While making the device thinner helps reduce bulk, it’s important to remember that watches with a height nearly matching the width of a person's wrist often appear oversized. The original "large" Apple Watch was 42mm, which many found too big, and they were glad that a smaller 38mm option was always available. Over several generations, the "small" Apple Watch has gradually increased in size, and we’ve now reached a point where today’s "small" matches the original "large" in dimensions, aside from a thinner profile. I don’t quite understand the need for this size creep in recent models, especially since the Ultra seems to satisfy the demand for a larger Apple Watch. I’ve been using a 40mm Series 5, and I still have my original 42mm 1st-generation watch on a shelf. Trying it on now looks ridiculous, I can’t see myself upgrading to a Series 10.
Good point FC. I think the 'looks ridiculous' is somewhat subjective. I have tiny wrists and wear massive watches. And yeah, maybe they look ridiculous but I've grown used to the massive size.

@@mlegrand I should have been more specific, I personally find the 42mm 1st gen to appear ridiculous on my own wrist 😆. I switched to the 38mm and then the 40mm on a Series 5. Whichever size others choose and love, go for it!
I'm not actually a watch guy but my observation is that big chunky watches are in style right now, at least for men. I agree though that there should always be a small option. Maybe it's time they introduce 3 model sizes.
Per Apple: 40mm, 41mm, and 42mm bands are all compatible with 40mm, 41mm, 42mm case sizes. 44mm, 45mm, 46mm, and 49mm bands are all compatible with 44mm, 45mm, 46mm, and 49mm case sizes. Glad to see the rumors of a new band size were unfounded and I can use my old 44mm and up bands.
Ok, this is really good to know. I was thinking that they were centralizing on the larger watch band size (44/45). Where did you find that? Thanks for the help!
@@AdamSmith-fe9jfIt's that overlap of the Series 1 42mm and the new Series 10 42mm that started confusion that Apple didn't make clear when I checked. 9to5 Mac posts: Older Apple Watch bands, including 41mm and 45mm sizes, will be compatible with the new 42mm and 46mm cases, and all new 42mm and 46mm bands will be compatible with older Apple Watch models. However, Apple has introduced a new band size that better fits the new 42mm Apple Watch Series 10. Customers can choose between the universal fitting or the new one.

Fantastic, thoughtful video. I'm excited to see some comparisons to the AWU-2. If the S10 and S9 SIPs are extremely similar, then I feel like the AWU-2 stands out for: (1) battery life, (2) action button whereas the AWS10, Titanium stands out for its sleeker look and more comfortable feel. Personally I think I prefer the look of the AWU-2.... but I think this is going to be a tough choice for me.
I keen to view some serious durability test between Apple Watch 10 titanium and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (black). I wonder which titanium material is better against occasional scratches between the two.
I typically do these 100 day reviews so I'll probably be wearing an AWS10 and AWU2 Black on each wrists for the next big block to see how durability is between these two watches. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Three size choices would be pretty cool to see. But I think the thinner watch with less depth is going to make this watch feel smaller. . . . or maybe less bulky is a better way to put it.

I think that's a great upgrade. You were able to get massive value out of the AWS6 and I'll be very curious to hear what you think about this new one. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Compared with s8, the biggest difference between s9 and s10 is the screen and chip. I also plan to change to s10 this year, but in fact, it does not necessarily need to be replaced with s10. Because the siri response speed and faster voice input brought about by the upgrade of the s9 chip actually brings a completely different experience from s8. But i think the chip of s10 should be same as from s9. But I think it's more disappointing that the screen frame has actually become more thicker. Does this mean that the next generation or the next next generation or the next next next generation will narrow the current frame as the main selling point? ha At that time, 46mm will be upgraded to 48mm or 49mm, but the size of the watch will not change.
I have the Apple Watch Ultra, and I’m looking at my options. Since there is no Ultra 3, the 10 might be intriguing. I’m curious how this compares to the Ultra 2
@@rizalhonyaif you are an athlete you need the action button. Not sure why they didn’t add the action button to the series 10. The difference betttwen the two should be battery, titanium and sport related stuff like better gps, scuba diving, etc.
It's odd that the Ultra 2 Black doesn't have a HR sensor update. It seems like Apple would want to fix that spO2 issue as soon as possible. Maybe I'll make a video talking about it. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I bet you're right. The SE watches are a great value! Do you think you'll upgrade any time soon? Or are you pretty happy with it? Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Currently wearing an Ultra 2 from last year. As a trainer, the ticking seconds hand is almost as valuable to me as having AOD. I am guessing that the 1-second refresh rate is only with the Apple Watch 10 and its new chip (and not on the refresh of the Ultra in Satin Black)?
Thank you! I am going to review the new Black Ultra at some point. It's just a color change so I'll have to figure out something clever to say. 😂 Hope you and your family are doing well!
I’m really curious how the 46mm would feel. I currently have the series 8 41mm and it’s a bit small, I just wonder if it’ll be uncomfortable jumping to the larger 46mm display for my next watch
I believe it’ll take some getting used to and then you wouldn’t notice it after a bit. The fact that this is slimmer will also help. But I guess there’s only one way to find out. 🙌 I’m pretty used to my AWU and that thing is massive. Best of luck. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I think it would be interesting to know how well the battery life lasts when using maps. I find way more convenient using them while walking and paying with the apple watch rather than with the phone. Ps. I was excited of the supposed new design, flat like the iPad and iPhone sides but instead it remained curved 🤧
I’m with you. I thought we were going to see smaller Apple Watch Ultras. 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Do you have a picture or comparison of a side by side with the new sizes? Comparing the 41mm to the new 42 and the 45mm to the 46mm? Just trying to decide if I go with the 42 or 46? I have small wrists, however the 45 does not look too big? But it’s close. I have been having difficulty seeing close up, so trying to decide if the new 42 with bigger screen is enough or if I go with the 46mm? Thanks for your help!
That’s exactly my dilemma. I have preordered the 42 titanium but am unsure whether the display is going to look too small. I have never had an iWatch before (always had a Fitbit) but my eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be and haven’t got a clue if the display will be too small. But I didn’t want to get a ‘man-sized’ watch either. I am not sure if I should have chosen the bigger size though?
@@alexbarton666 it's not tho. And the graph on Reddit shows the old 38/41 mm bands won't work on the new 42mm. lol I'm the one that made and posted the graph
I will find out. I've got one on order and will do my 100 day review after a while. I imagine that it'll scratch a little but it sounds like Apple has done a pretty good job with the manufacturing of this particular color. 🤷♂️
Same pixel density at 326 pixels per inch but the new watches have a bigger display with more total pixels making it a higher resolution display than the previous devices. Thanks Mark!
What is your daily watch? I have the the UW1, decided what to do with AW10, UW2, or wait until next year. I recently had heart surgery, so also deciding how important O2 sensor is. Sleep apnea feature is intriguing, because my watch won't do that. Thanks.
Because I’m trying to test as many watches as possible I really don’t have a daily watch. I’m almost always wearing two watches. But I tend to wear an AWU and a Garmin a lot. But really whatever review is coming up next. I’m sure you won’t hear this from many reviewers but if your AWU1 is holding up well, I’d wait until next year. We have no idea what they’ll announce but they might do a new watch band attachment or blood pressure or a completely different design 🤷🏻♂️. Who knows. But if you can, I’d wait and max out the value that you’ve paid for with that AWU.

@@earlbee3196 - I think you should go for the larger one personally. I'll have both sizes here in my hands here in the next few days but it'll take me a while to make and post my full in-depth review. I'll show both of these on both my wrists and my wife's wrists. My wrists are 165mm.
How important is the intro, those first 33 seconds of a video, well... Yes, you just showed us all. Thanks for the review, and yes, the size of any watch's screen is important. I used to rock the 51mm Garmin Fenix 7 and it was pretty awesome 😎 And yes, I watched your video on 4K on my Acer 28-inch monitor.

Will wait for your review of the watch, having a 2nd Gen SE, seeing if it will be a worthy upgrade. BTW, nothing in the event did they mention about the Pulse Ox being integrated into the watch, unless I missed it.
I didn’t hear anything about the blood oxygen saturation sensor either 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Wow! Thank you Nate! I should have some more Apple Watch content coming up soon! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Good question. I think what you'd find is that it's a significantly slimmer watch when compared to the AWU. 9.7 vs 14.4mm But if your AWU is holding up well you could wait and see what Apple does next year. 🤷♂️
You should, BESTBUY is offering me 330 for my series 9 41mm GPS. So I’m sure ultra 1 should be same or more. Go for it. Will basically be paying $150 out of pocket
Approx what will be the battery difference between 42mm and 46mm , i have ordered 42mm and kinda feel regret that i should have gone for 46mm. Please console me
There shouldn’t be a super significant battery difference. I’ve ordered them both and will do some direct comparisons. I’ll also show them on my tiny wrists and my wife’s wrists for some real world comparisons. It’ll just take me a week or so to make the video. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Dude, you are so quick with b-roll footage that appear to be fresh graphics you made yourself. Do you have a team that does this? Great visualizations and editing.
I don't have a team unfortunately. I made all of these graphics myself. I really enjoy that aspect of making these videos. I felt like some of the visualizations hung on a little too long. But I'll get better at making these videos. Thank you Victor for all of the kind words and for taking the time to watch this video. I really do appreciate it.
Im wondering how the gold and slate color on the s10 watch gonna scratch, if it's strong enough to not scratch that easily? I feel like if they scratch it wont look as good, ima atleest wait for a scratch test video on those titanium watches before i buy one, really like thst gold color on it
I’m really worried about that slate color. 😬 I’ll do an additional review after 100 days and use a macro lens to look for scratches. Might be ugly. 🤦♂️
I"m still ver surprised that battery life isn't a factor on this device in Apple's mind. There's been a few times that where Apple has increased the efficacy of the Apple Watch but not thought that people would love more battery life but instead want the display to refresh more frequently or add some other small feature. It'd be interesting to see what people do if given a choice in a settings menu somewhere. 🤷♂️
@@mlegrand The average end user of an Apple Watch likely charges it next to their phone every night. While I'd like more battery life, a Garmin is designed for a significantly more rugged lifestyle than the AW. A 30 minute dive demolishes the battery on my Ultra 2, but it also eats crazy battery life out of my $2,000 Shearwater Perdix also. Usage dictates actual battery life. Always on display, constantly refreshing notifications and email, etc. eat up more battery.
I really wish we would ALL COLLECTIVELY 👉scrutinize👈 Garmin Watch OLED displays the same way, instead of just saying "this is good enough".🙄 Their AOD is garbage, compared to Galaxy Smart Watch from 7 years ago!
Man i need help deciding cannot make up my mind between venu 3 and 265 for the past week, because the v3 is 350 euros rn and the 265 is 430 and they are practically the same watch its just one doesnt have ecg new sensor mic and speaker and the other has all the training features and readiness if im not mistaken
@@bhili2510 - The Venu 3 might the way to go then. It’s designed to be a slightly smarter smart watch than the 265. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand Okey that clears up a lot, but the 265 is just a venu 3 pretty much though right with the training features? since i think it has all the health metric and wellness features from the venu3 since updates because, i know i wont be using the speaker nor the mic/ voice assistant
I know right? I'm looking into this now. It seems like the HR sensor is the same which means that the AWU 2 won't have spO2 but I'm not sure about AWS10. I'm looking into it for my next video. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment Henry! I really appreciate it. 👍
I believe Apple Watch Series 10 still has the sensor but will still be deactivated in the U.S. with a different model number for models sold in United States, just like the Series 9.
As a health care provider, I can confirm that the watch Sp02 monitor is not as accurate as a true pulse oximeter. Use the watch as a guide, but don’t get too focused on the watch reading
@@claudiamartin9700100% right. Same goes for sleep apnea. People also asking for blood glucose monitoring really can’t put much faith into the watch. Like you said, these are all meant to be used as guides, almost worthy of a “for entertainment use only” asterisk.
I came upon your really informative conversation by googling-“what size, 42 mm or 46 mm should women wear.” All I see are pictures of men working out. Dont women wear Iwatches? I have small wrists. Will the 46mm be too big? I wish tech bro information would include women. I guess by definition, it doesnt..LOL!😅
Hi Paula, I wish there were more women making smart watch content here on TH-cam. I don't see a ton currently. One thing I do is try to show whatever watch I'm testing on both my and my wife's wrists. She doesn't love being on camera but it's nice for people to see what these watches will look like on her wrists. I'm working on an in-depth review of these new Apple Watches.

Yeah, 🤦♂️ Mistakes like this hurt to put out in front of everyone. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
show me the one sane person who would listen music or whatever from their 18 hour battery lasting watches?!?🤣🤣 p.s. also sleep apnea is fully software feature and s9 will have it but previous models wont,because?! because why....apple thought
And music kills battery life. But I’m guessing the sleep apnea needs the S9 chip for its machine learning capabilities. The S9 and S10 chips seem like the same chip from what I can tell. I’ll dig into some of this in an upcoming video. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I couldn't care less about how thin the device is. Overall, with the exception of the Apnea detection, irrelevant changes. Very disappointing. The same lame and unreasonably 18 hours of battery life or even the 36 hours of the Ultra 2 can't compete with Gamin AMOLED watches (Forerunner 965, Epix 1, 2, Fenix E, Fenix 8) and especially with the MIP watches (forerunner 955, Fenix 7, Fenix 7 pro, Enduro 2, 3, Fenix 8 Solar); again Apple Watch lacks relevant physiological parameters for athletes, lacks topological maps, useful navigation, even the flashlight... but the same battery is a shame. Apple want us to keep petting the AW as a Tamagotchi... but its 2024 !!!
The battery life was very surprising to me. I heard more efficient and thought right away that they'd put that towards Apple Watch. They seem to really believe that people are ok with charging their watch every day. 🤦♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I care very much about the depth and weight, I know many do. I absolutely hate a bulky and heavy watch, I can't stand them. I charge my phone at night and do the same for my watch so I couldn't care less about the battery as long as it lasts throughout the day.
Ugg, I wish I was trying to be cute by say "steal" when referring to the $700 titanium versions of this watch but sadly it was just a mistake on my part. 🤦♂️
Yeah, square watches are an odd design choice but people seem to like them. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand I mean, I get it. It's better for showing information so it's more like a computer screen than a traditional watch so they went with that. I guess I'm just not the smartwatch type :) Keep it up, I always enjoy your videos.
Yeah you are in the minority for sure. 😝Have you ever seen the square and rectangular watches made by Cartier? If anything they maybe the pretiest watches and they are not round.

I think that's a great upgrade. You were able to get massive value out of the AWS6 and I'll be very curious to hear what you think about this new one. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Same. Waited for another true black Apple Watch to replace my 6.
Compared with s8, the biggest difference between s9 and s10 is the screen and chip. I also plan to change to s10 this year, but in fact, it does not necessarily need to be replaced with s10.
Because the siri response speed and faster voice input brought about by the upgrade of the s9 chip actually brings a completely different experience from s8. But i think the chip of s10 should be same as from s9.
But I think it's more disappointing that the screen frame has actually become more thicker. Does this mean that the next generation or the next next generation or the next next next generation will narrow the current frame as the main selling point? ha
At that time, 46mm will be upgraded to 48mm or 49mm, but the size of the watch will not change.
Ha! 😂 - That wouldn't surprise me. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I have the Apple Watch Ultra, and I’m looking at my options. Since there is no Ultra 3, the 10 might be intriguing. I’m curious how this compares to the Ultra 2
Dont bother bro, performance wise i think Ultra 2 still wins. Wait another year for Ultra 3
@@rizalhonyaif you are an athlete you need the action button. Not sure why they didn’t add the action button to the series 10. The difference betttwen the two should be battery, titanium and sport related stuff like better gps, scuba diving, etc.
Why the hell do you want to upgrade anyway
It's odd that the Ultra 2 Black doesn't have a HR sensor update. It seems like Apple would want to fix that spO2 issue as soon as possible. Maybe I'll make a video talking about it. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I have an Apple Watch SE 44mm looks like screen size is very comparable to the new 42mm
I bet you're right. The SE watches are a great value! Do you think you'll upgrade any time soon? Or are you pretty happy with it? Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand it’s the first generation se it won’t be getting the new update so I think it might be time for an upgrade
Currently wearing an Ultra 2 from last year. As a trainer, the ticking seconds hand is almost as valuable to me as having AOD.
I am guessing that the 1-second refresh rate is only with the Apple Watch 10 and its new chip (and not on the refresh of the Ultra in Satin Black)?
That would be my guess as well.
@@mlegrand Thank you. 👍
Another awesome video. Great work Matt.
Thank you Roman!
Your reviews are so good. still loving my "old" ultra (from last year). : D
Thank you! I am going to review the new Black Ultra at some point. It's just a color change so I'll have to figure out something clever to say. 😂 Hope you and your family are doing well!
I’m really curious how the 46mm would feel. I currently have the series 8 41mm and it’s a bit small, I just wonder if it’ll be uncomfortable jumping to the larger 46mm display for my next watch
I believe it’ll take some getting used to and then you wouldn’t notice it after a bit. The fact that this is slimmer will also help. But I guess there’s only one way to find out. 🙌 I’m pretty used to my AWU and that thing is massive. Best of luck. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I think it would be interesting to know how well the battery life lasts when using maps. I find way more convenient using them while walking and paying with the apple watch rather than with the phone.
Ps. I was excited of the supposed new design, flat like the iPad and iPhone sides but instead it remained curved 🤧
I’m with you. I thought we were going to see smaller Apple Watch Ultras. 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Outrageous review 💥
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Solid video Matt.
Enjoy testing this once you get one
Water temp for swim is good.
Will do! Thank you!
Do you have a picture or comparison of a side by side with the new sizes? Comparing the 41mm to the new 42 and the 45mm to the 46mm? Just trying to decide if I go with the 42 or 46? I have small wrists, however the 45 does not look too big? But it’s close. I have been having difficulty seeing close up, so trying to decide if the new 42 with bigger screen is enough or if I go with the 46mm? Thanks for your help!
Not yet! I am hoping to have something soon. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
That’s exactly my dilemma. I have preordered the 42 titanium but am unsure whether the display is going to look too small. I have never had an iWatch before (always had a Fitbit) but my eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be and haven’t got a clue if the display will be too small. But I didn’t want to get a ‘man-sized’ watch either. I am not sure if I should have chosen the bigger size though?
Rember the old 38/41 mm bands won't work on the new 42mm. All watches take 45mm bands now
Very good point God Of War.
This is incorrect. I confirmed this with Apple support and there’s a compatibility graph on Reddit.
@@alexbarton666 it's not tho. And the graph on Reddit shows the old 38/41 mm bands won't work on the new 42mm. lol I'm the one that made and posted the graph

Hi Matt,
Do you think the Jet Black version will scratch as easily as the iPhone 7 Jet Black?
I will find out. I've got one on order and will do my 100 day review after a while. I imagine that it'll scratch a little but it sounds like Apple has done a pretty good job with the manufacturing of this particular color. 🤷♂️
same resolution tho right? (ie ppi) plus Sapphire is WAY more durable. old Apple Ion-x screens scratch like crazy
Same pixel density at 326 pixels per inch but the new watches have a bigger display with more total pixels making it a higher resolution display than the previous devices. Thanks Mark!
What is your daily watch? I have the the UW1, decided what to do with AW10, UW2, or wait until next year. I recently had heart surgery, so also deciding how important O2 sensor is. Sleep apnea feature is intriguing, because my watch won't do that. Thanks.
Because I’m trying to test as many watches as possible I really don’t have a daily watch. I’m almost always wearing two watches. But I tend to wear an AWU and a Garmin a lot. But really whatever review is coming up next.
I’m sure you won’t hear this from many reviewers but if your AWU1 is holding up well, I’d wait until next year. We have no idea what they’ll announce but they might do a new watch band attachment or blood pressure or a completely different design 🤷🏻♂️. Who knows. But if you can, I’d wait and max out the value that you’ve paid for with that AWU.
@@mlegrand thanks!
@@mlegrand I may keep UW1 and pick up a GPS Series 10. Would have options then. We'll see!
Intro song is ‘Diluted’ by ‘Aiyo’. Such a banger

@@mlegrandthank you for the review! Definitely made my choice a lot easier
What Apple Watch series 10 size should I get for my seven inch wrist?
You’re going to get used to whichever size you pick. Which size do you want?
@@mlegrand if I'm thinking of the 46 mm Apple Watch Series 10.
@@earlbee3196 - I think you should go for the larger one personally. I'll have both sizes here in my hands here in the next few days but it'll take me a while to make and post my full in-depth review. I'll show both of these on both my wrists and my wife's wrists. My wrists are 165mm.
How important is the intro, those first 33 seconds of a video, well... Yes, you just showed us all. Thanks for the review, and yes, the size of any watch's screen is important. I used to rock the 51mm Garmin Fenix 7 and it was pretty awesome 😎 And yes, I watched your video on 4K on my Acer 28-inch monitor.
Thanks for putting this one in 4k!!! 🙌
@@mlegrand No problem at all for I enjoy the 4K resolution. For longer videos I cast it on a 55 inch 4K Vizio TV for even m;ore fun 🤓
OK this is all well and done, but do the older bands interchange with this series 10 watch?
Yes. It’s my understanding that they are staying the same for this year. Next year might be different 🤷🏻♂️
Or I should say that the 45mm bigger bands would work but not the smaller 42mm sized bands.
high production video, very helpful
Thank you! I'm working on a follow up on this after having used both of these (one on each wrist) over the past month. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Will wait for your review of the watch, having a 2nd Gen SE, seeing if it will be a worthy upgrade. BTW, nothing in the event did they mention about the Pulse Ox being integrated into the watch, unless I missed it.
I didn’t hear anything about the blood oxygen saturation sensor either 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
it quite literally does not matter unless youre coming from a 40mm and thinking about getting a 45 or 46. 1mm does not make any tangible difference.

have the ultra 1 but obsessing over the s 10 even dough has less battery. Should I trade my ultra 1 for the series 10?
Good question. I think what you'd find is that it's a significantly slimmer watch when compared to the AWU. 9.7 vs 14.4mm But if your AWU is holding up well you could wait and see what Apple does next year. 🤷♂️
You should, BESTBUY is offering me 330 for my series 9 41mm GPS. So I’m sure ultra 1 should be same or more. Go for it. Will basically be paying $150 out of pocket
Approx what will be the battery difference between 42mm and 46mm , i have ordered 42mm and kinda feel regret that i should have gone for 46mm. Please console me
There shouldn’t be a super significant battery difference. I’ve ordered them both and will do some direct comparisons. I’ll also show them on my tiny wrists and my wife’s wrists for some real world comparisons. It’ll just take me a week or so to make the video.

@@mlegrand Have a nice day 👌🏻
Please stick to meters only. this mixing of weird inches is annoying
Good suggestion. I tend to use inches for screens as that’s the standard here.
Im wondering how the gold and slate color on the s10 watch gonna scratch, if it's strong enough to not scratch that easily? I feel like if they scratch it wont look as good, ima atleest wait for a scratch test video on those titanium watches before i buy one, really like thst gold color on it
I’m really worried about that slate color. 😬 I’ll do an additional review after 100 days and use a macro lens to look for scratches. Might be ugly. 🤦♂️
Battery time matters.
People need to charge this unit every day! So in the 3 weeks my garmin lasts, they need to charge this one more then 20 times!
I"m still ver surprised that battery life isn't a factor on this device in Apple's mind. There's been a few times that where Apple has increased the efficacy of the Apple Watch but not thought that people would love more battery life but instead want the display to refresh more frequently or add some other small feature. It'd be interesting to see what people do if given a choice in a settings menu somewhere. 🤷♂️
@@mlegrand The average end user of an Apple Watch likely charges it next to their phone every night. While I'd like more battery life, a Garmin is designed for a significantly more rugged lifestyle than the AW. A 30 minute dive demolishes the battery on my Ultra 2, but it also eats crazy battery life out of my $2,000 Shearwater Perdix also. Usage dictates actual battery life. Always on display, constantly refreshing notifications and email, etc. eat up more battery.
Great info as always. 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I really wish we would ALL COLLECTIVELY 👉scrutinize👈 Garmin Watch OLED displays the same way, instead of just saying "this is good enough".🙄 Their AOD is garbage, compared to Galaxy Smart Watch from 7 years ago!

Battery Life Matters!
💯 - Now we just need Apple to recognize it's importance 😬
Man i need help deciding cannot make up my mind between venu 3 and 265 for the past week, because the v3 is 350 euros rn and the 265 is 430 and they are practically the same watch its just one doesnt have ecg new sensor mic and speaker and the other has all the training features and readiness if im not mistaken
So what do you want to use it for? Mostly running?
@@mlegrand No i wouldnt say that i workout 6 times a week walk daily cycle time to time and mb wanna get into running eventually
@@mlegrand im a person that overthinks a lot which is unfortunate because i think of every scenario and option and never end up making my mind
@@bhili2510 - The Venu 3 might the way to go then. It’s designed to be a slightly smarter smart watch than the 265. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand Okey that clears up a lot, but the 265 is just a venu 3 pretty much though right with the training features? since i think it has all the health metric and wellness features from the venu3 since updates because, i know i wont be using the speaker nor the mic/ voice assistant
No blood oxygen sensor on the new watches. Definitely feeling less incentivized to upgrade as it means I’ll lose a core health feature.
I know right? I'm looking into this now. It seems like the HR sensor is the same which means that the AWU 2 won't have spO2 but I'm not sure about AWS10. I'm looking into it for my next video. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment Henry! I really appreciate it. 👍
I believe Apple Watch Series 10 still has the sensor but will still be deactivated in the U.S. with a different model number for models sold in United States, just like the Series 9.
@@iansoya9461 - Yes, that is now my understanding as well. I'll talk more about this is an upcoming video. Thank you for posting this!
As a health care provider, I can confirm that the watch Sp02 monitor is not as accurate as a true pulse oximeter. Use the watch as a guide, but don’t get too focused on the watch reading
@@claudiamartin9700100% right. Same goes for sleep apnea. People also asking for blood glucose monitoring really can’t put much faith into the watch. Like you said, these are all meant to be used as guides, almost worthy of a “for entertainment use only” asterisk.

I came upon your really informative conversation by googling-“what size, 42 mm or 46 mm should women wear.” All I see are pictures of men working out. Dont women wear Iwatches? I have small wrists. Will the 46mm be too big? I wish tech bro information would include women. I guess by definition, it doesnt..LOL!😅
Hi Paula, I wish there were more women making smart watch content here on TH-cam. I don't see a ton currently.

show me the one sane person who would listen music or whatever from their 18 hour battery lasting watches?!?🤣🤣
p.s. also sleep apnea is fully software feature and s9 will have it but previous models wont,because?! because why....apple thought
And music kills battery life. But I’m guessing the sleep apnea needs the S9 chip for its machine learning capabilities. The S9 and S10 chips seem like the same chip from what I can tell.

You keep looking off to the left. Very distracting.
What do you think is over to my left Bob? 😂
I couldn't care less about how thin the device is. Overall, with the exception of the Apnea detection, irrelevant changes. Very disappointing. The same lame and unreasonably 18 hours of battery life or even the 36 hours of the Ultra 2 can't compete with Gamin AMOLED watches (Forerunner 965, Epix 1, 2, Fenix E, Fenix 8) and especially with the MIP watches (forerunner 955, Fenix 7, Fenix 7 pro, Enduro 2, 3, Fenix 8 Solar); again Apple Watch lacks relevant physiological parameters for athletes, lacks topological maps, useful navigation, even the flashlight... but the same battery is a shame. Apple want us to keep petting the AW as a Tamagotchi... but its 2024 !!!
The battery life was very surprising to me. I heard more efficient and thought right away that they'd put that towards Apple Watch. They seem to really believe that people are ok with charging their watch every day. 🤦♂️ Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I myself own a gamin 51mm epix. Pretty sweet 11 days battery always on display.
I care very much about the depth and weight, I know many do. I absolutely hate a bulky and heavy watch, I can't stand them. I charge my phone at night and do the same for my watch so I couldn't care less about the battery as long as it lasts throughout the day.
@@josuegonzalez3660 in 2-3 years your AW battery will drop below 80% and you will start caring.

Ugg, I wish I was trying to be cute by say "steal" when referring to the $700 titanium versions of this watch but sadly it was just a mistake on my part. 🤦♂️
I may be in the minority but I find the Apple Watch incredibly ugly so the bigger it gets the uglier it seems to me 😂😂😂
