If you’re about to buy an Apple Watch right now, you may want to pause – the next big upgrade is almost here. Apple’s September event, rumored for September 9, is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 11, alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Apple Watch SE 3.
The Series 11 is tipped to include a faster S11 chip, a new MediaTek modem with 5G support, and even blood pressure monitoring, according to leaks.
While the design may look familiar, expect a more energy-efficient, brighter display that could significantly improve battery life.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3, the much-anticipated follow-up to the Ultra 2, may feature a larger wide-angle OLED screen, upgraded health and wellness features, satellite connectivity, and a new processor. Meanwhile, the entry-level Apple Watch SE 3 is rumored to arrive for budget-conscious buyers, offering a modern experience without the most advanced sensors or performance specs.
If you’re not chasing the newest tech, older models like the Series 8, Series 7, or the current SE still deliver excellent value. They’ll keep receiving software updates for years, and still offer essentials like notifications, fitness tracking, and heart rate monitoring.
However, for those who want cutting-edge health features, faster performance, and the longest battery life, waiting a few weeks for the Series 11, Ultra 3, or SE 3 could be worth it. With the official reveal just around the corner, now might be the time to hold off and see what Apple brings to the table.
