GoKawiilWhen Apple announced its latest Apple Watch models, the Ultra 3 was a long-awaited upgrade and the SE 3 became the surprise hit of the event.
And then there was the Series 11, the line's flagship, which looked a lot like its predecessor the Series 10 -- not just in appearance, but features, too. Although the specs are indeed close, they're not identical. I've put together all the details between the two smartwatches to help you decide whether it's worth getting the new one or looking at buying a discounted Series 10.
Let's compare the models side by side and tease out the finer details.
Pricing the Apple Watch Series 11
The Series 11 has kept the same price as the Series 10. It starts at $399 for the model with an aluminum body or $699 for one made of titanium.
Add $30 for the larger 46mm case size in aluminum, or $50 for titanium. Opting for a model with a cellular radio that connects independently to networks adds $100. And if you choose a band made of something other than rubber or textile -- a stainless steel link bracelet, for example -- the price climbs further. Unfortunately, you can't order just the watch case; you have to select a new band, even if it ends up in your drawer in favor of one you already own and prefer.
There's also a titanium Apple Watch Hermès model available in silver titanium in both sizes that starts at $1,249.
Apple no longer sells the Series 10, since the Series 11 replaces it, but you can still find refurbished Series 10 models for less from Apple, and new models from other retailers while supplies last.
