This Series 11 GPS deal stands out as a strong price on Apple's current aluminum watch, especially for shoppers who want the standard phone companion experience. The 42 millimeter and 46 millimeter sizes are worth trying on in person, and the included Walmart band is a plain silicone strap rather than an Apple band choice. Cellular adds the ability to leave the phone behind for calls, texts, GPS, and fall detection, but it brings an extra monthly service fee and battery tradeoffs. A solid option if you want the newest model without paying full retail.

Common Questions (4)

  • Yes. With cellular, the watch can handle calls, texts, and GPS while your phone stays at home, and it uses the same number as your phone. Cellular service is a paid add-on, typically around $7-$10 per month.

  • The Series 11 is only a small upgrade over the Series 10, with a slightly larger battery and a minor weight increase. If you already have a Series 10, the practical difference is limited; the main reason to pay more is wanting the newer model.

  • Walmart reportedly will not price match its own lower price from a week earlier, so the workaround is to return and rebuy. Several comments also suggest this is already a very strong price for a current Apple Watch model.

  • If you are unsure, try both sizes on at an Apple Store first. The 42mm and 46mm fit differently, and the included Walmart band is a plain silicone band rather than the wider band choices available at Apple.

it's utility. people can just go on hike, run, walk, etc without carrying their phone and still be connected to the world in case someone wants to reach out. usually there is additional $10pm charge to avail this service. or you can continue using wifi only and never take advantage of cellular.
Using cellular must be taking a hit on a battery life of already limited capacity of less than 24hrs. Is it still a viable utility? I have only used gps models so far and debating getting cellular this time, but can't quite decide due to poor battery life on these watches.

Apple watches are an extension to the phone. As long as I get a day battery life, I'd live with it. There are ultras which have bigger battery and there are Garmin which have weeks of battery life.

Bought the same version watch on Amazon Nov 13 as I wasn't sure the rose color would be available later or get it in time...went to Amazon to return it and got to the final page and they offered me a $77 refund which made the price almost the same...so thank you!

I hadn't thought of that at all. Hard for me to imagine doing those things with a small screen, but I guess they made it work.
If you have wifi, you can also do all those things without cellular.

I don't think I've ever seen $100 off a current Apple Watch model so soon after it was released.

On cell phones in the U.S., even a deactivated model can call 9-1-1. Does it work that way on the cellular Apple Watch, or does that rule not apply to wristwatches?

Is there a point to getting the gps cellular model if you don't plan on getting a cell plan for it? What can you do with a watch cell plan anyway? Reply to iMessages?
I got one for my mom so fall detection will work if she doesn't have her phone with her. At $7 a month for a cell plan, I feel better that she has some tool to help if she needs it.

Don't buy from Walmart! If the delivery guy steals it, they won't refund you! It just happened to me! OnTrac stole two Apple Watches and Walmart didn't; refund the money. I lost the watches and my money too!
