Apple Watch Series 11 (Cellular, China, 46 mm) Specs
Identifiers: Watch Series 11 46 mm - Pending - Pending - A3453* - 8928*
All Apple Watch Models
Please note that this A3453 Apple Watch Series 11 (Cellular, China, 46 mm) model, sold only in mainland China, includes a WPT compliant charging cable that does not support fast charging. This charging cable will not charge other Apple Watch models from outside mainland China. This Apple Watch is otherwise believed to be identical to the "regular" A3337 Apple Watch Series 11 (Cellular, 42 mm) model. It does support 5G within mainland China where available.
The Apple Watch Series 11 models are all 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, a Cellular model in the 46 mm size, features a 416x496 "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", Silver (pictured, left), and "Rose Gold" as well as polished, shiny "Jet Black" -- and three titanium body options -- polished, shiny warm gray "Natural" (pictured, right), Gold, 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.
