Apple Watch Series 12 features upgraded health sensors and S11 chip
Apple has released the Apple Watch Series 12, featuring the new S11 chipset based on the A20 Pro architecture. The device introduces a redesigned heart rate sensor system capable of more frequent measurements, providing data every five seconds. This hardware update enables new health metrics, including a Readiness Score that analyzes sleep, activity, and vital parameters to assess daily preparedness.
Other notable features include improved battery life, with claims of up to 50 hours of use, and new audio intelligence functions such as Live Rewind and Siri Recap. However, availability of these AI-driven audio features varies by region; for instance, they are currently unavailable in the European Union. The Series 12 maintains the established design language of previous models, including a 2,000-nit display, but offers enhanced accuracy in heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) tracking.
