Apple Watch Series 11 now with its first-ever battery life boost — up to 24 hours on a single charge.

That’s a big jump from 18 hours, even with the same casing and chip as the Series 10. Apple hasn’t said exactly how they achieved the improvement, but we’re not complaining.

Plus, with fast charging, just 15 minutes gives you up to 8 hours of battery life.
