I am personally not fan of curved displays, wondering if you notice annoying the bright reflections on the edges specially when outdoors? I can see them many times watching at your video. I tried the ultra 2 months ago and the flat screen felt much better and didn’t feel too bulky. Just too expensive and loaded of features I don’t really need

[@bobbrossify]

It’s going to scratch first off. If you can’t stand micro scratches then like whatever, that’s just guaranteed to happen for any glossy surface. That being said it’s a watch, the iPhone 7 is a phone. You know the thing you’re throwing in and out of pockets and slapping on tables and dropping on the floor. Ideally you aren’t hitting anything with a watch, it’s your wrist. How often do you slam your wrist into something? It’s a non-problem.

[@rex86uk]

I’m still rocking a series 5 coming upto 5 years now. All these new updates just don’t appeal to me. Sleep apnea if I had that I would have known by now, snorkelling? I’ve never done that. I never listen to music or make calls on the watch so upgraded speakers don’t bother me. The main things I use it for which is tracking my exercise and glancing at notications are still fine on my series 5 which is why I will keep it for another year. Faster charging is the only good thing but then again I get through the whole day with a 76% capacity and I place it on the charger every night when I put my phone on charge as well

[@pabichpawel]

Great vid! Would love to see how accurate it is for tracking laps in a pool and how it compares to AW 9.

[@leonedoro27]

Traded in my Apple Watch Ultra (after 2 years) for a 42mm jet black Series 10. It's literally half the weight. I am so much happier honestly. Just wish it had a sapphire screen.

[@talega1]

Do you keep the phone option turned ON the whole day and take a few calls/messages? How long does the battery last this way? Previous models I have seen they last significantly less when phone is on. Thx

[@BenSussmanpro]

I have the new series 10 and overall I’m happy with it, especially the weight & thinness, both of which are noticeable to me. However, I think the heart monitoring is still uneven: it understates my heart bpm in the pool. Also I think the water temp is inaccurate-I’ve seen the temp readings in my club pool as measured by the lifeguards and they are 2 degrees off from my watch (80F vs 78 on the watch). And the watch still undercounts my laps (up to 2 missed laps per mile). However, I’m still glad I upgraded from series 6. Thanks for your informative review!

Does that mean that the blood oxygen sensor is still present on an Apple Watch Series 10 purchased in the USA, it’s just not functional in the US? And as for the software, I guess it would have to be downloaded in the UK store, as it won’t be present in the US store. Am I correct?

Informative review. I'm thinking about updating my apple watch 6. I get between 2 and 2.5 days (don't have lots of complications on your main screen - keep it simple and swipe across as needed to more complicated watch faces. Only thing is my series 6 is still going strong and I'm trying to think what features in the series 10 would tempt me. Longer battery life would have been a no brainer. But thinner, a bit more screen space... I don't wear an apple watch while sleeping. I'd probably simply change at night to a mi band 9 if I did want to track sleep.
