Pros & Cons

What we like

  • Health Sensing System adds blood oxygen and temperature to ECG and heart sensing
  • Brighter wide-angle LTPO3 display with sapphire on titanium and ceramic
  • Fast charging: about 80% in 30 minutes, 12 hours from a 15-minute top-up
  • IP6X dust and 50m water resistance with a depth gauge
  • Eight finishes across aluminium, titanium and ceramic

What we don’t

  • Works only with iPhone 11 or later running iOS 27
  • Battery life of up to 24 hours still needs daily charging
  • Wi-Fi 4 only
  • Titanium and ceramic models start above ₱50,000 in the Philippines
  • The 46mm aluminium model costs more than the previous 46mm

The Pipino Verdict

The Apple Watch Series 12 suits iPhone owners who want the most complete health sensing Apple offers in a mainstream watch. The main trade-offs are daily charging and a high price for titanium and ceramic. Rating is based on specs and brand data, not our own hands-on testing.
