Along with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo, Apple has unveiled the Apple Watch Series 12, focusing on advanced health tracking, enhanced durability, and refined performance.
At the center of Series 12 is the upgraded Health Sensing System powered by the S11 chip, enabling 5-second heart rate interval readings and continuous recovery HRV tracking. This real-time data powers the new Readiness feature, which converts daily activity, sleep, and vitals into an actionable daily readiness score.
Durability sees a substantial upgrade with Ceramic Shield 2 glass on aluminum models. Connectivity steps forward with 5G RedCap support on cellular models, while charging speeds improve—reaching 80% in roughly 30 minutes. On the software side, the watch leverages Audio Intelligence for privacy-focused features like on-device conversation review.
Apple Watch Series 12 has the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable. Unlock new features like high-frequency heart rate tracking, heart rate variability in daytime vitals, and a readiness score that lets you know when to rest or put yourself to the test. And now every day feels more effortless with Siri Al and Audio Intelligence.
Apple Watch is the ultimate device for a healthy life, with features like sleep score, cycle tracking, and in-depth workout metrics. It’s built to go all day with up to 24-hour battery life, a wide-angle Always-On Retina display, and superdurable Ceramic Shield 2 on aluminum cases.
