CONSLUSIE: Apple Watch Series 11 Innovations
The Apple Watch Series 11 mainly offers a better battery life, 5G, but the only real renewal is the ION-X glass that is 2 times as resistant to scratches as that of the previous generation with aluminum cupboard. Series 10 brought the considerably improved design, screen and faster charging to Series 9.
Because Watchos 26 brings a lot of new possibilities to the Apple Watch, including warnings for high blood pressure and a sleep score, this is no reason to purchase a new model.
