While weve said the cheaper Apple Watch SE 3 is the best option for most people, the mainline sibling is arguably a better deal at this discount, thanks to improved battery life and a wider gamut of health metrics.

So if youve been holding off on upgrading an older Apple Watch or youve been thinking about getting your first one, then you dont need to wait until Amazon Prime Day 2026 to score a great deal because the mainline Apple Watch Series 11 has just hit
its all-time low price in Australia.

Thats right, Prime Day in Australia is still a little over a week away and Amazon is already discounting the wearable by 32% to just AU$447 for the 42mm GPS model .

While weve always recommended the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 as the
best for most people , we reckon this discount for the Series 11 is currently the better buy, especially if you value battery life, screen brightness, a slimmer chassis and more health monitoring. Save 34% (AU$232) Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm): was AU$679 now AU$447 at Amazon This price is the lowest weve seen in Australia, though it only applies to the Jet Black and Rose Gold colours. If you have larger wrists, the 46mm is also discounted by 25% to AU$549 , down from AU$729. The cheaper Apple Watch SE 3 has a smaller 13% discount , which isnt as good a deal in comparison. View Deal Our Apple Watch Series 11 review called it the most capable and best-looking mainline Apple Watch yet, praising the brighter, more efficient and more scratch-resistant Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display compared to its predecessor, as well as the larger battery capacity.

Battery capacity increased 9% for the 42mm and 11% for the 46mm model, with Apple rating both for 24 hours of typical use and up to 38 hours in Low Power Model. Our reviewer found the claim to be realistic, getting a full day and a half of battery life with light use.

On the software side, health tracking is more comprehensive with heart-rate alerts, ECG, wrist temperature, respiratory rate and cycle tracking, with blood pressure monitoring and hearing health as new additions. A Sleep Score feature has also been added (across all Apple Watches) to provide more easily digestible sleep tracking data.

Admittedly, the Apple Watch Series 11 wont be much of an upgrade over the Series 10 as its very similar hardware, but upgrading from the Series 8 or older models, or even the Watch SE and SE 2, the performance jump will be a substantial boost.

And while were at it, marathon season is still in full swing in Australia, so this deal is worth a look as it can keep up with even the best running
watches from the likes of Garmin . Today's best Apple Watch 11 deals 369 289 View Prime Day 369 View Deal 369 View Deal Show more We check over 250
