Apple Watch Series 10 debuts as the company\'s thinnest smartwatch

The Apple Watch Series 10 is here, and it's the thinnest smartwatch from the company. It's the first time since the Series 7 that Apple has revised the design of the wearable. While thinner than its predecessor, it has a larger display, which promises better viewing even in challenging angles.

Speaking of the screen, the always-on display feature has seen an upgrade, and it now refreshes once per second instead of once per minute. But this isn't the only highlight when it comes to features. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a couple of new additions, including sleep apneadetection.

Samsung introduced it earlier this year, and the Galaxy Watch 7 (40 mm Bluetooth curr.$269.99 on Amazon) is the first smartwatch from the South Korean giant to offer sleep apnea detection. On the Watch Series 10, this feature aims to help identify sleep disorders that often remain undiagnosed for years.

Moreover, the new smartwatch has a diving app, which can show the water depth of up to 6 meters. This is something that's already available in the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but this flagship wearable can measure up to 40 meters of water depth. The app can also show the water temperature.

As for the design, the Watch Series 10 sports an aluminum chassis, the same as the predecessor. But the newer smartwatch has a new Jet Black finish. There's a polished titaniumvariant available as well.

Regarding hardware updates, the main highlight is the Apple S10 SiP, which brings more power and capabilities. The battery life stays the same as the predecessor, at 18 hours, but Apple says that the charging speed has seen a bump.

Another notable hardware upgrade is the speaker. It has been redesigned to be smaller but without impacting the audio performance. The speaker on the Apple Watch Series 10 also plays music and podcasts from Apple Music.

Pricing-wise, the Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399, and the smartwatch will start shipping on September 20, 2024. As for the variant with an integrated 4G modem, it starts at $499. You will be able to pre-order one starting today.
