Apple launched the new Apple watch series along with iPhone 16 standard and iPhone 16 Pro models.
Apple Watch Series 10 Design and display
The new Apple Watch Series 10 comes with a bigger display. Apple has increased its size by 9% compared to Series 9. There are fewer bezels around the screen too while the edges of the screen are further rounded. It’s also 10% thinner and lighter. The aluminum finish makes the device look pleasing to the eye as well as aesthetically satisfying. It’s also the first Apple watch to flaunt a wide-angle OLED display. The latest watch series is made with 100& recycled aluminum or 95% recycled titanium in the case.
Apple says that the new watch series comes with a 40% brighter OLED display when viewed from an angle and gets a higher refresh rate which works effectively in the always-on mode. Likewise, the premium watch shares a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits with the iPhone 16 series. The Apple Watch Series 10 comes in aluminum and titanium materials and is available in a wide range of colors. Jet Black aluminum finish comes in sleek and reflective stature while the titanium cases which are available in natural, gold, and slate are shiny.
Noticeably, the rear part has been redesigned and now integrates an antenna which helps get more space. This time, you also get a new titanium variant in Natural, Gold, and Slate Grey finish. Apple claims that the titanium used in Series 10 is 20% lighter than that used in the Apple Watch Series 9.
Best Features
- Sleep apnea detection: One of the coolest and most relevant features of the Apple Watch 10 Series is the incorporation of the sleep apnea detection feature. It works just like the one in Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7. It gathers specifics from users’ sleeping patterns and uses metrics such as obstructed airways or unusual breathing patterns to derive sleep apnea. However, the feature is still waiting for the FDA approval. If it finds that something is serious, the watch produces a notification to let the users know of the situation and seek medical help.
- 20% faster: Apple Watch 10 is 20% faster due to the use of a larger charging coil. It also sports a new S10 processor which features a S10 SiP (System in Package) 4-core neural engine that is capable of handling machine-learning tasks which means it can translate languages in real-time with Apple’s new Translation app. The neural engine also notifies users if they have had a hard fall, Smart Stack, Photos face, etc.
- Noise suppression: The watch has an improved noise suppression technology which comes in handy for calls, playing music, or podcasts through the speaker.
- wearOS 11: The latest watch runs on wearOS 11 which brings several enhancements and functionalities. The new OS lets users pause Activity Rings, or check in from users’ wrists. It can also be used to organize Smart Stack properly.
- Training Load metric: The new Training Load metric checks if a user is going at it too hard at the gym, is pregnant, or is ovulation. The vitals app also derives key health metrics that give an overview of users’ health data.
- For snorkelers and divers: With a built-in temperature sensor and depth sensor, the watch provides users with information about how deep they are. So, this particular feature is extremely useful for snorkelers and divers, as well as swimmers.
