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 represents the latest mainstream model, with the next generation, Series 11, not expected until September. Notable upgrades from the Apple Watch Series 9 include a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that, while not faster, is thinner, allowing for a slimmer watch profile, a slightly larger base model size (42mm compared to 41mm), and additional features such as a water depth gauge. If you're already using a Series 9, the upgrade might not be compelling enough. However, for first-time Apple Watch buyers, the Series 10 is the top choice for most people.

Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a bigger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a larger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, enhanced fitness and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. Although the Apple Watch SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the enhancements in the Series 10 justify the investment for the majority of users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

While it's technically feasible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we strongly advise against it. Apple has designed the Apple Watch to work optimally with iOS devices, meaning many key features are unavailable without an iPhone. Workarounds exist, but they're cumbersome for most users. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider switching to an iPhone. For those content with Android, there are numerous compatible smartwatches that would serve you better.
