Hopefully Bestbuy didn’t ship it to me in this condition and I highly suspect fedex temp worker rummaged through my package as the bestbuy tape was cut and these are very poor method to reseal it so it’s painfully obvious that something happened somewhere. I was missing the box. It was supposed to be an excellent condition. However, the wristband was obviously worn as it was bent. The watch had itself had a few minute scratches on it. All the papers were thrown scattered all over in a huge box no way I could give this as a gift.

This watch is amazing! The design is sleek and comfortable, and the screen is bright and clear. It’s very easy to use and pairs perfectly with my phone. I love the health and fitness features—they help me stay active and track my day easily. Battery life is great, and everything runs smoothly. I’m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish smartwatch.

Sleek design with a premium feel. The Jet Black finish looks sharp, performance is smooth, and health and fitness tracking work flawlessly. Comfortable for all-day wear with solid battery life. A great Apple Watch upgrade.

I recently upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) 46mm Space Gray, and it has easily become my favorite device of 2025. The bigger 46mm display is bright, sharp, and much easier to read outdoors. The new health sensors feel more accurate, especially heart rate and sleep tracking — both noticeably improved from my older Apple Watch.
The performance is super smooth, apps open instantly, and the battery life is a solid upgrade. I’m consistently getting almost 2 days on a single charge with normal use. The Space Gray aluminum case looks premium, and the black M/L sport band is comfortable enough to wear all day, including during workouts.
Fitness tracking is incredibly reliable, and the new activity insights keep me motivated. Siri is faster, calls are clear, and the watch stays perfectly connected to my iPhone.
Overall, this is a fantastic upgrade and absolutely worth it if you want a powerful, stylish, and dependable smartwatch. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using the new Apple Watch for a short time and it has already become one of my favorite everyday devices. The design is sleek and comfortable, and the display is bright and easy to read even in sunlight. I love how smoothly it connects with my iPhone—notifications, calls, and messages all come through instantly. The health and fitness features are the real highlight: tracking workouts, heart rate, and daily activity keeps me motivated and more aware of my habits.

I upgraded from a series 9, 42mm, and I find this as a very likeable step up.
For starters, the size looks great on me, even though I don't have big wrists. Second, the watch is thinner now making it overall way more comfortable than my previous watch.
The second feature that I immediately noticed improvement on was the battery life. I'm a light, casual user, but for me it lasts 2 days between charges, while I had to charge the 9 daily.
It has great features, specially health-tracking wise, but I must admit I don't use it at its full potential. I use it to see notifications while I don't have my phone in hand, to track my excercise routine, tell the time, and that's about it.
I find this edition of the Apple Watch very recommendable, but I must say the cost could be better.

Based on the current date (November 2025) and the image provided, here is a review of the Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm, Aluminum, GPS).
The Quick Verdict
The Apple Watch Series 11 feels less like a revolution and more like the ultimate refinement of the classic Apple Watch shape. The shift to a 46mm size as the new standard for the larger model is the headline feature here, offering near-Ultra screen real estate in a much sleeker, more comfortable package. If you are coming from a Series 6, 7, or 8, this is a massive upgrade. If you have a Series 10, it’s likely a skip unless you specifically want the larger display.
Key Specs (as reviewed)
Model: Series 11 (GPS only)
Size: 46mm (New larger standard size)
Case: Space Gray Aluminum (Matte finish)
Band: Black Sport Band (M/L)
Chip: S11 SiP (System in Package) with enhanced Neural Engine
Release Year: 2025
The Good (Pros)
The 46mm Display: Apple has managed to increase the screen size without making the watch feel like a hockey puck. The bezels are virtually non-existent. It allows for more text, better keyboard typing, and denser complications.
Performance & AI: The S11 chip is blisteringly fast. With the full integration of Apple Intelligence (introduced late 2024/early 2025), Siri is finally instantaneous and actually conversational on-wrist.
Health Sensors: The sleep apnea detection and hypertension (blood pressure trends) monitoring are game changers for preventative health, making this a serious medical companion.
Comfort: Despite being 46mm, the aluminum case is significantly lighter than the Stainless Steel or the Titanium Ultra. You can sleep with this on and forget it's there.
The Bad (Cons)
Battery Life: It is still an "all-day" watch (18-24 hours). While it charges faster than ever, it still can't compete with the 2-3 day battery life of the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Durability: The aluminum glass uses Ion-X, which is prone to micro-scratches over time compared to the Sapphire crystal found on the Stainless Steel and Ultra models.
Same General Design: If you were hoping for a complete squared-off redesign, this isn't it. It retains the rounded pebble aesthetic.

I purchased the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) 46mm in Jet Black on 12/18/25 from the San Marcos store, and it has been an excellent upgrade. The larger display is bright and easy to read, and the overall performance feels noticeably faster and smoother compared to previous models. The Jet Black aluminum case looks sharp, and the sport band is comfortable enough for all‑day wear.
Battery life has been solid, even with workouts and notifications throughout the day. Setup was quick, and all my apps and health data synced without any issues. For fitness tracking, messaging, and everyday convenience, this watch has been reliable and consistent.
I’d definitely recommend the Series 11 to anyone looking for a durable, responsive smartwatch with a clean design.

Features like activity tracking, heart monitoring, notifications, and workout modes work flawlessly and genuinely help with staying active and organized.

This is the best Apple Watch I’ve ever owned since I first bought my Apple Watch series 1 back in 2016. Apple keeps adding new features like sleep score and hypertension notifications which are invaluable to me. It was my series 8 that detected that I had afib and my cardiologist informed me that it was probably due to sleep apnea. Indeed that was the cause and I was so glad when sleep apnea detection was introduced. Now with series 11 we have the additional lifesaver of hypertension detection! What a great device! The additions of extended battery life and a more durable crystal are also very welcome improvements. I wear my watch day and night to track my sleep, so the battery longevity is very important to me. I highly recommend this watch, especially to anyone with health concerns that are common to mine.

The watch is beautiful and bright with amazing new features. The speed of the watch is faster than the others one's and the numbers are easier to mash. The bigger face i really love cause its a whole lot better for your eyesight and it just shows off it's amazing colors. The price of the watch was also great. It has a longer battery life and ect, more durable, and the band is soft and very comfortable.

The Black Carbon color looks sleek and premium. The watch works super fast, tracks my fitness, sleep, and heart rate very accurately.
It’s so convenient to get calls and notifications right on my wrist — no need to pull out my phone.
Battery life is great and it charges quickly. The band is soft, comfortable, and fits perfectly.
I bought it at Ne Philadelphia — excellent customer service, they helped me set everything up.
Highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants quality, style, and reliability in one device!
Thank you for the great experience — I hope to win the gift card!

The watch itself is extremely comfortable, light weight but sturdy. The 46 mm face is not to big on my wrist but provides a lot more content on the screen at one time. The battery life itself is awesome. I wear my watch from 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM everyday and the watch has never went below 70%, that’s over 12 hours of battery life on a single charge.
Extremely happy with my purchase!

I’ve been wearing the Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm) for a few months now, and it’s easily the most refined and capable smartwatch I’ve ever used. The larger 46mm size feels perfect on my wrist – substantial without being bulky – and the upgrades in battery life, health tracking, and durability make this a must-have for anyone serious about fitness, health, or staying connected.

i love the new 46 mm instead of the 42 I had before and it holds charges much longer Great for my sleep monitoring. My only regret is that the Best Buy salesperosn gave me a longer band instead of what I was using before and did not want to exchange the band afterwards

The Apple Watch Series 11 is an excellent, well-rounded smartwatch, but it's a minor upgrade over the Series 10, focusing on subtle enhancements like better battery life, a tougher display, standard 5G connectivity, and new software features.

I’ve been really happy with the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) 46mm so far. It works perfectly and was easy to set up right out of the box. The fit is great on my wrist and is comfortable to wear all day and not too bulky, even at the larger 46mm size.
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed is the performance. Coming from a Series 9, the Series 11 feels noticeably faster. Apps open more quickly, navigation feels smoother, and everything just responds better overall. It’s one of those upgrades where you don’t realize how much speed matters until you experience it.
Overall, it’s been a solid upgrade for me. It looks good, fits well, and performs exactly as I expected. If you’re coming from a Series 9 or earlier, the speed improvement alone makes it worth it.

I just adore this watch, I finally had to upgrade my watch due to battery issues. Now I can go all day and not worry about it dying. I love the larger face and the additional features that have been added. If you have an older watch, your upgrade won’t disappoint and well worth it.
