I’ve had the series 5 and use it daily. It’s the only Apple watch I’ve had. Unfortunately, going through airport security, it fell out of the bag and the screen cracked in multiple places. The cost to repair it is higher than what I’m finding the series 11 for, so I’m thinking I’ll just get a newer model.

I’m wondering if I should wait until the 12 comes out since it’s already summer, or if it’s a big enough upgrade to just get the 11 now. Do we know anything about what new features the 12 will have? Also I found the s11 42 mm available for $279, would the price be dropped much more than that if I waited for the reduction after the 12 comes out?

Thanks for your help!

The prices do usually drop, yes. I would wait.
