The Apple Watch Series 12 was unveiled during the September Apple event, though foldable iPhones garnered more attention.

The Series 11 only received minor tweaks, yet introduced a 24-hour battery life, a notable improvement.
Audio Intelligence, Health Sensing System, HRV tracking, and a Readiness score are among the Series 12's key features. The watch will be priced at $399 and available for preorder starting today, with a release date set for September 18. Priced similarly to its predecessor, the Series 12 offers a 24-hour battery life and round-the-clock health data tracking.
Health insights are integrated into the redesigned Health app, which will also feature Apple Intelligence-driven personalized guidance, Health Age, and a Longevity tab. The watch is available in space gray, black, light gold, dark bronze, gold, silver, pearl white, and night blue ceramic finishes, all crafted from 100 percent recycled aluminum.
