Sleeker Design, Bigger Screen
The Series 10 introduces Apple's thinnest Watch design to date, featuring softer, more rounded corners for a streamlined appearance. Despite the slimmer profile, Apple has managed to incorporate its largest smartwatch display yet - a wide-angle OLED screen that promises improved visibility, especially when viewed from an angle.
Health and Fitness Advancements
A standout feature of the Series 10 is its pending FDA-approved sleep apnea detection capability. Using an advanced accelerometer, the watch can identify breathing disturbances during sleep, potentially alerting users to this serious health condition. This functionality is expected to receive full FDA clearance in the coming months.
Other fitness enhancements include:
- New depth and temperature sensors
- Training Load measurement
- The ability to pause Activity Rings

Performance Boost
Under the hood, the Series 10 is powered by Apple's new S10 System in Package (SiP), featuring a four-core neural engine. This upgrade enables faster on-device processing, particularly for Siri requests.
Faster Charging and Audio Playback
Apple claims the Series 10 is their fastest-charging smartwatch yet, capable of reaching 80% battery capacity in just 30 minutes. Additionally, both the Series 10 and Ultra 2 models now support direct audio playback through built-in speakers, expanding their functionality beyond just call audio.
Pricing and Availability
The Apple Watch Series 10 is available for pre-order starting today, with official release set for September 20th. Pricing starts at:
- $399 for the 42mm GPS model
- $429 for the 46mm GPS model
- $499 for the 42mm GPS + Cellular model
- $529 for the 46mm GPS + Cellular model
A New Look for the Ultra
Alongside the Series 10, Apple introduced a new black colorway for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This marks the first time the Ultra model has been available in more than one color option. The black Ultra 2 retains the same rugged design and advanced features of its predecessor, catering to athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. It's priced at $799 for the standard configuration or $899 with a matching titanium Milanese Loop.
As Apple continues to push the boundaries of wearable technology, the Watch Series 10 and updated Ultra 2 demonstrate the company's commitment to health monitoring, performance, and design in the competitive smartwatch market.
