A smartwatch can be an incredibly helpful tool when it comes to tracking your fitness, learning about your health, and trying to be more productive. Apple has been a pioneer in the space and is already on its 11th generation of smartwatches with the Apple Watch Series 11. It\u2019s gone through many iterations to get where it is today and now the perfect time to get one yourself. Amazon has the Apple Watch Series 11 selling for a substantial discount at one of its lowest prices of the year. Usually, you\u2019d find this model Apple Watch going for $399, but the current 25% discount ends up taking off a clean $100. You can now grab one for just $299 for a limited time.<\/p>\n

The improvements to the Apple Watch have been subtle, incremental changes over the past several generations. What\u2019s new here with the Apple Watch Series 11 is the new user interface that\u2019s built around Apple\u2019s Liquid Glass design scheme. The new UI has more fluid animations and is designed to make information easier to parse at just a glance. There have also been some updates to the Smart Stack widgets which bring to the front some tidbits on your activity stats, daily reminders, weather updates, and other info Apple deems most useful.<\/p>\n

Gesture Controls<\/h2>\n

One of the more fun and practical updates comes in the form of some brand new gesture-based controls. Now you are able to dismiss a notification from your screen by just flicking it away with your list. It\u2019s a like the notification is a bug that just landed on your arm and then you shake it to get it off. It\u2019s a helpful feature, especially when you\u2019re other hand is holding something or preoccupied with something else.<\/p>\n

Apple Watches are at their best when you are an Apple user across the board. The watch can integrate seamlessly with your iPhone. You\u2019re able to make or answer calls, reply to text messages, view alerts, and even make a payment at a checkout counter with Apple Pay\u2014all just from your wrist.<\/p>\n

By default, the Apple Watch Series 11 is Wi-Fi only or can access the internet and cellular network by pigging-backing off your phone. However, Apple also has a cellular model available that has its own 5G connection so you can access all the watches functions without your phone nearby. This is particular great for runners who would rather not have to deal with holding their phone or having it bounce around in their pocket or belt while hitting the roads or trails. You\u2019ll have everything you need right in the Apple Watch.<\/p>\n
