Apple Watch Series 11 Delivers the Quiet Push New Year’s Resolutions Actually Need

In January, many people get off to a good start by setting goals for better health habits or just getting to their destinations on time. It all boils down to consistency rather than making a huge adjustment, which is where the Apple Watch Series 11, priced at $299 (was $399), comes in handy. It now stays on your wrist at all times and does not require you to fuss with it continually. By combining dependable tracking, subtle reminders, and a longer battery life, it makes making progress each day feel effortless rather than arduous.

The battery life is an immediate game changer, as users can now go up to 24 hours without needing to recharge. Earlier models required a nightly charge even if you were only pottering around. Series 11 turns that on its head. Do you require an emergency recharge? 15 minutes will give you 8 more hours. That’s peace of mind for your early morning workout or long commute. It eliminates one of the little impediments to wearing it every day, which is significant when attempting to develop new habits.

Health tracking addresses all of the basics without feeling like a chore. The watch constantly monitors your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, wrist temperature, and other vital signs. And the additional features are fairly cool, too, such as notifications if your blood pressure appears to be off. It’s all done in the background, with the watch silently monitoring it and sending you a notification if you need to rest. Sleep tracking even provides you with a sleep score to help you determine how well you slept, and getting enough sleep can make it easier to stick to your workout regimen. Again, all of this information is provided without the need for you to tap anything; simply wear the watch and let it do its job.

The fitness elements focus on making exercise a habit in practical ways. Activity rings display how many calories you’ve burned, how long you’ve exercised, and how long you’ve been on your feet, and shutting those rings may become a rewarding little ritual for many. Workouts include almost any form of activity you can think of, from running to swimming and even yoga. The watch even allows you to create custom routines with intervals, warm-ups, and recuperation periods because it is so adaptable. Training load will inform you how your body is adjusting over time, and the new Workout Buddy, which is driven by your watch, will provide you with individualized feedback during sessions depending on how well you’ve performed previously. Want to start walking again or ease back into lifting? This could be the boost you need.

The Series 11 also provides some minor but useful help with punctuality. Your watch will vibrate just as you are about to depart, reminding you of that meeting or appointment you must miss. Reminders for upcoming events appear automatically. The always-on display allows you to check the time and any new messages without lifting your arm, and you can dismiss notifications with a wrist gesture or return to the watch face in a moment.
