I’m really happy with the Apple Watch Series 11 (42 mm). The size is perfect. Not too big or bulky and very comfortable for everyday wear. I got the XS band, and it fits perfectly, which I really appreciate.
I mainly use it to track my workouts, and it works great for that. The fitness tracking is accurate, easy to use, and motivating. It tracks my activity clearly and helps me stay consistent. The watch is fast, smooth, and works perfectly with my iPhone for notifications and daily use.
I did choose the cellular version, but it doesn’t work with my phone company (BAIT in Mexico). That’s not the watch’s fault, just something to keep in mind make sure your carrier is supported if you want cellular.
Overall, it’s a great smartwatch with excellent performance, comfort, and fitness features. I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you mainly use it for workouts and everyday tasks.

Love it! Brought for my woman she needed a new one as she would’ve used her last one for a lifetime. She loves it, everything looks bigger and it’s pretty nice.

So far so good! Love the look. Love the features. Comfortable fit. Didnt think I had a big wrist but the band is on the very last hole… only thing that I was disappointed about. But it’s not even something I can complain about.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (4.5/5)
I previously used the Apple Watch Series 6 and was very happy with it, so I had high expectations when upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS + Cellular), 42mm Aluminum with Black Sport Band. Overall, this has been a very positive upgrade.
What I like:
Noticeable performance improvement: Compared to the Series 6, the Series 11 feels faster and more responsive. Apps load quicker, animations are smoother, and overall navigation feels more refined.
Cellular freedom: The GPS + Cellular feature works reliably and gives me the freedom to leave my phone behind during workouts or short trips while staying connected.
Comfortable and familiar design: The lightweight aluminum case and Black Sport Band are comfortable for all-day wear. The fit and feel are familiar coming from the Series 6, which made the transition easy.
Enhanced health and fitness tracking: Health features such as heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, sleep tracking, and workout detection feel more accurate and consistent, building nicely on what I appreciated in the Series 6.
Reliable battery for daily use: Battery life easily lasts a full day with normal use, including workouts and notifications.
What could be better:
Battery life with cellular use: Heavy cellular usage can drain the battery faster, so charging daily is still necessary.
Incremental upgrade: While there are clear improvements over the Series 6, users upgrading from a more recent model may find the changes less dramatic.
Overall experience:
Coming from the Apple Watch Series 6, the Series 11 feels like a meaningful and refined upgrade. It maintains what I liked about my previous watch while delivering better performance, smoother operation, and added convenience through cellular connectivity.
Final verdict: A solid upgrade from Series 6 with noticeable performance and usability improvements, making it a dependable everyday smartwatch.

After notification of a delay in shipping (Oct!) the watch arrived on the stated date (Sept 19).
My first Apple watch...set up was easy but I did experience some crazy changes after the first update! The watch face was different, it wasn't connected to my phone, and other glitches. Finally rectified after shutting down both my phone and the watch several times.

Bought it as a gift. But they love it so far and it’s been perfect. The cellular is perfect for anybody who especially works in environments where they can’t have their phone and especially for those who love to track their workouts. Best Christmas gift for them!

It’s a great product and it’s always easy purchasing from Best Buy. All my electronics are purchased at Best Buy. The Apple Watch does everything I need and each time a new watch comes out I change.

This was a gift, but was much appreciated. The upgrade from a 6 to the 11 was a significant improvement! The recipient loves it and says it's working great!
