It was the first thing the presenters mentioned, and it's the first slide on on the Apple site."

It's even fully equipped with GPS and cellular."
Apple introduced hypertension notifications for the Apple Watch 11. The feature was noted as being under FDA review as of September 9, 2025, with expected clearance within the month. Availability is specified for Apple Watch Series 9 and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later. The Series 9 is described as fully functional, with good battery life, GPS, and cellular, reducing urgency to upgrade solely for the health feature.
