In other aspects, this latest version acts as a direct replacement to the Series 10, keeping pace in design, proportions and features, with most of its upgrades originating from watchOS.

The Series 11 additionally priced £30 lower in the UK, priced starting at £369 sterling (449 euros/399 dollars/679 Australian dollars), and sits above the recently updated £219 Watch SE in the budget category alongside the £749 Ultra 3 in the premium segment.

The surface features by glass that is double the scratch resistance as before, although not as hard as sapphire, which is reserved with the higher-end titanium models.

Energy storage show improvement in size by 9% and 11% with the smaller and 46mm watches in that order.

Bigger version lasted a good two days in our assessment featuring overnight analysis but without exercise.

Typical wearers can nearly be able to track two days and two nights prior to requiring power, which takes 66 minutes employing 20W or more powerful adapter (sold separately), reaching approximately three-quarters charge in 30 minutes.

When you participate in workouts, it will last about eight hours of tracking, adequate time to complete marathons or extended activities.

Options include of three voices, providing audio feedback through connected audio synced to the wearable for multiple workout categories, including walking, running or cycling.
