Apple Watch Series 11 – S11 Chip, AI Fitness Coach, Sleep Score & 5G RedCap

 








Apple Watch Series 11: What to Expect at Next Month’s Launch

Just about a month from now, Apple will be pulling the curtain on its Apple Watch Series 11 at its big September event. Last year’s model came with a sharper, brighter display — but this year, the focus seems to be on smarter health features and a performance boost.

We’ve rounded up all the reliable leaks and rumors so you can get a quick, no-nonsense preview before launch.

1. A Faster, Smarter Chip

Apple is reportedly packing in the new S11 chip, designed to be more compact and power-efficient. That means not only better performance but potentially longer battery life. The smaller chip design could also leave extra room for a bigger battery or other internal upgrades.

2. Upgraded Connectivity with 5G RedCap

The Series 11 may feature a new MediaTek modem with support for 5G RedCap — a version of 5G optimized for wearables.
Currently, Apple Watches are stuck on LTE speeds, but this upgrade could mean faster, more reliable connections without draining the battery like full 5G.

3. Blood Pressure Alerts (Maybe!)

Apple has been working on blood pressure monitoring for years, but accuracy issues kept delaying it. Now, there’s a chance it could finally arrive with the Series 11.

Don’t expect exact readings like a medical device — instead, the watch will monitor trends over time and alert you if it detects hypertension. Think of it as an early warning system that you can share with your doctor, similar to the way Apple already detects irregular heart rhythms.

4. watchOS 26 — Smarter and Better Looking

The new Series 11 will ship with watchOS 26, which brings:

  • Workout Buddy – An AI-powered personal trainer that talks like a real coach (powered by Apple Fitness+ voices) to keep you motivated.
  • Liquid Glass Redesign – Sleek visuals matching iOS 26’s new look.
  • Improved Smart Stack & Control Center – Faster access to the stuff you use most.
  • New Gestures – More ways to control your watch without touching it.

5. Sleep Score Tracking

Leaks suggest Apple might finally introduce a Sleep Score, something other fitness trackers like Fitbit already have. This would analyze your sleep stages, health vitals, and rest quality to give you a daily score — helping you understand how ready you are to take on the day.

It’s still unclear if this feature will launch with watchOS 26 or remain exclusive to Series 11.

6. 10 Years of Apple Watch

2025 marks a decade since the first Apple Watch. Rumors of a special anniversary edition with a thinner body and new magnetic band system haven’t materialized yet, and it seems Series 11 will stick with the current design. But Apple could still mark the occasion with special watch faces or limited-edition colors.

7. Blood Oxygen Monitoring — Still Missing in the US

Due to ongoing legal issues, blood oxygen monitoring remains unavailable in Apple Watches sold in the U.S. There’s no sign that this will change with the Series 11. Luckily, in markets like Pakistan, this feature should continue to work just fine.

Bottom Line

If the rumors are true, the Apple Watch Series 11 will be all about smarter health tracking, better performance, and more AI-powered features — rather than a massive redesign.

With the September Apple Event just weeks away, it’s almost time to see if these leaks turn into reality.
