Apple Watch Series 10 is here, marking the biggest leap forward in years. It’s about a fresh, refined design—a slimmer, sleeker bod with a larger display that still holds on to the classic digital crown and side button. The magic also lies under the hood – a brand-new chipset powered by Apple Intelligence, ushering in a wave of smart new features. And, as a cherry on top, Apple has also introduced a stunning Black Satin colour option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. But let’s, first, look at the star of the show—the Watch Series 10.
The Apple Watch Series 10 now offers a 49mm display—outshining even the Apple Watch Ultra in size. For reference, that’s 30% more screen real estate than the Series 6, giving you more room to play, work, or simply glance at notifications. The wide-angle OLED display also provides better viewing angles and brightens for a sharper, more vivid experience. And, thanks to the new LTPO technology, the Always On Display is more efficient.
It also debuts with a refreshed design, headlined by a new Jet Black option. For the first time, polished aluminium joins the lineup, making this the sleekest Apple Watch yet at 9.7mm thin, around 10% slimmer than its predecessor. Plus, with the lightweight aluminium body, it's lighter on the wrist too. If you're after something a little more premium, polished titanium options are available, echoing the luxe vibe of the Apple Watch Ultra. Rounding things off is an upgraded speaker, so now you can even play music directly from your wrist with richer sound.
At the heart of the Apple Watch Series 10 is the all-new S10 processor. Thanks to its 4-core Neural Engine, it brings Apple Intelligence features exclusive to this watch. A smarter neural network helps filter out background noise during calls and it even powers the new Translate app, which makes its debut on the Apple Watch.
Battery life also gets a boost, with a larger battery cell delivering more screen-on time than ever before. Plus, the fast charging is impressive—30 minutes on the charger now gets you up to 80% battery, so you’ll spend less time tethered to a plug and more time enjoying the smartwatch experience.
The flagship health feature on the Apple Watch Series 10 is sleep apnea tracking, a game-changer for those who monitor their sleep health. Using the accelerometer, the watch monitors your breathing for any disturbances. After a few days of analysis, you’ll receive a notification if it detects signs of sleep apnea—though it's not a formal diagnosis and hasn’t earned FDA approval just yet.
The Series 10 also borrows some adventure-ready tech from the Apple Watch Ultra, like the depth gauge and water temperature sensor. And, in true Series 10 style, it ups the ante with two new apps – Snorkeling and Tides, perfect for water enthusiasts looking to dive deeper into their aquatic adventures. The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399 (around ₹33,000) in the US. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the sleek new Black Satin colourway is priced at $799 (approximately ₹67,000).
