Apple Watch Series 11 (Cellular, 42 mm) Specs
Identifiers: Watch Series 11 42 mm - MF8A4LW/A* - Pending - A3335* - 8925*
All Apple Watch Models
Please note that Apple states cellular capable Apple Watch Series 11 models "have been optimized for use in the country of purchase, and not all models work in all countries or regions. There is no single model that supports cellular service worldwide." Although the hardware is capable of using 5G, it is not supported everywhere. Specific cellular support varies based on location sold.
The Apple Watch Series 11 models are highly similar to their predecessors, but have longer battery life, more durable Ion-X glass (for aluminum models), and a new "Space Gray" aluminum case finish option (titanium options are the same). Cellular models also have 5G capability.
All cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 11 models, including this one, are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone, but it still is intended to be used with an iPhone 11 or later running iOS 26 or later for some functions.
All Apple Watch Series 11 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display. This particular Apple Watch Series 11, the Cellular model in the 42 mm size, features a 374x446 "Always-On Retina" wide angle LTPO3 OLED screen with a minimum of 1 nit of brightness and a maximum of 2000 nits of brightness, and either an aluminum case with Ion-X glass covering the display or a titanium case with "Sapphire" crystal covering the display. Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 24 hours" overall in modest use.
For this model, there are four aluminum body options -- brushed "Space Gray" (pictured, left), Silver, and "Rose Gold" as well as polished, shiny "Jet Black" -- and three titanium body options -- polished, shiny warm gray "Natural", Gold (pictured, right), and dark gray "Slate". A variety of bundled bands in addition to a wide range of additional watch bands are available from Apple via customization, as well.

| Details: |
All Apple Watch Series 11 models have built-in support for Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 5.3 as well as L1 GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou support.
This model also has LTE and 5G cellular capability, but 5G is not supported everywhere. Apple notes that the Apple Watch Series 11 models "have been optimized for use in the country of purchase, and not all models work in all countries or regions. There is no single model that supports cellular service worldwide."
Apple formally segments this model into three categories -- one for the United States, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico and Puerto Rico; another for 58 countries worldwide, and a third for Hong Kong and Macao, but all appear to have the same A3335 model number and same 8925 EMC Number. Apple also no longer provides specifics regarding 4G LTE and 5G bands that are supported in different locations. The assumption is that the underlying hardware is the same, but compatibility and functionality vary by location. Nevertheless, this is subject to confirmation (Pending).
Although Apple does not provide specifics regarding cellular band support, government compliance documents indicate that it was tested in the United States on 5G bands n2, n5, n7, n12, n14, n25, n26, n41, n66, and n71 and LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 17, 25, 26, 41, 66 and 71. |
