Apple's baseline Apple Watch Series 11 is the smartwatch that hobbyist health trackers and small wrists should buy, with a starting price of $399. Also: Apple Events live updates: iPhone 17, iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3, and new wearables just unveiled Apple's rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 offers advanced satellite communication functionalities built for off-grid hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. It also has the largest screen yet and the longest battery life of the lineup, at 42 hours.

Apple's new iPhone Air contains more recycled titanium than any of its predecessors, the company announced at the Tuesday Keynote. It's using 80 percent recycled titanium. The phone as a whole is made with 35 percent recycled material by weight, compared to 30 percent recycled material for the iPhone 17. The company's latest lineup of watches also boast higher proportions of recycled content.

Apple is said to equip the Watch Series 11 with a new MediaTek modem technology. If this is true, it might enable the smartwatch variant to offer 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) support, allowing it to offer improved battery life. Apple's new S11 chip is rumoured to power the Watch Series 11, which is reportedly produced on the same architecture as the S9 and S10 chips.

You could argue that the Apple Watch doesn't need to change much because people already love it. It is, after all, the most popular watch in the world. Except market research firm Counterpoint recently reported that in 2024 - ironically, the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch - marked the first-ever decline in the global smartwatch market. It said Apple Watch shipments fell by 19 percent year over year, marking five straight quarters of declines due to decreased consumer demand, fewer models to choose from, and fewer substantial upgrades.

Not only is this watch box sleek and useful (especially for traveling), but it can be personalized too. You can add the initials on the exterior to make them feel extra special. A timepiece on your wrist isn't always enough. This classic analog alarm clock has a retro, nostalgic feel that makes waking up in the morning feel a little bit better.

The Apple Watch 11C concept asks a compelling question: what if Cupertino decided to revisit that moment of accessible joy, only this time on your wrist? This isn't a real product (at least, not yet), but rather a playful reimagining that brings the "C" philosophy back to Apple's wearable lineup. The result looks as if it leaped off a Lisa Frank notebook and onto your arm, radiating the same energy that made the original 5C phones so memorable.

Apple has been marketing its newest smartwatches as being carbon-neutral for nearly two years now, with an array of rationales. It claims that clean energy for manufacturing, along with greener materials and shipping, lop around three-quarters off the carbon emissions for each model of the Apple Watch. The remaining emissions are offset by the purchase of carbon credits, according to Apple.

According to the court document shared by Bloomberg Law, Masimo has filed a lawsuit against the US CBP for reversing its January 2024 order that forced Apple to disable the Blood Oxygen measurement feature in the US. The company has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court of the District of Columbia, alleging that the US CBP, in its August 1 ruling, did not justify the reversal of its stand on the issue.

Apple Inc. is set to restore the blood oxygen tracking feature on its smartwatch in the US, following a years-long legal battle with Masimo Corp.

Blood oxygen data will now be measured and calculated on the user's paired iPhone, with results accessible only in the Respiratory section of the Health app.

Apple is set to announce its new hardware at an annual September event, historically held around the second week, including updates for the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is available at all-time low prices: the 42mm aluminum GPS model for $279.99 and the 46mm model for $309, both $120 off.

The Straight Edge Link band in gold brings a striking presence to the wrist. Its rich finish and clean design echo the look of classic timepieces, giving the Apple Watch an upscale twist.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 delivers the definitive smartwatch experience, boasting a tough exterior and a multitude of features that enhance usability and durability.

I noticed that the adhesive holding down the end tabs was lifting, but I saw there was stitching underneath, so I didn't worry about it.

The Spigen Apple Watch Classic C1 Charger Stand offers a unique design inspired by the iMac G3, enhancing functionality and viewing comfort while charging.
