Apple Watch deal: Series 11 brings better battery life, more durable screen
Launched in 2015, the Apple Watch quickly evolved from a nerdy fashion statement to a fitness-oriented essential. Apple keeps adding new sensors and capabilities, resulting in a smartwatch that can do much more than measure your heart rate during workouts.
Recent models can take an electrocardiogram, warn you if a loud environment might cause hearing damage, flag potential sleep apnea, provide ovulation estimates and more. The Apple Watch also integrates with Apple Fitness+, so subscribers can get the most out of the service’s guided workouts.
If getting in shape is your New Year’s resolution, an Apple Watch can turn good intentions into real results. It turns fitness into something measurable and motivating by tracking your daily activity and progress over time, so you always know where you stand. Gentle nudges like Activity Ring reminders and personalized goals help keep you accountable on days when motivation fades, while detailed workout insights make it easier to train smarter, not just harder.
Paired with your iPhone, it also helps you build healthier habits beyond exercise — like better sleep and mindful movement — creating a complete picture of your well-being. Instead of you guessing or giving up, an Apple Watch gives you constant feedback, encouragement and proof that your efforts are paying off, making it far easier to stick with your resolution long after January ends.
