Our digital expert will help you, but it can sometimes make mistakes, like humans do.
According to our smartwatch expert
Durable screen: this stylish Watch can take a hit thanks to the scratch-resistant screen.
Comprehensive health insights: you get detailed health measurements and tips that help you improve your health.
For basic sports data: keep track of the basic data from your workouts when you go for a run or a bike ride, for example.
Less accurate sports tracking: it measures and analyzes your sports performance well, but less accurately than some better smartwatches.

The Apple Watch Series 11 works well with my iPhone and accurately tracks health and exercise data. The battery life has improved, but if you exercise a lot, you still need to charge it daily.
Battery life of over a day I was especially curious about the battery life, which Apple now claims is 24 hours. Surprisingly, I often got even more out of it and only needed to charge it after a day and a half. Exercising with the Watch does use up a lot of battery. If you exercise a lot, you still need to charge it daily.
Exercise and health I had many options with the Watch 11, from tracking my steps and sleep to taking an ECG. This can detect an arrhythmia. Fortunately, I didn't have one. I have to say, I haven't used the feature since that one time. I did run regularly, and I found the Series 11 very comfortable to work out with. Compared to a sports watch I also own, the Series 11 measures my heart rate just as accurately, for example. I only noticed that the GPS was sometimes a bit less accurate while running in the woods. The difference is so small that only professional athletes would notice it.
Easy to use and smart features I really appreciate that the most important apps are already installed on the watch and sometimes even activate automatically. For example, if I went for a bike ride, I received a notification after a few minutes to track my ride in the Workout app. And when I turned on Spotify on my iPhone, a small music player immediately popped up on my watch. The one-handed operation also works very well. For example, I opened a menu by tapping my index finger and thumb together, and closed them again with a single wrist movement.
Large, but comfortable For this review, I tested the 46-millimeter version. It fits well on my large wrist—I have a wrist circumference of 19 centimeters. While the screen is large, the Series 11 is quite thin, especially compared to the Watch Ultra, for example. I found it comfortable to wear, even while sleeping.
Bright screen with vibrant colors The Watch 11's screen is beautiful, bright, and colorful. I had a lot of fun creating my own watch faces, using photos of my dog or my vacation in Japan as backgrounds. They all looked beautiful and vibrant, making my watch truly personal.

Switched from the SE 2 to this one, had it for 3 years. It's noticeably better now, with a faster, sharper image thanks to the brightness, and a fast processor that loads everything you want instantly. The 46mm isn't noticeably larger on the wrist than the 44mm SE 2, but the screen is larger. I'm happy with the 46mm option; it's a bit more expensive, but it has a nice, beautiful image, so even with slightly swollen fingers, it's still easy to use. Now I'm hoping the battery is a bit better, but the old one could still get to 90%, though I'll probably charge it every day. I'm already very happy with it. And Cool Bleu continues to amaze me with on-time deliveries by bike and politely ringing the doorbell. They still keep their appointments. Not unlike regular postal services, which sometimes throw expensive items over the fence and don't even ring the doorbell while I'm waiting at home. Kudos to Cool Bleu for this.
