Where to pre-order the Apple Watch Series 10
Apple’s Sept. 9 “It’s Glowtime,” event just wrapped, and the company has announced big updates to its extensive lineup of tech products including new iPhones, AirPods, and a brand-new Apple Watch.
The keynote kicked off with the announcement of the Apple Watch Series 10, which introduces a more lightweight design, a larger, easier-to-read display, and various health features that could prove to be game-changers for those with sleep-related issues. The Series 10 is available to preorder as we speak, and will be officially released on Sept. 20 for $399 (GPS) and $499 (GPS + cellular).
What’s new in the Apple Watch Series 10?
The Apple Watch Series 10 isn’t a miraculous step up from the previous generation, but it’s definitely the best place to start if you’re new to tech wearables. For starters, the Series 10 is the thinnest Apple Watch yet but has the biggest, most readable display to date. It’s nearly edge-to-edge and has about 30 percent more screen area compared to other Apple Watch iterations. The new watch introduces Apple’s first-ever wide-angle OLED display, which makes it way easier to read your wrist bling at different angles, especially when you’re just picking it up for a quick glance. The display is also more power-efficient, updating once per second when in Always On mode compared to the once-per-minute updates of previous models.

The watch also comes in some new finishes, including jet black, rose gold, and silver aluminum. You can also get it in a new titanium finish for a more formal look — that model is lighter than the regular Series 10, and one of Apple’s newest carbon-neutral products. The Series 10 is the fastest-charging Apple Watch yet, only taking 30 minutes to get to 80 percent battery. The speaker system is also upgraded and allows you to play audio out loud, straight from the device itself.
The watch also employs the speedy S10 SIP processor and watchOS 11, along with some new software features like crash and fall detection, as well as better background noise impression. Health features are also getting a big update with sleep apnea alerts, which use sleep analytics to monitor your breathing over time, taking note of any disturbances and alerting you if you should see a medical professional. Underwater athletes will also benefit from the new depth app, tides app, and water temperature measurements.
