Another year, another Apple Watch. The Apple Watch Series 10 is this year's hot new Apple smartwatch. Should you buy it? I found out in my review.

Apple Watch Series 10 MSRP $399.00 Score Details “The Apple Watch Series 10 is another strong entry in the Apple Watch family, and a easy reccomendation.” Pros Cons As I was sitting in the Steve Jobs Theater watching Apple announce the Apple Watch Series 10, I wasn’t immediately sure what to think. Apple was hyping up the Series 10 to be an exciting and big upgrade, but looking at the renders and images of the Series 10 during its unveiling, it sure looked a lot like the Series 9.

The Apple Watch has never been an uncomfortable wearable; it’s long been one of the comfiest smartwatches around. However, I do see and feel the decreased bulkiness of the Series 10. It’s particularly apparent with how the watch sits on your wrist. Wearing a Series 10 and Series 9 next to each other, you can see how the Series 10 sits flusher with your wrist, whereas the Series 9 juts out more.

What I’ve found more impressive is the new wide-angle OLED display. The main benefit is that it improves the off-axis viewing angles of the Apple Watch Series 10, making the screen up to 40% brighter compared to the Series 9 when looking at it from an angle. Now that we’re done discussing the display, let’s quickly talk about the speaker. Why? Because on the Apple Watch Series 10, you can now play music and podcasts from it!

Rather than looking at your sleep night-by-night, Apple’s sleep apnea feature analyzes 30-day chunks of your sleep. If it detects possible signs of sleep apnea, you get a notification from the Apple Health app. It’s important to note that Apple only intends for this to be used by people who haven’t yet been diagnosed with sleep apnea; it’s a detection tool rather than a treatment tool. I need more time with the Series 10 to see how it works, and I’ll update this review once I do.

Apple Watch Series 10: battery, charging, and other features I’ve been getting a little over 24 hours of use per charge on the Series 10, but not much beyond that. If I don’t track any workouts, the Series 10 usually lasts around 28 hours before it dips to 10% battery. If I do track a workout , I’m looking at closer to 24 hours of battery life. For context, that includes tracking my sleep with the Apple Watch and having the always-on display enabled.

On-device Siri voice commands, introduced on the Series 9, are once again present and still wonderfully fast. Apple’s Double Tap gesture is also here , and new depth and water temperature sensors allow you to go diving up to 6 meters . You also get watchOS 11 out of the box, and in typical Apple fashion, you can likely expect regular software updates for the next several years.
