Apple Watch Series 10 From $299
Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm)
- $399.00 save 25% - $299.00 at Amazon
- $429.00 save 23% - $329.00 at 46mm Model
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the latest mainstream model, with the Apple Watch Series 11 not expected until September. Compared to the Apple Watch Series 9, the Series 10 features a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's thinner allowing for a slimmer watch profile, a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and minor features like a water depth gauge. If you're already using an Apple Watch Series 9, the upgrade might not be compelling enough. However, for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the best Apple Watch option available.
When compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a larger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a bigger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, advanced fitness and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the Apple Watch SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the upgrades in the Series 10 make it a worthwhile investment for most users.
Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?
Although it's technically possible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Many of the Apple Watch's features are designed to work with iOS devices, and using workarounds to access these features can be cumbersome. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider purchasing an iPhone to enjoy its full capabilities. Android users have a variety of excellent smartwatches that are better suited to their devices.
