"The new contenders include the base model Series 11, the affordable SE 3, and the luxurious and rugged Ultra 3. While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 receive standout features including Hypertension Detection, Emergency SOS via satellite, increased battery life, and Sleep Scores, older smartwatches also got a facelift following the new product debut. Thanks to WatchOS 26, Apple Watches Series 9 and later and Ultra 2 and later get the same software as the latest lineup."
"In fact, Apple Watch Series 10, the one-year-old base model smartwatch is equally, if not better a buy than the SE 3 (or maybe even the Series 11). As October Prime Day deals begin to roll in, Amazon and other retailers might cut the price of the Series 10 down even further ( it's on sale for $329 right now, down $70 from its original price ), making an even greater case for buying this smartwatch over its newer siblings."
"The Series 11 also has the same S10 chip as the Series 10, so you aren't getting any more advanced chip hardware when you opt for the newer device. The only real difference in hardware is the battery life -- the Series 11 gets six more hours than the Series 10, thanks to battery reconfiguration the Apple Watch team performed on the device. That difference in battery life is the only real differentiator, in my eyes, between the Series 10 and Series 11."
Apple introduced three new smartwatches: Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3, with Series 11 and Ultra 3 adding Hypertension Detection, Emergency SOS via satellite, increased battery life, and Sleep Scores. WatchOS 26 delivers the same software to Series 9 and later and Ultra 2 and later. The Series 11 shares the same form factor and S10 chip as Series 10, with the only substantial hardware change being roughly six extra hours of battery life due to internal reconfiguration. Aggressive discounts on Series 10 can make the one-year-old model a more compelling purchase than newer, higher-priced options.
