Amazon Prime Day has brought the Apple Watch Series 11 down to its lowest price ever, with select models starting at $279 for the 42mm size and $309 for the 46mm size. This represents a $20 decrease from previous low prices and is $120 cheaper than purchasing directly from Apple.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is considered the best smartwatch for most iPhone users, praised for its stylish design, robust build quality, and seamless integration with iOS devices. It offers a comprehensive suite of health and fitness features, including activity tracking and heart rate monitoring. New additions for the Series 11 include an "Apple Intelligence" powered "Workout Buddy" feature for exercise motivation, hypertension notifications, and a sleep score to assess sleep quality. Hardware improvements feature a brighter, more scratch-resistant display and a 33% increase in battery life.
While it is technically possible to connect an Apple Watch to an Android phone, its functionality is significantly limited without an iOS device. Workarounds exist for some features, but the overall experience is generally not recommended for average users. For optimal Apple Watch performance, an iPhone is advised.
