Will be available in English to start, and will not initially be available in the EU. Certain Audio Intelligence features that rely on server-side models are subject to daily usage limits, including but not limited to Live Rewind and Siri Recap.

Compatibility: Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch SE 3 require iPhone 11 or later with iOS 27 or later.
Cycle Tracking: The Cycle Tracking app should not be used for birth control or to diagnose a health condition. Cycle deviation notifications are based solely on the user’s logged cycle history. Cycle deviation notifications inclusive of perimenopause are for people 40 years old or older.

Intended for use by people 22 years old and over. Always follow directions for use. The device is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis. Consult a doctor if atrial fibrillation is detected or if you have symptoms of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular conditions.
Emergency SOS via Satellite: Emergency SOS requires a mobile network connection or Wi-Fi calling with an internet connection from your Apple Watch or nearby iPhone. You can use cellular models of Apple Watch to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that a mobile network is available. Some mobile networks may not accept an emergency call from your Apple Watch if your Apple Watch isn’t activated, if it isn’t compatible with or configured to operate on a particular mobile network, if it isn’t set up for mobile service or if the mobile network does not support emergency calling over IMS. See support.apple.com/108374 and apple.com/nz/watch/cellular for more information.
Fast Charging: Fast charging is compatible with Apple Watch Series 7 and later, Apple Watch SE 3 and all Apple Watch Ultra models.
Feature Availability: Features are subject to change. Some features, applications and services may not be available in all regions or all languages, and may require specific hardware and software. For more information, see apple.com/nz/watchos/feature-availability.
Hypertension Notifications: Hypertension notifications are not intended for use by people under 22 years old, those who have been previously diagnosed with hypertension or pregnant persons.

Always follow directions for use.

It is not intended for use by people under 22 years old or those who have been previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib). Always follow directions for use. The device is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis. Consult a doctor if atrial fibrillation is detected or if you have symptoms of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular conditions.
Mobile Connectivity and Wireless: Carrier plan required for cellular service. Contact your service provider for more details. Connection may vary based on network availability. International roaming is not supported. Check apple.com/nz/watch/cellular for participating carriers and eligibility. See support.apple.com/HT207578 for additional setup instructions.
Power and Battery: Battery life varies by use and configuration; see apple.com/nz/watch/battery for more information.
Precision Finding for iPhone: Requires an iPhone and Apple Watch with second‑generation Ultra Wideband chip. Ultra Wideband availability varies by region. For more information, visit support.apple.com/109512.
Satellite: Emergency SOS and Find My via satellite are included for free for two years with the activation of Apple Watch Ultra 3 or later.

Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. Some devices may not be available in all regions. Siri AI is available in beta in watchOS 27 and requires an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not be initially available in the EU on watchOS. Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server‑side models are subject to daily usage limits, including but not limited to Siri AI. Daily limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies and other factors. Expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future. Use of these features is subject to the Apple Intelligence terms and conditions. Learn more at apple apple.com/nz/apple-intelligence.
Sleep Apnoea Notifications: Sleep apnoea notifications are available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and SE 3. The feature is intended to detect signs of moderate to severe sleep apnoea for people aged 18 years or older without a diagnosis of sleep apnoea. Always follow directions for use. The feature is not intended for use in screening for, diagnosing, treating or managing sleep apnoea. Even without a notification, sleep apnoea may still be present.

Temperature Sensing: The temperature sensing feature is not intended for medical use. Temperature sensing is available on Apple Watch Series 8 and later, Apple Watch SE 3 and all Apple Watch Ultra models.

Water and Dust Resistance: Apple Watch Series 2 and later and Apple Watch SE and later have a water resistance rating of 50 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that they may be used for shallow‑water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. Series 10 and later can also be used for snorkelling to 6 metres. However, they should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing or other high-velocity water sports. Apple Watch Ultra models have a water resistance rating of 100 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. They may be used for recreational scuba diving (with compatible third‑party app from the App Store) to 40 metres and high‑speed water sports. They should not be used below 40 metres. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For more information, see support.apple.com/109522. Apple Watch Series 7 and later and Apple Watch Ultra models are rated IP6X dust-resistant.
Workout Buddy: Requires a paired Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhone and Bluetooth® headphones with device and Siri language set to English or Spanish. To use Workout Buddy without your iPhone nearby, you must have a Wi‑Fi or mobile network connection. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/121115.
