Apple has once again set the tech world buzzing with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 11, a device that brings several key upgrades to the table. As is the case with every new iteration, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether the new features are compelling enough to justify an upgrade from the previous model. With the Series 11 introducing significant improvements in battery life, 5G connectivity, and health-focused features like a “Sleep Score,” the debate between sticking with the capable Series 10 or making the jump to the newest offering is more relevant than ever. This new release, which arrives alongside the much-anticipated iPhone 17 series, offers a clear path forward for those on older watches but presents a more nuanced decision for recent upgraders.The Series 11 makes a big jump in key areas like: • Sleep Score: Apple has finally implemented a sleep score, which is a simple figure that tells you how well you slept. It uses years of sleep data and medical studies, so it seems more serious than just keeping track of how many hours you sleep.• Battery Life: The Apple Watch has always had trouble with this, but Series 11 gives it 24 hours of battery life. That’s a huge issue for folks who want to keep track of their sleep without having to charge their devices twice a day.• Tougher Glass: The aluminium models now come with Ion-X glass that is twice as scratch-resistant. The titanium models still use a sapphire crystal.• 5G Support: Yes, Apple Watch is finally going to 5G cellular. This means that when your iPhone isn’t around, you’ll get faster data and stronger connections.• Workout Buddy: A new AI-powered coach who talks to you while you work out and gives you personalised motivation based on your heart rate, pace, and past workouts.Keep in mind that Series 10 was a huge improvement over preceding models. It was slimmer and lighter, and it had the biggest screen Apple has ever put on a watch. Some of the best parts are:• Sensors for water depth and temperature: Great for surfers, snorkelers, and swimmers.• The quickest charging yet: In just 15 minutes, you may charge it up enough to use it for hours or track your sleep all night.• Wide-Angle OLED Display: Makes everything brighter and easier to read from different angles.• watchOS 11 has a Vitals app, better fitness monitoring, customizable rings, and more.• The battery life goes from 18 hours in Series 10 to 24 hours in Series 11.• Sleep tracking goes from alerts for apnea to full sleep scores.• In Series 11, 5G makes connections better, while in Series 10, 4G stays the same.• Ion-X glass in Series 11 makes the product more durable by being scratch-resistant. The two watches seem almost the same in terms of design, with the same 42mm and 46mm sizes and finishes.Here’s the basic truth. If you already possess a Series 10, you’re still in terrific shape. That watch has a big screen, charges quickly, and has health features that are still cutting-edge. You can skip this stage if you don’t need 24-hour battery life or 5G. The Series 11 is a better choice if you’re coming from a Series 9 or older. You get a watch that will last longer, has stronger glass, better sleep tracking, and a longer battery life.Both Series 10 and Series 11 start at Rs 46,900, while the SE variant costs Rs 24,900. On September 19, Series 11 will be in stores. Series 10 will still be available for people who are okay with fewer features at the lower price.The bottom line is that Series 11 is a good improvement, but Series 10 customers don’t have to get it. This year’s Apple Watch finally seems like the whole package, but only if your watch is older.Read More: iPhone 17 Launched: These iPhones Are Now Discontinued and You Can’t Buy
