Still looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift? Well, if you or the loved one you're shopping for is an Apple user already, and is an active person, consider the Apple Watch 11.
It's just dropped to it's lowest price yet in Australia, starting from just AU$547 for the 42mm chassis of the GPS-only model. That's a saving of AU$132, but some models are AU$130 off.
I wear the Apple Watch Series 11 myself and I love it, even though I can't use the blood pressure monitoring feature just yet in Australia. It will come, though, because Apple has applied for approval – it's just a matter of time.
Until then, it offers all you could need to encourage you to walk more, work out regularly, and do all those good things in life that you sometimes need some motivation to achieve. It has a durable display, very good battery life, and it works well with an iPhone. And there's a new Sleep Score feature to take advantage of. Hand-free gesture control has also been passed down from the Apple Watch 10.
Our Apple Watch Series 11 review gave it a very respectable four stars out of five, calling it “a mainline Apple Watch that can go the distance.” While it offers “no major performance gains year over year,” it provides a “bigger battery” and a “more durable display that’s still vibrant and rich.” This bigger display now makes it a lot easier to use the Messages app on the Apple Watch.
The bigger battery is relative, though. It lasts a lot longer than any Apple Watch before it, but not as long as, say, the Garmin wearables. However, it's such a powerful tool with seamless compatibility to your iPhone that it really doesn't matter.
Moreover, watchOS 26 gives it a fresh feel that truly highlights its health features, especially the new Sleep Score functionality. All this makes it the best smartwatch for iPhone.
