Apple Watch Series 10 Review: This is It?

Apple Watch Series 10 is positioned as a significant step in Apple’s wearable lineup, but the reviewer frames it as an incremental upgrade rather than a full redesign. The video opens with expectations around a true redesign, noting that earlier generations had felt incremental and predicting a shakeup akin to iPhone X. The host shows the external changes first, highlighting a thinner and lighter profile, a larger display, and the shift to titanium on higher-end models. He explains that the new structure includes a one piece back, a re engineered speaker smaller by 30 percent, and a redesigned chassis that makes the watch feel more like last year’s model compressed into a sleeker form. Despite the physical updates, the overall takeaway remains that the Series 10 is an evolution rather than a revolution, with the larger screen offering more content and improved usability, particularly on watch faces and text legibility. The video then shifts to software, noting that watchOS 11 brings new features like the Vitals app, sleep apnea detection via accelerometer, and training load tracking, with some enhancements back ported to older models. The presenter walks through four concrete reasons to upgrade: louder media playback from the speaker, an LTPO 3 display with 1 Hz refresh for Always On display, a new water temperature sensor, and faster charging, while acknowledging that the S10 SiP remains similar to the S9 in performance. He pushes back against the idea of a major redesign for the next few years, suggesting the watch will likely settle into a stable design language with gradual updates rather than radical changes, and he ends by acknowledging sleep tracking accessories like Eight Sleep as complementary, while reiterating the core verdict that the Series 10 is a strong but familiar upgrade with meaningful improvements in display size and charging speed.
