Apple Watch Series 11 Gets 30% Discount—Best Price of the Year So Far
The Apple Watch Series 11 is now available for $279, 30% off its regular price and $20 below its previous lowest price this year. The watch has received high praise for its battery life and health features.
The WIRED Reviews team is enthusiastic about smartwatches and fitness trackers because they allow quick actions like reading messages or controlling music without pulling out a phone. They also track workouts, heart rate, and other health metrics.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is considered the best Apple Watch for most people, especially iPhone users. Its MSRP is $399, with a typical sale price of $299. Currently, it is available for $279—$20 below its lowest price this year. It is not expected to drop this low again until Black Friday.
WIRED gave the Series 11 a 9/10 rating, highlighting its long battery life, iOS-integrated health updates, satellite messaging for off-grid communication, and blood oxygen monitoring. Previous models suffered from short battery life, but this watch lasts a full 24 hours, enabling more accurate tracking of workouts and sleep.
The watch includes standard fitness and workout tracking features such as heart rate monitoring, sleep score, vitals, and cycle tracking. A new AI-powered Workout Buddy acts as an invisible fitness coach. The Series 11 also offers advanced health features like monitoring for signs of hypertension, taking electrocardiograms, and measuring blood oxygen levels. Safety features include FDA-cleared high blood pressure notifications, Fall Detection, and satellite messaging (on cellular models).
While not every new Apple iteration is worth upgrading to, the Series 11—almost a year after launch—remains the best smartwatch and fitness tracker for hands-free phone use and health monitoring. At 30% off ($120 less than the lowest price this year), now is the best time to buy.
