Apple’s “Awe-Dropping” September 2025 Event
Apple’s keynote on September 9 wasn’t just about the iPhone, it was a big year for the Apple Watch, which now plays an even bigger role in health, fitness, and daily convenience. But with three new models, SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3, the real question is: Which one is right for you?
Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.
Apple Watch SE 3: Affordable, Yet Smarter

-
Always-on Retina display (finally for the SE line)
-
Sleep apnea detection for better overnight health insights
-
Wrist gestures to control apps without touching the screen
-
5G connectivity for faster data, calls, and streaming on the go
-
Price: Starting at just $249
The SE 3 is positioned as the “value Watch,” but unlike past SE models, it doesn’t feel like a compromise. For first-time Watch users or anyone with an older Series 6 or below, this could be the perfect entry point.
Apple Watch Series 11: Health Tracking Powerhouse

This is the sweet spot for most users who want more advanced health features without going all-in on the rugged Ultra. It’s especially attractive for anyone prioritizing preventative health tracking.

If you hike, dive, climb, or travel often, the Ultra 3 is still the most adventure-ready smartwatch out there. Think of it less as a Watch and more as a survival companion.
Which Watch Is Right for You?
-
On a budget, or just starting out? Go for the SE 3, you won’t feel left behind.
-
Health-conscious, but everyday lifestyle? The Series 11 is the most balanced option.
-
Explorer or extreme athlete? The Ultra 3 is built with you in mind.
Apple has clearly widened the gap between models to fit different lifestyles, and this year’s upgrades make it easier than ever to find your “perfect fit.”

A Quick Look at iPhone 17 & AirPods Pro 3
Yes, the iPhone 17 lineup made headlines too:
-
iPhone 17 is being praised as “value for money,” with many Pro-level features from last year’s iPhone 16.
-
iPhone Air is Apple’s slimmest phone ever, at 5.6 mm with titanium build.
-
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max bring an 8x telephoto zoom and ProRes RAW.
And the AirPods Pro 3 added better noise cancellation, heart-rate monitoring, and even real-time translation.
But make no mistake, this year’s biggest story is the Apple Watch.
