The Apple Watch Series 10 is now a reality. Apple was in charge of shaping a large number of new devices yesterday, 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. In addition, new sensors have been integrated to improve monitoring of users' health as well as new colors and titanium finishes, similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, available for pre-order today.
Thinner and bigger: much improved dimensions
The Apple Watch Series 10 could be defined in two adjectives: thinner and larger. The new Apple Watch features a new LTPO3 OLED retina display with always-on technology. OLED technology allows for a wide viewing angle, increasing brightness by up to 2.000 nits, up to 40% from any angle.
In addition, not only does this new screen and its increase in size compared to previous generations attract attention, but It is also the thinnest watch Apple has ever created. To achieve this, Apple has designed all the components from scratch: from the Digital Crown, to the SiP, through the front glass or the antenna embedded inside. The differences with the Series 0 or 8 are very marked, but if we compare it with the Series 9 the difference is abysmal. In fact, the data offered by Apple is that the Series 3 It is up to 75% larger than the Series 3 and 30% larger than the Series 4, 5, 6 and SE.
Furthermore, the Apple Watch Series 10 is available from two new case sizes: 42 mm and 46 mm, compared to the 41 and 45mm case 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 incorporated S10 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.
Thanks to this technology, Apple can say that 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 drawback of this Series 10 is the reduction in thickness, and the increase in screen that would increase battery consumption. But the optimization and efficiency of the new generation has been able to maintain those figures.
A new black color: memories of the iPhone 7's Jet Black
We left this section as Apple has named it because it is a great memory for fans of the Big Apple for years. Apple has incorporated a new jet black color similar to the popular Jet Black color introduced with the iPhone 7. It is available in an aluminum case version with a reflective finish. The process, according to Apple, is based on a 30-stage anodization to achieve a deeper, brighter black.
New materials and finishes, a good evolution
Apple has made the Apple Watch Series 10 available two different finishes. The first of them, 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 black finish is available titanium, As is the case with the Apple Watch Ultra, which is available in three colors: natural, gold, and slate. The price of these finishes obviously varies, but we'll get to that a little later.
Another first: Apple Watch now comes in three stunning, durable titanium finishes. It’s crafted from aerospace-grade titanium that’s polished to a mirror-like shine. And because of titanium’s excellent strength-to-weight ratio, Series 10 is nearly 20 percent lighter than the stainless steel Series 9, without sacrificing strength by a micron.
New sensors to improve people's health
Apple also wanted to take a further step in the world of health incorporating a new water temperature sensor and depth gauge of up to 6 meters for water sports, as well as the possibility of detect sleep apnea, a feature that will be incorporated thanks to watchOS 11. Remember, that in addition to these sensors, the Series 10 will have an electrocardiogram app, notification of high or low heart rates, irregular rhythm warnings, notification of low aerobic capacity, an application for monitoring blood oxygen, sleep control, etc.
Data that matters. The new Vital Signs app helps you identify changes in your daily health. With just a glance at your watch, you'll know how your body has behaved during the night. It shows you information about your heart rate and breathing rate, the temperature of your wrist, and how long you've been sleeping.
The centralization of all information will be included within the app Vital Signs, which includes all the information related to health and the sensors built into the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 10, as we have commented, has two different finishes: aluminum y titanium, each of them with two case 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 aluminum It has a matte or glossy finish with a reinforced Ion-X glass display. It is also responsible for Apple's Carbon Neutral commitment, with the watch being completely 100% recycled as long as it is combined with certain straps, as confirmed by Apple. On the other hand, the watch of titanium It is an aerospace-grade titanium with a polished finish and a super-hard sapphire crystal display. Like the other finish, it is also Carbon Neutral, being 95% recycled titanium.
Thus, Aluminum finishes are available in grey, rose gold and jet black. However, in the models whose finish is the titanium colors 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.
