Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 11, the thinnest model yet, featuring new health tools, better durability, and 5G support. The headline feature is the sleep score, which gives users a clear way to measure their rest quality. The watch now runs up to 24 hours on a charge, with fast charging for quick top-ups.
The Series 11 starts at AED 1,599 in the UAE and will be available from September 19, along with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Apple Watch SE 3.

Longer battery life and faster charging
Apple Watch Series 11 now lasts up to 24 hours. That means most people can get a full day and night of use before recharging.
- 24 hours of battery life
- 15 minutes of charging = 8 hours of use
- Supports fast charging
This makes overnight sleep tracking easier without worrying about charging during the day. Fast charging also means the watch is ready to go even if you forget to plug it in overnight.
Tougher Ion-X glass and titanium options
Apple says the Series 11 is twice as scratch-resistant as before, thanks to new Ion-X strengthened glass. Titanium models use sapphire crystal, which is even more resistant to scratches and cracks.
- Aluminium models: Ion-X glass with ceramic coating
- Titanium models: sapphire crystal
- Same thin, comfortable design
This is good news for people who wear their watch to the gym, beach, or while swimming, since scratches and cracks are less likely.
Sleep score makes rest easier to understand
Sleep tracking is already popular on Apple Watch, but the Series 11 adds a new sleep score feature. It uses data like heart rate, oxygen levels and sleep stages to give users a simple number that reflects overall sleep quality.
- Sleep duration
- Bedtime consistency
- Time in sleep stages
- Night-time wakeups
The score is based on guidance from leading sleep health groups and Apple’s own research. Users can see their score in the Health app, on the watch face, or track it over time to improve sleep habits.
Fitness gets smarter with Workout Buddy
The new Workout Buddy uses Apple Intelligence to give personalised motivation during workouts. It analyses heart rate, distance and pace, then provides spoken feedback through Bluetooth headphones.
- Customised workouts in the Fitness app
- Automatic music and podcast suggestions
- Pacer and Race Route tools
Workout Buddy currently supports English and works with popular exercise types, making the watch more useful as a personal trainer on the wrist.
