Apple has unveiled the Apple Watch Series 10, which comes with a sleeker design, a larger display, and a host of new health and fitness features, making it one of the most advanced smartwatches to date.
1. Thinnest Apple Watch Ever
The Apple Watch Series 10 is now 10% thinner than its predecessors, all while preserving the impressive 18-hour battery life. This slimmer design is achieved through an innovative antenna integration directly into the watch casing. Available in both aluminum and titanium cases, the Series 10 offers a variety of finishes, including an all-new jet-black aluminum and polished titanium options, providing both style and durability.
2. Larger Display with Enhanced Brightness
The Series 10 boasts the largest display of any Apple Watch yet, with up to 30% more screen area. The wide-angle OLED display technology makes the screen 40% brighter when viewed at an angle. Combined with an improved refresh rate, users can enjoy fluid, continuously moving second hands on watch faces, enhancing the overall visual experience.
3. Faster Charging Capabilities
Charging the Series 10 is quicker than ever before, thanks to the updated back design. Just 15 minutes of charging provides up to eight hours of usage, and 30 minutes will recharge the watch to 80%. This makes it easier for users to top up quickly and get back to their day without long waits.
4. Sleep Apnea Monitoring
Along with standard sleep tracking, the Series 10 introduces the ability to detect signs of sleep apnea. By analyzing wrist movements associated with interrupted breathing, the watch can notify users of potential apnea episodes. This feature is expected to gain regulatory approval, marking a significant step forward in health monitoring.
5. Water Sports Features
Ideal for water enthusiasts, the Series 10 includes a depth gauge that can measure up to 6 meters. Additionally, a water temperature sensor enhances its functionality for swimmers and divers. The Depth app provides real-time data such as current depth, water temperature, time underwater, and maximum depth reached. The new Tides app in watchOS 11 also adds valuable insights for those involved in open water activities.
6. Enhanced Audio and Call Quality
The built-in speakers on the Series 10 allow users to enjoy Apple Music, Podcasts, and third-party apps without needing connected earphones. A new voice isolation feature improves call clarity by reducing background noise, ensuring clearer conversations even in noisy environments.
7. New Premium Finishes
Apple is expanding its material offerings with polished aluminum and titanium finishes. The polished aluminum version includes a jet-black option for the first time, while the polished titanium models replace the previous stainless steel options, offering a lighter and more reflective aesthetic. Both finishes are available in a range of colors, providing users with a variety of style choices.
8. watchOS 11
Running on watchOS 11, the Series 10 includes several new apps and features. These include the Vitals app, which tracks key health metrics, training load insights for fitness enthusiasts, customizable Activity rings, and an upgraded Smart Stack for easier access to important information. These additions make the watch even more versatile in managing both health and productivity.
9. Pricing and Availability
The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399, with pre-orders already available. In-store availability begins on September 20. Alongside the new watch, Apple has also launched a fresh collection of watch bands that can be ordered to complement the new finishes and colors of the Series 10.
With a thinner design, larger display, faster charging, and a range of new features, the Apple Watch Series 10 continues to set the standard for smartwatches, combining health, fitness, and style in one sleek package.
