Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
the physical battery capacity did increase a decent amount (nearly 10%!), but the "all-day" battery life the S11 claims is also due in part to Apple tweaking how they test battery runtime of one full discharge cycle. you can see a more detailed description below:
anecdotally, I've noticed effectively 0 functional battery runtime difference on my personal 46mm S10 and friends with S11s. both will last a full day with probably ~30ish% charge left with AOD on, 2-3 hours of combined cardio and traditional strength training workout tracking
if battery life is important to you, I recommend getting an Ultra or you can disable loud volume notifications, handwashing detection, background app refresh, AOD, and some other features
tldr; S11 battery improvement looks generational on paper, but is really an incremental-at-best improvement irl conditions and usage
Walmart+ is $49/year and includes Paramount+ or Peacock plus free shipping frequently much faster than Amazon, especially if you don't live in a metro area with an Amazon warehouse. (Some things are delivery only which then involves minimums and tips). I was skeptical but it has actually been useful and never more than $49 with one promotion or another. Plus you don't actually need to enter a Walmart store. That is the best part.

I'll wait for the price match from other stores. I'm not going for W+.

I cracked the screen on my Apple Watch a few weeks ago and purchased a 42mm last week at $299, but didn't open it. I just ordered another one at the new price. Overall it's a wash with my new Walmart+ membership, but maybe I'll be able to snag some other early access deals for Xmas.
seems like an ok deal, are people expecting better during black friday?
I'd imagine similar but maybe it won't run out so fast . I really want any decent discount on the 11 . That battery life upgrade seems sweet . Hoping for $50 off

42mm S10 has a 290mAh battery and 46mm S10 has a 327mAh battery

46mm S11 has a 363mAh battery (haven't been able to find a teardown for the 42mm S11 yet, but based on their phrasing in the release event it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume 42mm S11 got a similar 10% bump like the 46mm)
