The biggest selling point of the new Apple Watch Series 11 is easily the upgraded battery life. All prior flagship Series models topped out at 18 hours per charge. The new model, however, is rated at 24 hours per charge.

Does the latest Apple Watch actually last that long? I decided to find out. My Apple Watch 11 review unit, in shiny, new Space Grey, just arrived over the weekend. As soon as I got it unboxed and charged up, I tossed the watch on my wrist and went about my day.

Exactly 24 hours later, I checked to see if the watch was still functioning, and if so, how much battery life remained. Here’s how the Apple Watch Series 11 battery life fared.
