For the past few weeks, we\u2019ve been putting the Apple Watch Series 11 (the 46mm GPS\u200c model with the sleek Jet Black Aluminum case and Black Sport\u200c Band, to be exact) thru its paces, and honestly, it\u2019s become \u200bmore than just a smartwatch; it\u2019s\u2063 a \u2063surprisingly insightful companion. <\/p>\n From the moment we strapped it on, we were struck by how comfortable it is \u2013 genuinely wearable 24\/7, which is crucial for a device promising detailed sleep tracking.
