Apple has unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, marking a decade since the original Apple Watch was introduced. The new model brings several notable upgrades including a larger display, thinner design, and enhanced health monitoring capabilities.
Key features of the Apple Watch Series 10 include:
- Larger 42mm and 46mm sizes with 9% more screen area
- 10% thinner and lighter design for improved comfort
- New wide-angle OLED display that's 40% brighter
- Sleep apnea detection using the accelerometer to monitor breathing patterns
- Depth gauge for underwater measurements up to 6 meters
- Water temperature sensor for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts
- New jet black aluminum finish option
The Series 10 starts at $399 for GPS models and $499 for cellular versions. It's available in aluminum or titanium cases, with the titanium models starting at $699.
For sustainability-conscious consumers, Apple notes the Series 10 can be carbon neutral when paired with select bands made from recycled materials. However, this only applies to the Sport Loop, Braided Solo Loop, and Milanese Loop bands.
Pre-orders for the Apple Watch Series 10 are now live, with devices set to ship starting September 20th. Some retailers like Best Buy are offering trade-in deals that could bring the price down to as low as $99 for eligible trade-ins.
While the Series 10 brings welcome improvements, those who already own a Series 9 may want to weigh the upgrades carefully. The larger display and new health features are the most significant changes, but may not justify an upgrade for all users. Budget-conscious shoppers might also consider the Series 9, which is likely to see price reductions as the new model launches.
As Apple continues to iterate on its wearable technology, the Watch Series 10 represents another step forward in health monitoring and design refinement for the popular smartwatch line.
