Apple Watch Series 10 (2024)

The thinner design is a big deal ; Jet Black looks phenomenal ; Subtle (but welcome) screen upgrades ; I love the new speaker ; Excellent health/fitness features ; Improved charging speeds

No blood-oxygen tracking ; Sleep apnea is also on the Series 9 ; Still just one-day battery life

“The Apple Watch Series 10 is another strong entry in the Apple Watch family, and a (mostly) easy reccomendation.”

Bigger, brighter display. Thinner and lighter. Faster charging. WatchOS 11 has a ton of new algorithms. New sleep apnea tracking feature is FDA-cleared and potentially life-changing for a lot of people. Best accessories. New water features. New black...

No blood oxygen sensing! Why!? No improvements on the battery life front. Focus on water sports is weird to everyone but me.

Thinner case and bigger screen than the Series 9 ; Gorgeous polished aluminum, titanium case options ; Depth app, water temperature sensor ; Supports audio playback ; Sleep apnea notifications

Blood oxygen sensor is currently inactive

The Apple Watch Series 10 remains the best iPhone-friendly smartwatch with a more elegant, comfortable design than its predecessor, along with a new underwater depth gauge and music playback capabilities.

Bigger display but not bulky ; Wide-angle OLED is neat ; Much faster charging ; Sleep apnea detection has potential

Lack of blood oxygen (in US) may impact your upgrade plans ; Another year of minor updates

New display is gorgeous ; The 46-millimeter is way more expansive but doesn't feel massive ; Thinner build overall makes for a much more comfortable watch

Still fast, but the S10 chip doesn't deliver a performance boost over the S9 ; No increase in battery life, though fast-charging could solve this

After a week with the Apple Watch Series 10 it’s clear that the looks might be familiar, but a larger screen with much better viewing angles and a slimmer overall build make for a comfortable watch that feels more expansive than ever before.
