We’ve seen a lot of great Prime Day deals on wearables this year, from the Fitbit Charge 6 to the latest Apple Watch SE. But if you’re looking for advanced health features, the Apple Watch Series 11 is the one to check out, and it’s now down to its best price ever: $279 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart for the 42mm model. If you want a larger watch, the 46mm option is also down to a new low price of $309 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart.
While we think the Apple Watch SE — now just $199 ($50 off) — offers the best value for most people, the Series 11 is the model we’d recommend if health features are a priority. It offers capabilities you won’t find on the Apple Watch SE, including EKG support, atrial fibrillation detection, and FDA-cleared hypertension notifications. The larger battery is another advantage, lasting us nearly 48 hours in testing, so you can take full advantage of sleep tracking and sleep apnea detection. The bezels are smaller as well and the display is larger, making it easier to read at a glance, which is a welcome improvement for older adults or people with visual impairments.
Outside of its health features, the Series 11 retains everything we already like about Apple’s smartwatches. It supports handy gestures like double tap and wrist flick, an always-on display, and 5G connectivity, along with the usual smartwatch perks like support for Apple Pay. It’ll also be compatible with watchOS 27, which will introduce a variety of new Siri AI features and other software updates later this year.
