"Many of the features stayed the same from Series 10 to Series 11, but the most significant thing is Apple's chipset. Normally, it updates its chips every year, but the Series 11 keeps the S10 processor, the same chip as 2024's Series 10. Also: The 10 features that made me switch to the Apple Watch full-time When comparing the to the Ultra 3 or SE 3, battery life is one of the biggest differentiating factors."
"Apple says that in adding more battery life through an internal design change that replaced its jelly roll cells with a metal can design, it was able to keep the form factor of the watch the same and use 2024's chip to process the new device. This means that the build of the watch is identical to the Series 10."
"The screen brightness also remains the same at 2,000 nits, despite its competition, the Pixel Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 8, amping theirs up to 3,000 nits. You have to upgrade to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 to get a 3,000 nit screen in the Apple ecosystem. The new watches come in four colorways: Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and a new Space Gray. My band of choice is the Sport Loop, which I teste"
Series 11 retains the S10 processor used in Series 10 rather than introducing a new chipset. An internal redesign replaced jelly-roll battery cells with a metal-can design to increase battery capacity while preserving the same form factor. Battery life is approximately 24 hours for Series 11, 18 hours for SE 3, and 42 hours for Ultra 3. The display remains at 2,000 nits, while some competitors reach 3,000 nits; a 3,000-nit screen is available only on the Ultra 3. New colorways include Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and Space Gray, with Sport Loop offered as a band option.
