Community Reviews

Apple Watch Series 11 is drawing interest as a solid everyday smartwatch, with the bigger 46mm model standing out for noticeably better battery life than older Series 7 and Series 8 watches. Cellular adds convenience for fitness and going phone free, and the stainless steel and sapphire crystal versions are praised for staying scratch free. The main drawbacks are the extra monthly cellular fee, the sport band only configuration at this price, and the lack of Sport Loop or Nike band options through authorized retailers. A practical upgrade if battery life and durability matter most.

  • Apple trade-in or refurbished exchange options can reduce the cost of battery service once battery health drops.

  • Costco price adjustments can provide a gift card refund when the price drops after purchase.

  • Upgrading to the Series 11 46mm cellular model can improve day-long battery performance versus an older Series 7.

  • Stainless Apple Watch models with sapphire crystal screens can stay scratch-free over time.

  • Cellular service can add an extra monthly cost on top of existing phone service.

  • Battery life can become especially poor in cold weather conditions.

  • Deal links may redirect to Best Buy, where Apple Watch returns can be limited to 14 days with a restocking fee if opened.

  • Out-of-warranty battery replacement or exchange for an Apple Watch 7 may return a unit with blood oxygen sensing disabled.

10.6.2 is indeed a software update, so, yes, there literally is a damn thing factually wrong about what you said. Keep digging yourself into that hole though, you're already this far in, why admit being wrong now?
Are you incapable of even reading the release notes?
I'll give you a hint, this still wasn't a farking software update:
Quote :
This update extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027.
They didn't update a single stitch of actual code to do this. It's still credible, as I already said, that Apple *didn't* just leave your watch a brick come next year. Then again, to keep you paying for iCloud and in their ecosystem updating a certificate is a very easy and minor fix to keep your money flowing.

And of course, the other thing you're ignorantly leaving out is 10.6.1 being the previous update... Was released two years ago as their last actual software and security update before they killed off support.

Just because you don't know how software support lifecycles work doesn't change the fact you have an end of life device that will never see future fixes or improvements, you can bitch and moan about that all you want but it won't change that reality.

Nobody said it turns into a brick, but pretending it's still getting software and support updates and not that Apple has literally followed through on their two year old edict to kill it, is ignorant as all hell.

A watch. Which still tells time, which provides notifications, which still does literally everything an Apple Watch is supposed to do, and more. It *Works* perfectly fine, and doesn't need your blessing to do so. But, you'll pick on "security patches" on a friggin watch lmaoo. Not on a phone, not on a laptop, not on a work computer... a watch.
So now you've moved from denialism to "well fine, so what if it's true- I don't give a shit about security"...

This is exactly why people like you will never be involved in software lifecycle (and clearly, you aren't) because this is the dumbest "my car gets me from place to place who the fark needs a seat belt".
You said you had a CELLULAR watch which means, that thing is connected to the raw dogged internet 24/7. The fact zero days exist (and have been exploited), and the fact that we don't even know about other... [wikipedia.org]. Of course, you can bury your head in the dirt, it might be easier, or you can learn something that helps prevent yourself from getting farked over in life, but you do you.

Does nobody else sell these with the Nike band or textile bands? It's a good price only if you want the sport band

Stainless 8 here that I got brand new from an SD dead at $199 when the 9 came out. Haven't felt a reason to upgrade yet and the watch is still completely scratch free! The stainless body and sapphire crystal screen is amazing! Much stronger than the multiple aluminum Apple watches I had before getting this one.

Taking this down just a notch: Thank you. (Both, actually).
I also have an Apple Watch 4 [GPS] with which I've been perfectly happy. Being satisfied, I thought I'd try to hold out for a blood glucose sensor, despite knowing that's a hard nut to crack non-invasively & probably not coming anytime soon.

I'm not completely ignorant, so I was keeping an eye out for CVEs -- and hadn't done (installed) anything with it since it EOL'd -- but I didn't start digging until this exchange. Will update my hardware asap... and maybe use the 4 offline e.g. at the gym.
So, despite the contention, this was a useful thread that produced a positive outcome. Thanks again!

Sorry but Costco has a price match program that we don't know about?
