In September, Apple launched its latest batch of smartwatches, including the Apple Watch Series 11, the SE 3, and the Ultra 3. Each has its own pros and cons, and the expanded lineup means more deals are available.
Generally, you’ll want to buy the newest watch you can afford so it continues to receive software updates. The latest update, watchOS 26, launched in September on the Series 6 and newer models, leaving Series 5 and older devices behind. Picking a watch from the latest (or a recent) generation ensures a future‑proof smartwatch with an updated design, robust feature set, and plenty of sensors.

The SE 3 upgrades the 2022 predecessor with the same S10 chip found in flagship models, enabling double‑tap, wrist‑flick gestures, and on‑device Siri. It adds an always‑on display, 5G, fast‑charging, audio playback, a wrist‑temperature sensor for ovulation tracking, breathing disturbance alerts, sleep‑apnea notifications, and a new Sleep Score. It lacks the EKG, blood‑oxygen, and hypertension features of the Series 11 and Ultra models.
