Apple Watch Series 11 Hits First-Time Low of $299

The newly launched Apple Watch Series 11 is now available at a price lower than even the best deals we saw during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Amazon currently offers several models for just $299, a $100 discount off the retail price. This is $30 cheaper than the Cyber Monday price, setting a new record low from what we've observed. Upgrading to this Apple Watch is a smart move if you're still using an Apple Watch 8 or an older model, and it also makes an excellent gift for any iPhone user.

For iOS users, the Apple Watch remains the undisputed leader in smartwatches. It's stylish, features superb build quality, excels as both a fitness tracker and smart device, and integrates perfectly with your iPhone.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is the current flagship model. The most notable upgrade is the addition of 5G connectivity for cellular versions, though the models on sale here are GPS-only. Other improvements include a screen with "2X more scratch-resistant" Ion-X glass, a brighter display capable of reaching 2,000 nits, and 33% longer battery life. Key software features encompass hypertension monitoring, sleep scoring, and an Apple Intelligence-powered "Workout Buddy" for exercise motivation. It's powered by the same S10 chip found in the Apple Watch Series 10, which is essentially an optimized version of the chip from the Series 9 for enhanced performance and efficiency.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with an Android Phone?

While it's technically possible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we don't recommend it. Apple designed the watch so that its core functionality depends on being connected to an iPhone. Although some features can be enabled through workarounds, the effort required generally isn't worthwhile for most users. If you're determined to own an Apple Watch, purchasing an iPhone first is your best bet.
