Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3: Canadian Pricing
Today Apple announced an update to its Apple Watch lineup. We now have the new Series 11, Ultra 3 and SE 3 available for pre-order, today, September 9, 2025.
Apple Watch Series 11 brings hypertension notifications for early detection of high blood pressure trends and a new sleep score to track rest quality, alongside the fully activated blood oxygen sensor. It marks the first Apple Watch with 5G connectivity using a low-power RedCap modem for improved coverage and efficiency, paired with a redesigned antenna for better signal in weak areas. The display receives a ceramic coating upgrade, doubling scratch resistance while maintaining the Super Retina XDR OLED panel, and the device offers up to 24 hours of battery life with faster charging. It’s powered by the new S11 chip.
As for Apple Watch SE 3, it finally gets a long-awaited Always-On Retina display for quick glances at notifications and time without wrist raises. It incorporates advanced health and fitness tracking such as wrist temperature monitoring, sleep stage analysis with a new sleep score, and safety tools like fall detection and emergency SOS, all powered by the efficient S10 chip for smooth performance and up to 18 hours of battery life. Fast charging gets added, reaching 80% in just 45 minutes, while the stronger Ion-X front glass improves durability without increasing weight.
The next-gen Apple Watch Ultra 3 gets the largest display yet—a brighter, larger LTPO OLED screen up to 3,000 nits for superior visibility in extreme conditions—while retaining the titanium case and 100-meter water resistance. It brings 5G cellular support alongside built-in satellite connectivity for sending and receiving emergency messages or texts in areas without cellular or Wi-Fi. Hypertension detection, blood oxygen monitoring, and advanced sleep tracking with scores are now here. The S11 chip is here, while battery life extends up to 42 hours in normal use or 72 hours in low-power mode, with fast charging.
Here’s Canadian pricing for the new Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3 and SE 3:
Apple Watch Series 11 Aluminum (Space Grey, Silver, Rose Gold, and Jet Black)
Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium (Available in Natural, Gold, and Slate)
Apple Watch Ultra 3 (Available in Natural and Black)
Apple Watch SE 3 (Available in Midnight and Starlight)
