Shoppers can now save £124 on the Apple Watch Series 11 at musicMagpie, where the refurbished smartwatch is priced at £274.99 instead of its £399 launch price. The deal offers a more affordable route to owning the latest Apple wearable, which is described as having a 'thinner design' and 'smooth and responsive features'.
Refurbished Pristine Condition and Health Tracking
The watch features a sleek 46mm jet-black aluminium case with a black sport band, offering a lightweight design that is comfortable to wear throughout the day and overnight. It is refurbished rather than brand new, with musicMagpie grading it as 'Refurbished Pristine', meaning it has been fully tested, is in excellent working order and is described as being in pristine condition.
Health-tracking features include heart rate monitoring, ECG readings, sleep scores and notifications for possible signs of hypertension, where supported. Fitness enthusiasts can also use workout tracking, Heart Rate Zones, training load and running features, while fall detection and crash detection offer additional safety functions.
Battery Life and Alternative Options
The smartwatch provides up to 24 hours of battery life with normal use, while a 15-minute fast charge can deliver up to eight hours of use under Apple's stated conditions. For those who want a new Apple Watch, Amazon has one for £305.84, available in black, grey (£349) and purple (£349).
A more expensive option is the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 for £649 from Samsung, available in titanium silver or titanium grey. It is said to be the brand's 'slimmest and most powerful Watch Ultra', offering up to 60 hours of power and being dust- and water-resistant.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Pros and Cons
The Apple Watch Series 11 has been rated highly by shoppers. One said: "Bought this as an upgrade to my SE and glad I went for the more expensive model, well worth the upgrade for me with the Series 11's thinner design and smaller bezels/larger screen. I didn't think the extra health tracking features were important or useful to me, but that's been proven wrong."
Another added: "The Apple Watch Series 11 is smooth, responsive, and packed with useful features. The rose gold aluminium case looks elegant, and the light band makes it comfortable for all-day wear. Fitness tracking, notifications, and battery life are all excellent. A great upgrade."
On Amazon, a further shopper wrote: "Great for all-day and night use due to fast charging. Got as a replacement for my old Apple Watch Series 4 and the difference is night and day. The battery life is absolutely fine for a full day and night; it fast charges in less than an hour, so it can be used for sleep tracking as well as all day for activity monitoring. The screen is a perfect size and great quality, and the standard strap is comfortable for everyday use. I find that my wrist swells in the heat, so it can vary from loose to tight, but it is easy to switch the holes out quickly. Useful as you'd expect for iPhone notifications with a smooth setup process, and the connectivity between the 2 devices is seamless."
However, some people commented on the battery life; for example, this person said: "Great watch and a lot of features. It's a pity the battery didn't last longer." Another added: "Great features and smooth performance, but battery life could definitely be better for the price." The Apple Watch Series 11 is available from musicMagpie.
