Overview
Apple Watch Series 12 GPS + Cellular (MKDF4LS/A) pairs a 46mm Dark Bronze aluminum case with a Dark Bronze Milanese Loop in size S/M. Its 5G (RedCap) and LTE modem handles calls, messages and data away from your iPhone. The Health Sensing System takes background heart rate readings every five seconds and HRV as often as every five minutes. It runs on the S11 chip and delivers up to 24 hours of normal use.

- Always-On Retina display (LTPO3, wide-angle OLED) with 2000 nits peak brightness and Ceramic Shield 2
- Up to 24 hours of normal use, up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, and up to 80% charge in about 30 minutes
- Water resistant to 50m (ISO 22810:2010) and IP6X dust resistant

- Leave the iPhone behind: calls, messages and data run over the watch's own 5G (RedCap) and LTE connection
Apple Watch Series 12 GPS + Cellular in the 46mm Dark Bronze aluminum case with a matching Dark Bronze Milanese Loop (S/M) is built for people who want a health, fitness and safety device that stays connected without an iPhone nearby. The cellular model supports RedCap for 5G and LTE, with international roaming and support for Apple Watch For Your Kids.
The redesigned Health Sensing System combines a second-generation electrical heart sensor, an always-on optical heart sensor, a blood oxygen sensor and a temperature sensor. It works with the S11 chip, which has a 64-bit dual-core processor and 4-core Neural Engine. Apple rates it as the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable. Background heart rate is sampled every five seconds and HRV as often as every five minutes. That data feeds a daily Readiness score, Sleep score, the Vitals app, ECG, irregular rhythm notifications, sleep apnea notifications and hypertension notifications.
The Always-On Retina display uses wide-angle OLEDs and LTPO3, reaching 2000 nits peak brightness under Ceramic Shield 2. The case is water resistant to 50m under ISO 22810:2010 and rated IP6X for dust. Safety features include Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, Crash Detection and Check In. Battery life runs up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. Fast charging reaches up to 80% in about 30 minutes.
The watch requires an iPhone 11 or later, or 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).
