Apple Watch Series 10 After 1 Month: NOT What I Expected

[@kato1557]

I got the 46mm Jet Black Series 10 as my very first Apple Watch and I have to say, I love it immensely. This is absolutely the color to get, looking sleek and stylish and the battery easily lasts me throughout the day with still 40% when I go to sleep at night. I developed a charging routine every morning when I shower and I leave the house with 88%. The new ultra fast charging capability for this year’s model is amazing. No issues with battery whatsoever after the 11.0.1 update!

[@Allejo1988]

I Like the jet black but I got. the Silver one. Better to Match with Most Outfits and Looks more classy.

[@skyforce95]

Any issues with get scratches with the jet black color?

[@coolkidnathan_1]

I've had it for bout a month and loving it so far! (Upgraded from 44 Space Gray S4 to 46 Jet Black S10)

[@pug_63]

When I was purchasing my first Apple Watch, I went in my local Apple Store and tried on all colours, sizes and models. Ended up with a 41 Nike Series 7 in Starlight. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the content.

[@warrengaskin3863]

I replaced my 44 mm Series 5 with the 46 mm Series 10 a few days ago. The Series 10 is a little larger on my wrist but actually feels a little more comfortable. Most importantly the battery life of the 10 is on a level that my 5 could never reach even when it was new

[@rajeshjena8539]

I am very happy with my 42mm s10. Gps + cellular...my first apple watch The small one is very good on small wrists like me... The big one doesn't look like a watch on hand... One thing i wanna say.. If you really leave your phone in house while u go out... Or heavy mobile user where ur phone battery runs out then only go for cellular otherwise save ur money.. I am using since last 30 days i haven't solely use the cellular feature..

[@akio2730]

I think the silver colour lets you to pair the watch with much more different straps.

[@MarvPianist]

I also had the problem with the camera app and turns out you need to unlock your iPhone to let the picture show up on the Apple Watch. If you’re just opening the camera without unlocking the iPhone you will get no picture on the watch.

[@dimifons]

I still have my series 5 and it does everything that I need from a fitness tracker so I will just keep it until it's broken

[@Sharky1986]

Same, and it also looks like they've changed NOTHING of the design. The Ultra 2 looks like an actual upgrade at least.

[@GoofyahhuncIeproductions2024]

They did change the design of the series 10. It’s much more comfortable than the older models. But I respect your decision of not upgrading because it support watchOS 11

[@warrengaskin3863]

@@GoofyahhuncIeproductions2024you’re right, I upgraded to the 10 from my old Series 5 a few days ago and the 10 definitely feels more comfortable on my wrist, even more importantly the battery life of the 10 is on a level that my Series 5 could never achieve even when new

[@carbb5760]

I decided to go ultra but I’m really thinking of exchanged for s10. Ultra is bulky and while is has some nice features I’m finding it’s actually a bit uncomfortable

[@danielfirdaus]

I really miss the blue, the green, the product(Red) of series 7 and the silver stainless steel. I don’t know if I could ever upgrade after this 41 mm silver stainless steel the series 9 and blue aluminum series 7. Also now the smaller variant is kinda huge to my wrist

[@_icscata_]

Everyone is buying black but (product)red is the most beautiful color. People buying (product)red also helps the fight against diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. A portion of the proceeds from (RED)-branded products goes directly to the Global Fund to support programs that provide prevention, treatment, and care for people affected by these diseases. (Product)red for a chance at life always when available!! 🥰🩸 (I love my red Series9) 🥰

[@denvernaicker8250]

There are soo many bugs with touch and software for iPhone 16 pro max and now with the apple watch, honestly feeling kind of regret switching to Apple. Macbook M1 works okay for now

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for another balanced review. I've got the 45mm non-cell Series 9 that I'll be sticking with for a while, it's a great watch. I'm in the US so I was able to use the sleep apnea feature (I'm old, and it was a concern) but I too got tired of tracking my sleep. Who wants confirmation they got a lousy night's sleep?

[@DanKapil]

Could I ask for an opinion, coming from a series 5, should I save some money and get an s9 or just go for the s10? I’m a very casual user, I don’t use crazy tracking metrics, but would love more battery life and the new screens that melt into the sides from s7+.

[@on2a]

Interested to know what you did. Based on what you said a 9 sounds like a no brainer tbh. Unless you specifically want a larger screen and thinner frame of the 10

[@pudgespracticalposts342]

Agree with you re the titanium price. These are, after all, tech devices and they will go EOL long before those cases will ever degrade. These aren’t collectible timepieces either. I enjoy using them, but my Apple Watch 7 is already less than 80% battery. They just don’t last, but I can’t justify that price for titanium knowing the device HW won’t last. Great video.

[@Carlos-v2k7u]

Would u recommend the 10 or the ultra 2?

[@wmelon84]

hi there @KyleErickson, could you please share the brand and model of your glasses? i think thry're great! thanks in advance!

[@mryong4021]

How’s the jet black color holding up, does it scratch?

[@GoofyahhuncIeproductions2024]

Yeah, it does scratch 😂

[@mryong4021]

@@GoofyahhuncIeproductions2024 🤣🤣🤣

[@seamusslater3888]

Bezels, it’s got tiny bezels compared to older versions and that’s the game changer for me

[@OnAirVoice]

Happy with my S10 so far, just upgraded from an S1 this week.

[@thickernell]

I think there is a negative that bears mentioning that I imagine you don’t have in Canada. We no longer have the SPO2 feature in the US because Apple has never settled the patent infringement. I do miss that as I have to go back to a finger oximeter.

[@ivpxs]

Kyle, after years of observing tech-yt, you are the best reviewer for me! Well earned sub and bell!

[@KyleErickson]

thanks dude! appreciate you

[@matews6]

Indeed

[@CleanDesign_]

Just wondering for those in the comments and for Kyle. Does everyone use the mode where your screen is always on? I have heard a lot of people saying their watch battery (from various generations) barely gets them through the day. I am on a Series 7 and I can get through 1 1/2- 2 days even though the watch is a bit old now. I use the mode where you raise your wrist to wake the watch. Curious how different the battery life is in these two modes for different watches and users. What mode was used in this review? Is there any advantage to having the screen always on?

[@derrickboyd3514]

I leave the alway on feature on simply because it looks nicer and more like a watch than a blank screen. I’ll make my watch face and band match my clothes in some way and that’s more visible with the always on feature

[@derrickboyd3514]

It usually lasts be the day on a series 8

[@gmpro28]

I have the S10 42mm. The Always On display is enabled, and I still have 60-70% battery at the end of the day. It also charges really fast!

[@Krishnashares]

For a moment I thought you are wearing the 42mm version. Your wrists make the 46m look smaller :D

[@susanleach9106]

The only reason I am upgrading from the series 8 to 10 is there have been many suggestions Apple is going to change the band connection to magnetic. I have a lot of bands which I don’t want to loose the capacity to still wear

[@PopAndBubbles]

Hello sir, 😊 is that 42mm or 46mm on your wrist? 😊

[@KyleErickson]

46

[@PopAndBubbles]

@@KyleErickson thank you.

[@flyersgurl71]

Do you notice any scratches on it? No one seems to have reported on if it scratches easily like the iPhone 7 did years back.

[@KyleErickson]

all good so far!

[@chrisvaldivieso8685]

I have the same watch and it’s been fine with no scratches

[@phillipm9758]

Have had mine almost a month, no scratches

[@deans6571]

I only have a S7 so this S10 is a definite worthy upgrade. 👍🏼

[@engelbert611]

I'm surprised that people aren't talking more about the reduced thickness. I found previous Apple Watches always looked little bit too bulky on my wrist and I think this really improved with this version. By the way, Kyle: The shots in your videos are really amazing!

[@KyleErickson]

Appreciate you!

[@kashishsharma1093]

Hey Kyle, great video. I got my Series 10 46mm gps only (jet black) on 20th last month. I upgraded from SE Gen 1. So far I am loving it. No battery drain issues in my unit. I also really appreciate the thin design compared to the SE, it somehow sits closer to the wrist and feels more comfortable. The thing which I absolutely love is the fast charging, it is a real blessing. Having said that, if it could somehow manage to give a 2-3 day battery life would make it perfect.

[@darlinlopez1215]

The only reason I got the series 10 cuz found one brand new in facebook marketplace for $300 46mm jet black. If wouldn’t for that I woulda stay with my series’s 9

[@Sam-Ham512]

i have an apple watch series 2 i should maybe just maybe upgrade.

[@jonathanleonard9507]

do you need to turn off the watch? does it drain a lot when it's on and not on your wrist or while you sleep?

[@-savy-]

What a mad lad haha. Glad you enjoying the 10.

[@ourvioletroom]

Traded in my ultra for this. Love it. Much better for sleep tracking too.

[@WhittyPics]

The titanium is a lot more premium and it comes with cellular, so if you factor that in it is $200 more

[@steveasher9239]

Thanks for your thoughtful assessment/reviews.

[@Bushidounohana]

Agreed on the distaste for “game-ifying” everything, though I do track my sleep and keep the data accumulating for diagnostic purposes (so I don’t live and breathe in the data, but do reference it in relation to other health issues). Technology has certainly put us in the unique position of being able to track so much from home, and with near medical grade accuracy, so treading the thin line of sanity can be incredibly tricky and one size certain does not fit all. Also, put me down for “yes” for the watch that buzzes to remind me to insert dramatic pauses, best closers in the business, good sir, as always!

[@miccakoster3838]

I get over 2 days with my Apple Watch 10

[@poeterritory]

Great review. Sounds like I should hold off so they can fix their issues.

[@harshitkumar8565]

How are you playing the Spotify directly from the speaker of the watch can you plz make a video or explain it as my watch is not playing music on its speaker from Spotify , I have 10 series

[@GeorgeKnighton]

You asked if we saw anything unique enough to be worth an upgrade. Watch 8 here and no, not yet. Titanium and the super hard glass is tempting, but will wait for next processor and maybe Band 71. Good review!

[@GodOfWar109]

I have a 8 and UW2. The SIP is night a day, you can actually see how much faster the U is compared to the 8

[@GeorgeKnighton]

@@GodOfWar109 Thank you. I will consider it!

[@JuanMolina-wr2oz]

Good and thoughtful review. I agree 100% with you regarding tracking your sleep. It became a burden rather than a useful tool for me too 😴

[@CamOzone]

Your beard is looking immaculate

[@midge148]

Still rocking a 44 series 4. I will probably get a 10 soon.

[@user28495]

great video thanks for posting

[@RichardMathew277]

Idk why this series 10's screen bezel looks bigger when compared to the series 9. Is it actually a bigger bezel when compared to series 9?

[@on2a]

You can bet series 11 will have a smaller bezel and apple will use it as an opportunity to talk about an infinity display or something like that

[@DanKapil]

I dislike sleep tracking for the same reason, the “bad sleep” that never used to bother me suddenly started making me feel terrible. 100% agree not every aspect of my life needs to be gamified!

[@tariqphoto]

i wouldnt be able to sleep because it was trying harder to fall asleep to get better stats. It had a reverse effect in making my sleep worse. now i sleep without my watch on and sleep much better.

[@bizkurt99]

Idk man maybe just use it as a STAT SHEET and not make yourself fit into this "OPTIMIZED" box..?

[@winstonyou366]

didnt the screen nott get bigger since the bezels got bigger?

[@spaceNutik]

Pretty please.. what color band is this?

[@wellman8998]

I’ve got the series 6. Is it worth updating yet ?

[@legotech101]

Using a series 7 and just can’t justify a new watch, all I wanted was more battery life and they really didn’t deliver there.

[@Desilv]

I come from a series 7 to and the battery life of the 10 is insane ! 36 hours without charging and working out

[@legotech101]

@Desilv is that with low power mode tho?

[@Desilv]

@@legotech101 no not even haha it’s insane.. just disabled a lot of background apps that doesn’t really matter to me.. I only use like music, workout, heartbeat, maps, and some else in the background .. the rest is not needed .. but I have the idea that it doesn’t impact it as much as for usability because it still working perfect while background is being disabled.. I get all the data from those apps so win win..

why the hell is there a $300 up charge just for a different case finish

[@KyleErickson]

to be fair, you also get the cellular functionality so it would be more on the aluminum side as well... but I'm still not sure 1mm of titanium is worth that much lol

[@Fieldoftheatres]

Front sapphire glass upgrade. Yes it does look more fashionable and a statement piece “To Be Honest”. Some people are just willing to spend what else to say.

[@rohannshetty5048]

new watch face and vital app

[@IronicElm]

Are you or anyone else using a screen protector?

[@rjbuan22]

I do. And also a case as well. The case I bought is not compatible with a screen protector so the corner of the protector bubbles up

Thought about smiling a little bit more?

Not in the slightest. If you're looking for someone to smile their way through videos, this isn't the channel for you
