics like the Apple Watch Series 11, it will be one of the major technological milestones of this year.
Apple Watch Series 11; same design, smarter content
The appearance of the Series 11 will almost certainly be very similar to the Series 10 – as the latter already got a larger screen, thinner bezels and better brightness last year. We can also expect this year display with LTPO OLED technology, which will be brighter and more energy efficient, although the transition to MicroLED remains for the future (and probably for the Ultra models). Although it seems that the Ultra model will not see a new version until 2026.
Following Apple's "if it ain't broke, don't change it" philosophy, the Apple Watch Series 11 will remain recognizably square, minimalist, and compatible with existing bands. We may get a new color variant or a different case material, but don't expect any major aesthetic surprises this year. The watch will look the same at first glance - but it's a lot smarter under the hood.
Smarter than ever (thanks to artificial intelligence)
watchOS 12, which will be presented at WWDC 2025, is expected to be the first version of the system to fully integrate Apple IntelligenceThis means the watch will get more advanced, contextual smart assistance – Siri will be less robotic, more responsive, and perhaps finally useful. Artificial intelligence It will help analyze your health data, suggest improvements to your habits, and remind you that you've slept less than five hours for the third time this week. Don't blame it if it's right.
New chip S11 will run all of these features faster and more power-efficiently. The user interface will be smoother, apps will be more responsive, and the watch will be better able to process data on the device – without constantly sending it to the cloud.
The battery is still not a miracle – but it is faster
One of the biggest frustrations remains battery lifeDespite hopes that the new hardware will bring a step forward, rumors point to more or less the same result as the Series 10 - around 18 hours of use. With any luck, we'll see for the first time 24 hours without a power saving mode, but two-day autonomy still remains reserved for science fiction – or for the Ultra 3 model, which will probably go up to 96 hours in optimized mode.
At least charging will be fast: 0–80 % in half an hour, meaning you can charge it during your morning coffee or evening shower.
Apple Watch Series 11 price-conscious, unless you go for gold
The price will also remain very Apple-esque – translated: high, but expected. The base model will cost around 399 $, the larger 429 $, and the LTE version is around 499 $In Europe this will mean between 450 and 550 euros, depending on taxes and configuration.
If Apple adds new luxury versions (hello, titanium!), or perhaps brand new bands with built-in sensors, the price ceiling will be even higher – but most users will probably choose the basic aluminum model with a sport band and continue their fitness adventure where the previous model left off.
Conclusion: a watch that doesn't change everything – but does enough to make you want to upgrade
The Apple Watch Series 11 will likely be the watch with the best balance of evolution and usability ever. It won't be groundbreaking, it won't be revolutionary - but it will do exactly what Apple does best: take familiar features, improve them a little, and wrap them in a user experience that works without friction.
If you're looking for a true health watch with smart AI and a design that won't need to be hidden under your shirt, then the Series 11 will almost certainly not disappoint. And if the current Series 8 is enough for you? Well, maybe now is the time to take your heart rate and make up your mind.
