Buying call

Buy the Apple Watch Series 11 used or on clearance if you want a great all-round iPhone watch for less than a new Series 12. It lasted nearly two days in one review test, added 5G and FDA-cleared hypertension notifications, and reviewers rated it among the best smartwatches. Skip it if you want the Series 12's faster heart-rate sensor and Readiness score. Its design barely changed from the Series 10, and it's iPhone only.
