The eleventh-generation Apple Watch was introduced on September 9, 2025, alongside the third-generation Apple Watch Ultra and SE, and was released on September 19, 2025. The Apple Watch Series 11 additionally added the Space Gray color option, in addition to the existing Jet Black, Rose Gold, and Silver color options that were introduced with the Apple Watch Series 10. The third-generation Apple Watch SE is the first Apple Watch model since the Apple Watch Series 7 to not come in the silver color option. It is the first Apple Watch SE model to feature the Always-On display technology. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 has the same enclosure design as its predecessors. As the Apple Watch Series 10 did, all three eleventh generation Apple Watches use the Apple S10 chip, and are the first Apple Watches to employ 5G connectivity. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 supports connectivity to satellites to send messages. The Apple Watch Series 11 also introduced an FDA-cleared hypertension notifications feature, which was trained on 9,800 participants to detect signs of high blood pressure by looking at the shape and speed of the pulse wave and a deep learning algorithm.
