The Apple Watch Series 10 is the newest mainstream model in Apple’s lineup, with the Series 11 not expected until September. Compared to the Series 9, it features a larger OLED Retina display, a thinner S10 chip (which allows for a sleeker design despite similar performance), a slightly bigger base size (42mm vs. 41mm), and minor additions like a water depth gauge. While Series 9 owners may not find enough upgrades to justify a switch, first-time buyers will find the Series 10 to be the ideal entry point into the Apple Watch ecosystem.

When stacked against the more budget-friendly Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 pulls ahead with a larger 42mm case (vs. 40mm), an Always-On Retina display, a 30% more capable processor, double the storage, enhanced fitness and health sensors, double-tap gesture control, and faster charging. Though the SE is currently priced at $199 on Amazon, the added features of the Series 10 make it a worthwhile upgrade for most users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with an Android Phone?

While it's technically possible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android device, it's not practical. Most of the watch’s core features rely on an iPhone and iOS integration. Workarounds exist, but they’re limited and often frustrating. For the full experience, pairing with an iPhone is essential. If you’re committed to Android, you’ll have better luck with a smartwatch built for that ecosystem.
