Apple unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10. The new watch is thinner and lighter than previous models, and features a larger, more advanced display. Other new features include sleep apnea notifications, faster charging, water depth and temperature sensing, and new health and fitness insights in watchOS 11. The Apple Watch Series 10 is available in both aluminum and titanium, in a variety of colors and finishes. The new watch starts at $399 and is available for pre-order today.
Apple notes that the Apple Watch Series 10 is nearly 10 percent thinner than Apple Watch Series 7, Series 8, and Series 9, and maintains an all-day 18-hour battery life. The S10 SiP and built-in 4-core Neural Engine allow for intelligent features users rely on every day, including the double tap gesture, on-device Siri, dictation, and automatic workout detection; important safety features such as Crash Detection and Fall Detection; and the updated Smart Stack, the redesigned Photos face, and the Translate app in watchOS 11. Apple Watch Series 10 is also lighter: Aluminum cases weigh up to 10 percent less than Series 9, and titanium cases weigh almost 20 percent less than stainless steel Series 9. The case also features more rounded corners and a wider aspect ratio, which contribute to a much larger display while only slightly growing the case to new 42mm and 46mm sizes according to the company.
The new Apple Watch lineup can be pre-ordered today, with availability beginning Friday, September 20. The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399 (U.S.). New Apple Watch bands will be available to order today from Apple’s online store and in the Apple Store app, with availability in stores beginning Friday, September 20.
watchOS 11 will be available for Apple Watch Series 6 or later on Monday, September 16, and requires iPhone Xs or later running iOS 18. Not all features are available on all devices and in all regions.
Older Apple Watch bands, including 41mm and 45mm sizes, will be compatible with the new 42mm and 46mm cases, and all new 42mm and 46mm bands will be compatible with older Apple Watch models.
