@@Kyliesfavoriteisfdc I just tried a 10 at the 🍎store today, the silicone loops are better than ever, it's so nice, you'll love it. Please tell us about it after. I got a Series 9 but feel stuck in upgrading because I don't want to give up the Blood O2 readings that are now illegal/restricted in USA.
Upgraded from a 3 today and glad I can still use both. I'll use my 3 during yard work and time in the warehouses I visit for product I buy. So far super happy with the 10. Your review was exceptional and you're very fit! Keep up the good work!!
I haven’t had an Apple Watch since the first one. Looking to get one and it’s between this and the ultra 2. I’m leaning towards this one. What do you think?
@@sheps31 Yeah I think I’m going to go with the AW2. I actually love the “ticking” second hand look on smartwatches and I don’t think the ultra can do that 😅
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.
I am looking forward to buy Apple Watch for the first time. Which one should I buy series 9 or 10. I am not into snorkeling so depth sensor wont be useful for me anyway. I am getting huge discounts on series 9. Kindly advise!!
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
great review. Upgraded from AW4 to AW10 46mm today. The only reason for the upragde was the screen size, AW4 is still going strong....still love my series4!
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?
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.
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
The blood oxygen situation is such a major loss. I never use the app to poll it on demand, but the constant measurements discovered patterns of hypoxemia I like to continue monitoring.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Went to the apple store to pick up my every 3 year new phone, and talked to the employee assigned to me about it. She said the 02 sensor is why she didn't upgrade and a lot of people were cancelling on pick up day for the same reason. I went ahead and cancelled my preorder also while in store. That sensor is important to everyone it seems.
Terrible mistake you made. I had to return the ultra 2 black. It was horrifically bad. I’ve had dozens of watches and it was by far the worst watch I’ve ever owned. The old series 6 was better. I know mostly is a Garmin Fenix 9 and an Apple Series 10
I have series 5 and in the pool I can’t really do anything with it once it’s wet. I start it when I’m dry, but I can’t turn it off, or change screens until it and I are dry. Has this improved?
Hi Des, what would you say the battery life would roughly be in the following scenario: AOD off GPS paired through phone HR through external HR Would be curious to see if it could be stretched to 10hrs Thanks !
I am looking at getting my first ever Apple watch I am trying to decide between the series 9 or the series 10 or the black ultra 2 I am 59 years old and not a real tech jockey lol what i want it for is day to day watch the health benefits and to use it on the golf course for distances and to keep track of my steps etc which do you think would suit me or be my best choice between these 3 watches ? thx a bunch awesome review by they way cheers from Vulcan Canada
Thanks for the review. I am for interested about the fast charging option and how the new Apple Watch Series 10 jet black is really withstanding with scratches, fingerprints and moreover battery life. If you could do any follow up review.

Hi, curios on how you export the heart rate data for your graphs? Running a research project on these watches so im trying different methods for export. Very informative review btw!
so does this watch come installed with the O2 sensor and is just disabled due to the existing lawsuit or it's not installed and this watch will never have the O2 capabilities?

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.
Great review. I was on the fence between Series 10 41mm and Ultra 2 Black... I went ahead and ordered the Ultra 2 black. Great channel. I appreciate the emphasis on health/fitness.
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!
I’ve not got any smart watch and wanna know if I should get a 10 or ultra 2. I jog and lift weights but don’t do hiking or anything adventurous so I thought something like a garmin would be overkill. Please any suggestions guys
my suggestion is to try them on in the apple store. ultra 2 is very bulky for some, especially if you have small wrists. series 10 would be lighter while running. however, ultra 2 has way better battery life. up to you. ultra is heavier but good battery life and durability (also more expensive) or series 10 lighter, cheaper, and faster charging
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
carry a HomePod dangling from a chain around your neck, hooked up to an Anker Charger in your pocket, then you can AirPlay from Apple Watch to it in public. You think I'm joking but that's because you haven't tried it.
Once you find out you have it or not, then it's not useful. But yeah. Ultra 1 can do Sleep Apnea too. So what are you talking about? Just upgrade to watchOS 11 and you're good.
I feel like most of new software features can be made through watch (and all other apple devices)updates. I would rather see new watch series 2-3 years with major changes throughout than annual mediocre. This also helps lessen the environmental waste- if they truly care at all!
As someone that also lives in Colorado, i'm looking for that deep depth comparison between the Series 10 and Ultra 2 black. I currently have a Series 6 and was seriously debating on those two or waiting til next year to see if they have a possibly thinner Ultra 3 model. I bike once in a blue moon, occasionally hike, and regularly hit the gym.

Definitely waiting for the scratch / fingerprint reviews lol. Nobody seems to be talking about it
Just get Apple care coverage. Replace it if it ever gets that bad
There hasn't been any improvements in screens. Why don't you watch a series 9 scratch test. It wouldn't make a difference.
How often are you smacking your wrist into things? Phones are very different than watches when it comes to getting scratched up.

I’m on series 3. Gonna finally upgrade too.
Which watch band is that? Is it just the normal nylon sport band?

Decided to go for the Garmin fenix 8 but this look good
What size you are wearing ? I have 18CM wrist - and bought 46mm.

Go with series 10 aluminium cellular, 46 mm.
Would you get it instead of Fenix 8?
2 completely different watches! Only you can answer depending on features you need.
Shall i take this band it the black loop classic one?
Does it strach like iPhone 7 ?
Great vid! Would love to see how accurate it is for tracking laps in a pool and how it compares to AW 9.
watch 10 is with ink-color strap?
Thinner is nice but instead of shrinking it, increasing the battery life would be better and is needed.
