Apple Watch Series 10 review: Subtly better

Apple's latest smartwatch is probably the best it has ever produced, but it lacks any standout features to make it exciting enough to upgrade from a recent model.

Pros

  • Bigger, better screen
  • Comfortable fit
  • Best in class features

Cons

  • Battery life still disappoints
  • Just incremental updates
  • No sleep apnoea in Australia (yet)

Remember when Apple launched the iPhone X? The brand completely skipped the iPhone 9 to implement real change with its iPhone lineup, ditching the TouchID button in favour of the advanced facial recognition camera array of Face ID.

The Apple Watch Series 10 does not offer the same revolution in design. It’s a little bigger, a little more comfortable and a little more versatile, but it’s an extremely iterative update to what has been the best smartwatch in Australia for years.

These improvements mean that it’s still the best smartwatch you can buy, but it’s really nowhere near a big enough improvement to suggest upgrading from anything later than a Series 6.
