Apple Watch Series 11 Wins Editors' Choice With 43-Hour Battery Life

Summary
Apple Watch Series 11 was reaffirmed as the top pick for most buyers after a June 18 review update kept Apple's recommended lineup unchanged.
43 hours of tested battery life, up from 36 hours for the prior model, helped drive the choice, alongside new 5G support, a tougher Ion-X screen, and FDA-approved hypertension notifications.
The review still positions the SE 3 as the value option at $150 less than the Series 11, while noting its missing ECG, blood-oxygen, and hypertension features.
Ultra 3 remains the premium choice for outdoor users, adding satellite connectivity and nearly three days of battery life, but the review says most everyday users do not need to pay that premium.
