All about the new Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3
The latest generation of Apple Watches arrived, and for all you Apple lovers, the new lineup offers more power, health-tracking capabilities, and durability than ever before. At amble and strut, we’re excited to see these new devices hit the market, as they open up a world of possibilities for stylish and functional accessories. Let's dive into what's new and how these watches compare to their predecessors.

Apple Watch Series 11: a leap in endurance and durability

The Apple Watch Series 11 may look familiar, but it's the quiet improvements under the hood that make a significant difference. Compared to the former Series 10, the new model focuses on endurance and resilience.

  • Longer Battery Life: The most welcome upgrade is the extended battery life, officially rated for up to 24 hours—a notable bump from the Series 10’s 18-hour rating. This means more time on your wrist and less time on the charger.
  • Tougher Glass: For the aluminum models, Apple has introduced a new Ion-X glass that's twice as scratch-resistant as the Series 10, making it more durable for everyday wear.
  • 5G Connectivity: With the addition of 5G support, cellular models of the Series 11 offer faster downloads and more power-efficient connectivity, perfect for when you leave your iPhone behind.
  • Advanced Health Features: While some of the new software features like hypertension notifications and Sleep Score are coming to older models via watchOS 26, they are seamlessly integrated into the Series 11 from the start, offering a holistic health picture.

Apple Watch SE 3: The best value gets even better

The Apple Watch SE has always been the perfect entry point into the Apple Watch ecosystem, and the SE 3 takes this value proposition to a new level. It brings some of the most sought-after features of the premium models to a more accessible price point.

  • Always-On Display: A first for the SE series, the Always-On display lets you glance at the time and your complications without having to raise your wrist, a huge convenience upgrade from the SE 2.
  • Faster Charging: The SE 3 now supports fast charging, which means you can get up to 80% battery in about 45 minutes—a game-changer for quick top-ups.
  • Enhanced Durability: The new model features glass that is four times more crack-resistant than the previous generation.
  • New Health Sensors: The SE 3 introduces wrist temperature sensing, providing deeper insights for Cycle Tracking and overall wellness, a feature previously reserved for the higher-end models.

Apple Watch Ultra 3: The ultimate adventure companion

The Apple Watch Ultra is built for the extremes, and the Ultra 3 doubles down on its promise to be the ultimate adventure watch. It makes significant improvements in connectivity and battery life.

  • Satellite Communications: The most revolutionary new feature is satellite connectivity, which allows you to send an emergency distress message and share your location when you are off the grid. This is a crucial safety upgrade from the Ultra 2.
  • Extended Battery Life: The Ultra 3 boasts an incredible 42-hour battery life on a single charge, a notable six-hour increase over the Ultra 2, making it even more reliable for multi-day expeditions.
  • Larger and Brighter Display: Apple has managed to make the already-large Ultra screen even bigger by reducing the bezels, providing a more immersive and readable experience.

Whether you're looking for a device that can keep up with your daily life, your fitness goals, or your wildest adventures, the new Apple Watch lineup has a model for you. And for every Apple Watch, we have the best Apple accessories to match your style and needs.
