As Apple’s annual September “Awe Dropping” event approaches, excitement is building around potential updates to its wearable lineup. Set for September 9, 2025, at Apple Park, this event is expected to spotlight the iPhone 17 series but also refresh the Apple Watch family. While Apple keeps details under wraps, leaks and reports from reliable sources offer a glimpse into what might be unveiled.
Apple Watch Series 11
The Apple Watch Series 11 is rumored to build on the Series 10’s foundation, emphasizing efficiency and health monitoring rather than a radical redesign. Expect a similar slim, flat-edged look with sizes 42mm and 46mm.
Key features include:
- A new S11 chip for better performance and power efficiency, though it may stick to the same architecture as recent models.
- An upgraded display, possibly using more energy-efficient LTPO technology or even micro-LED for brighter screens and extended battery life.
- Advanced health tools like blood pressure monitoring, which could alert users to hypertension trends, and a new sleep score feature.
- 5G connectivity to reduce reliance on your iPhone, plus watchOS 26 enhancements such as AI-driven “Workout Buddy” for personalized exercise feedback and context-aware Siri.
Pricing expected to start at $799.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
For those seeking a more durable option, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is tipped to refine its predecessor’s rugged design without major overhauls. It may feature a slightly larger 2.12-inch LTPO3 OLED display for improved visibility.
Highlights include:
- A powerful chip update, potentially the S10 or S11 with a four-core neural engine, boosting efficiency and AI capabilities.
- Satellite connectivity for emergency messaging in remote areas, paired with 5G support for faster data.
- Health advancements like blood pressure monitoring and the return of blood oxygen sensing.
- Enhanced battery life and faster charging, ideal for extended outdoor use, plus watchOS 26’s Workout Buddy
Pricing expected to start at $799; it may rely on iPhone for full AI features.
Apple Watch SE 3
Details on the Apple Watch SE 3 are scarcer, but it’s expected to round out the lineup as an affordable entry point. Rumors suggest an updated chip for better performance, along with core health features like heart rate monitoring. Pricing could start at $249, making it a solid choice for first-time users or those upgrading from older models. While not as feature-packed as the Series 11 or Ultra, it may still benefit from watchOS 26 updates.
