Sleep tracking is improved with the new Sleep Score, although I’d hardly call this feature revolutionary – Apple must be the last wearable on planet earth to introduce it! Sleep duration, bed time consistency, and interruption data provides you a sleep score out of 100, underpinned with insights from sleep experts.
Finally, the standout feature: 24 hours of battery life! Finally, an upgrade from the old, paltry 18 hours. The Apple Watch Series 11 is available in Jet Black, Rose Gold and Space grey, and users have the option of 100% recycled aluminum or titanium, plus new colors for bands and loops, new Hermes bands. It starts at $399 (around £300 / AU$600).

2. Apple Watch Ultra 3

Yes, it looks the same at first glance, but there’s more going on under the hood. A new wide-angle OLED display means a brighter, increased screen area without changing the case size, making it the largest display ever on an Apple Watch.
The display refreshes more often in always-on mode, and showcases a new Waypoint watch face. Like the Series 11, it offers 5G cellular, and as rumored, satellite connectivity. Just a few taps gathers critical information and offers emergency messaging features, and to enable satellite connectivity the in-watch radio has been redesigned to double signal strength.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 also gets a battery life boost, with Apple promising a massive 42 hours battery life. Case options are the sexy Titanium Black introduced last year, along with the brushed Natural Titanium of previous editions. This titanium is 100% recycled, and said to be crafted using an innovative 3D printing process. It also gets new band colors, and the aforementioned new Hypertension and Sleep Score features. Pricing starts at $799 (around £700 / AU$1,200).
3. Apple Watch SE 3

Offering core features and benefits of an Apple Watch at its most affordable price, the SE 3 upgrade gets the same powerful chip as the current-gen Apple Watches, the S10. It offers always-on display, and supports gestures such as the double-tap and wrist-flick introduced in previous years.
The SE 3 adds more wellness features, like wrist temperature sensing (enabling cycle tracking), the vitals app, sleep apnea detection and Sleep Score. It even plays media!
There’s no increase in battery life with the SE 3 stuck at 18 hours like its predecessor, but it does get fast charging – just 15 mins of juice adds eight hours. The Apple Watch SE 3 comes in Starlight and Midnight, and starts at $249 (around £200 / AU$375).
4. AirPods Pro 3

More people work out with the AirPods Pro than any other headphones in the world, and Apple has leaned into that with the new AirPods 3 Pro, which feature heart rate sensing during workouts. Apple’s smallest heart rate sensor is included in these tiny headphones, and uses machine learning algorithms to process data from sensors and accelerometers.
The AirPods Pro 3 can be used with the Workout app, along with Apple Fitness+, gathering data just like an Apple Watch. You can earn badges and close movement rings, track workouts in the gym from apps like Ladder, and even use the AI Workout Buddy – all without a watch.
