Apple has introduced the Apple Watch Series 10, featuring a redesigned look, a larger display, and several new health and fitness features.
1. Thinnest Apple Watch Yet
The Series 10 is nearly 10% thinner than previous models while maintaining its 18-hour battery life. This is made possible by a new design that integrates the antenna into the watch casing. It comes in aluminum and titanium cases, with several colors and finishes, including jet-black aluminum and polished titanium.
2. Larger Display and Improved Refresh Rate
The Series 10 has the largest display on any Apple Watch, with up to 30% more screen area. The wide-angle OLED technology makes it 40% brighter when viewed from an angle, and the faster refresh rate allows for a continuously moving second hand on some watch faces.
3. Faster Charging
Thanks to the updated back design, Series 10 has faster charging capabilities. Just 15 minutes of charging gives up to eight hours of use, and 30 minutes will charge it to 80%.
4. Sleep Apnea Notifications
In addition to sleep tracking, the Series 10 can now monitor signs of sleep apnea by detecting wrist movements linked to breathing interruptions. The feature will likely receive regulatory approval soon.
5. Water Features
For those who enjoy water activities, the Series 10 includes a depth gauge that measures up to 6 meters and a water temperature sensor. The Depth app shows details like current depth, water temperature, time underwater, and maximum depth. WatchOS 11 also introduces a Tides app for open water activities.
6. Audio and Call Clarity
The Series 10 allows users to listen to audio through its built-in speakers, including Apple Music and Podcasts, as well as third-party apps. It also includes a voice isolation feature that reduces background noise during calls.
7. New Finishes
For the first time, the Apple Watch is available in a polished aluminum finish, including a shiny jet-black option. A polished titanium finish, which replaces stainless steel in some models, offers a lighter and more reflective look. Both aluminum and titanium models come in multiple colors.
8. watchOS 11
The Series 10 runs on watchOS 11, which includes new features like the Vitals app, training load insights, customizable Activity rings, and an improved Smart Stack.
9. Pricing and Availability
The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399 and is available for pre-order now, with in-store availability starting on September 20. New watch bands are also available for order.
