Apple Watch Series 12 GPS + Cellular (MJGA4LS/A) pairs a 46mm Light Gold Aluminum case with a Sand Sport Band in size S/M. It combines the large 46mm display with a lighter-toned finish. The 5G (RedCap) and LTE modem supports international roaming, so calls, messages, maps and Workout Buddy coaching keep working when your iPhone stays at home.
The Health Sensing System combines a second-generation electrical heart sensor with always-on optical heart, blood oxygen and temperature sensors. Working with the S11 chip, it takes background heart rate readings every five seconds and measures HRV as often as every five minutes. Those readings feed a daily readiness score, sleep score and Vitals. The watch also offers the ECG app and irregular rhythm, sleep apnea and hypertension notifications. For training, you get Training Load, running power, Pacer, Race Route, offline maps with custom routes, and SWOLF for swimmers.
The 46mm Always-On Retina display measures 416 by 496 pixels, reaches 2000 nits peak brightness and is protected by Ceramic Shield 2. The case is water resistant to 50m under ISO 22810:2010 and IP6X dust resistant. Battery life reaches up to 24 hours of normal use, or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. A 15-minute charge adds up to 12 hours of normal use.
The watch requires iPhone 11 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), with iOS 27 or later. The box includes the watch, the band and an Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1m).
