The Apple Watch Series 10 is now a reality. Yesterday, Apple was in charge of shaping a large number of new devices, including the new iPhone 16 and the new AirPods 4 in its two models with and without active noise cancellation. However, it was also presented the new Apple Watch Series 10, bigger and thinner with much more power thanks to the incorporation of the S10 chip. Additionally, new sensors have been integrated to improve user health monitoring in addition to new titanium colours and finishes, similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, available for pre-order today.
Thinner and larger: significantly improved dimensions
The Apple Watch Series 10 could be defined in two adjectives: thinner and taller. The new Apple Watch has a new LTPO3 OLED retina display with always-on technology. OLED technology allows for a wide viewing angle, increasing its brightness, up to 2,000 nits, by up to 40% at any angle.
Additionally, not only is this new screen and its increase in size over previous generations striking, but also It’s also the thinnest watch Apple has ever made. To do this, Apple has designed all the components from scratch: from the Digital Crown, to the SiP, to the front glass or the antenna integrated inside. The differences with the Series 8 or 9 are very marked, but if we compare it with the Series 3 the difference is catastrophic. In fact, the data offered by Apple is that the Series 10 It is up to 75% larger than the 3 Series and 30% larger than the 4, 5, 6 and SE Series.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch Series 10 is available in two new case sizes: 42 mm and 46 mm, compared to the 41 and 45 mm cases of the Series 9. Below we leave you the main dimensions of this new Series 10 in its different models:
| Model | Dimensions (mm) | Weight (g) |
|---|---|---|
| 46 mm | 46 x 39 x 9.7 | 36.4 (aluminum, GPS) |
| 46 x 39 x 9.7 | 35.3 (aluminum, GPS + Cellular) | |
| 46 x 39 x 9.7 | 41.7 (titanium) | |
| 42 mm | 42 x 36 x 9.7 | 30 (aluminum, GPS) |
| 42 x 36 x 9.7 | 29.3 (aluminum, GPS + Cellular) | |
| 42 x 36 x 9.7 | 34.4 (titanium) |
The new chip has also been integrated S10 from Apple, a new 64-bit dual-core processor, which shares space with the W3 chip, the second-generation ultra-wideband chip, and the 4-core Neural Engine, all shared with the rest of the previous generations.
With this technology, Apple can claim that the The Apple Watch Series 10 is capable of maintaining a battery life of 18 hours and up to 36 hours if used in low power mode, as in the rest of the generations. However, the downside of this Series 10 is the reduction in thickness and the increase in the size of the screen that would increase battery consumption. But the optimization and efficiency of the new generation have allowed these figures to be maintained.
A new black color: memories of the iPhone 7’s Jet Black
We leave this section as Apple named it because it has been a great souvenir for fans of the Big Apple for years. Apple incorporated a new jet black color similar to the famous Jet Black color introduced with the iPhone 7. It is available in its aluminum casing version with its reflective finish. The process, according to Apple, relies on a 30-step anodization to achieve a deeper and brighter black.
New materials and finishes, a good evolution
Apple has made the Apple Watch Series 10 available two different finishes. The first of these, the aluminum usual, with three colors available: jet black, rose gold and silver. The novelty in the finishes of the Series 10 is that a finish of titanium, as in the case of the Apple Watch Ultra, available in three colors: natural, gold and slate. The price of these finishes obviously varies, but we will see that a little later.
In another first, Apple Watch now comes in three titanium finishes that are as stunning as they are durable. It’s made from aerospace-grade titanium, polished to a mirror-like sheen. And because titanium has a superior hardness-to-weight ratio, Series 10 is nearly 20 percent lighter than the stainless steel Series 9, without sacrificing a single micron of hardness.
New sensors to improve people’s health
Apple also wanted to take a new step in the world of health incorporating a new water temperature sensor and a depth gauge up to 6 meters for water sports, as well as the possibility of detect sleep apnea, a feature that will be integrated thanks to watchOS 11. Remember that in addition to these sensors, the Series 10 will have an electrocardiogram application, high or low heart rate notification, irregular rhythm warnings, low aerobic capacity notification, a blood oxygen monitoring application, sleep control, etc.
Vital data. The new Vital Signs app helps you identify changes in your health every day. With a quick glance at the watch, you’ll know how your body is doing at night. It shows you information about your heart rate, breathing rate, wrist temperature, and sleep duration.
Centralization of all information will be included in the application Vital signs, which includes all the health and sensor information built into the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 10, as we mentioned, has two different finishes: aluminum And titanium, each of them with boxes of two sizes: 42 mm and 46 mm. In addition, Apple offers the option of a watch with only GPS and another with GPS + mobile data thanks to the incorporation of the eSIM.
The clock of aluminum It features a matte or glossy finish with a reinforced Ion-X glass screen.

On the other hand, the clock titanium This is an aerospace grade titanium with a polished finish and an ultra-hard sapphire crystal display. Like the other finish, it is also Carbon Neutral being made of 95% recycled titanium.
This way, Aluminum finishes are available in gray, rose gold and jet black. On the other hand, in models whose finish is The colors of titanium are natural, gold and slate. These colors are mostly new and really, in the images and videos we have seen, they have a spectacular quality.
