Apple Watch 10 — what's new?
The Apple Watch 10 sports plenty of enhancements that distinguish it from the Apple Watch 9. The Apple Watch 10 also sports the line's largest display yet with 30% more screen real estate than the Series 9. It's also Apple's first wide-angle OLED display. The screen is 40% brighter than its predecessor, which is particularly noticeable when viewing it at an angle.
Furthermore, Apple claims it's the fastest-charging Apple Watch ever, boasting an 80% charge in just 30 minutes. It's also said to include 18 hours of battery life. When using always-on mode, the Series 10 screen updates every second rather than once a minute, making the device even more useful for timekeeping at a glance.
According to our first-glance at new features, the case comes in three aluminum finishes including the classic Silver, as well as Jet Black and Rose Gold. Apple is also replacing the Series 9 stainless steel option with a grade 5 titanium Apple Watch 10 option that's 20% lighter. This version also comes in three finishes: Natural, Gold, and my favorite, Dark Slate Grey.
