I disagree and think that the comparison (leaving series 8 and 9 completely out) was useless and took over the Apple advertisement strategy to compare their new products to those from many years ago instead of the most recent ones. They do this on purpose because the differences over the last years have been super minor. But to see this strategy also from a TH-camr is shocking.
+1 I'm on the series 7 40mm wifi aluminum, it needs battery service or upgrading. still very on the fence about upgrading. series 10 looks p much the same but a little fatter
I still have the Series 2. Most people don’t upgrade phones or watches every year now with the micro changes. I will upgrade soon to a Series 8 or 9 probably. Not getting the 10.
My biggest disappointment was the discrepancy between Ultra and Series. I really want the Sleep Apnea feature. It's the number one most interesting feature for me personally in ages. But I already have the Ultra 1, which for whatever reason, won't get the Sleep Apnea feature. Getting the Series 10 is a massive downgrade when it comes to battery life, and getting the Ultra 2 at this point knowing it does not feature the improved neural engine, when Apple is all about Apple Intelligence and neural engine moving forward, feels awkward. I've ordered the Series 10 in Titanium; I'm going to give it a good spin. But I'm 90% certain the battery is going to get annoying really fast after getting accustomed to the battery life of my Ultra 1. Getting the Ultra 2 is just out-of-the-question as it didn't get the S10 SiP like the Series 10.
Of all the videos, this one has been the best so far, IMO. Showcasing the size difference in comparison. Great job. Also, I appreciate the down to earth realness of your videos.
I’m in the group of moving from an Ultra to a 46mm Series 10. Originally picked the Ultra 2yrs ago for screen size and partly battery life but have never liked the chunky design and with the Series 10 faster charging, that helps with the lower battery life.
@@emilsecker7881makes sense to me, they get the same screen size as an ultra but thinner design. And the fast charge helps alleviate the lower battery life. I’m upgrading from a series 5 to 10 so I’m excited
Ive done exactly the same, changed my ultra for the 10. Loving it so far, currently missing the action button though, but thats the only thing and i much prefer this size .
Yes it comes down to battery life. Considering going from Ultra 1 with 91% battery health (been wearing everyday since release) to 10. Would imagine the 10 would be close to the ultra 1 with poor battery health.
@@anthonynusbaum56 91% isn't poor by any means. Ultra 1 with 91% battery health should still be far superior compared to Series 10 at 100% battery health. We don't know the battery capacity of the Series 10 just yet, but judging by how Series 9 (45mm) had 308 mAh, and the Series 10 is even thinner, its most likely not getting any bigger. The battery capacity of Ultra 1 is 542 mAh. Thats almost twice the capacity. Your Ultra 1 battery health needs to drop closer to 60-70% before its start resembling the Series 10. Of course, it's not as simple as comparing battery capacity directly. The S10 SiP is more power efficient compared to the S8 SiP in the Ultra 1 etc. But still.
I’m upgrading from series 7 the 41mm to the series 10 in the 42mm. I’d really like to see a real life screen size comparison between the new 42mm size watches and the previous 45mm display. Not everyone has large wrists but I’ll see how it goes the Jet Black looks slick.
How do you have only 297K subscribers with such a thorough review? I have an S7 & you touched on everything I wanted to know about this S10. Great job & thank you.
Considering upgrading from Series 4 stainless steel. I really expected much more from Series 10. It’s such a bummer that you can’t even do the blood oxygen sensor readings with it. They also need to implement the always on second hand to all watch faces
I have to say that this ‘review’ is 100% more informative than everyone else’s that I have watched. Where theirs are basically ads for Apple this review contains actual useful things to use in deciding whether or not to upgrade. Thanks !!
Still on Series 4, had it since launch and gets me through a day with 35% left. Still got 89% capacity left... and my launch day 14 Plus has just dropped to 99% capacity.
Never had an Apple Watch but always had the newest iPhone. Just ordered the Series 10 46mm In Jet Black. I’m just hoping it’s not too big for my small wrist but I have big fingers but small wrists so I opted for the bigger screen option. Plus the health features are really good. But how accurate are they?
I used to upgrade every year since the first Apple Watch until I got the Ultra 1. I skipped the Ultra 2 and just like you said - I want a smaller watch, so I’m getting the 10 in Titanium.
As a fellow series 7 user, I’m so ready to upgrade to this series 10. My biggest asks were a larger display and the ability to play media through the speakers.
aw6 here, not upgrading until blood oxygen is back. I like to see saturation when I sleep at higher altitudes. tracking increase as I adjust... It's really one of the most important sensors
Great video, Brian. I'm upgrading from a Series 4 and have ordered the 10 46mm aluminium. It should arrive on Friday. The 4 is still working okay, though it doesn't hold a charge like it used to. I've heard the watchOS 11 update won't include the Series 4, which would leave the 4 vulnerable security-wise. Looking forward to Friday!
The thing is though, Apple will update older devices if they do find some sort of security flaw. I remember they’ve updated older iPhones like the iPhone 5 way after its support was dropped because of a security issue
So I have an Ultra 2 and I have preordered the Series 10 as a second watch BECAUSE it's so thin/light. Perfect for work/daily activities. I always love your bright kitchen Brian! Great work as always!
I am upgrading from S5. Fast charging, 1 sec refresh, sleep apnea and other things is a big deal to me Question: does the 1sec refresh work on complications as well,.. for example using the Timer app? Thanks
I went from series 4 to 7 and noticed the screen scratched too easily. Late last year I swapped for an ultra 2. Going multiple days on a charge is pretty nice. The GPS accuracy is noticeable. I also don't worry about the watch getting dinged when inadvertently hitting things with my wrist. Very happy with titanium.
I also have a Series 7. I’m the consumer who upgrades when my current device is pretty much obsolete. I will get a new Apple Watch when the Series 7 isn’t getting os updates any longer which is probably in a couple of years. That said I did upgrade from a IPhone 8 to an iPhone 16. And may even upgrade from AirPods 2 to AirPods 4 this Christmas.
I’ve a series 7 and cancelled my Ultra 2 order as I couldn’t justify the price. Was thinking of just getting the series 10 at nearly half the cost. But not really seeing a huge advantage to upgrading from the series 7. Especially as my series 7 battery really hasn’t changed much and the series 10 isn’t adding much more battery life. Thank you for this comparison!
I really like the new shape of the Series 10. Yea I know, it's subtle to most, but it's completely obvious to me. It's wider, less rectangular, and more circular now with even bigger corner radius'. it genuinely has more of a circular watch vibe to me now. People might call it a minor design tweak, but honestly this is the biggest change to the shape and geometry of the Apple Watch in its history IMO. Tied with Series 4.
I also have the Series 7 and will be upgrading it this time around. I just really wish Apple would redesign the watch face. I just really dislike the look of it. I really love the round watch face design like the Samsung Galaxy watch. It just looks like a proper watch.
I’m buying into the Apple Watch outright so I’m excited. I waited out smartwatches a few years. Got my mother one two years back and she finally convinced me to get into it. Will be receiving my 10 in a few days. Let’s hope it’s good.
I liked the review, the only thing that was missing for me was you didn’t talk about the new black color and how well the shiny finish held up, did it get any scratches, etc.
The LTPO Always-On finally moving up from 1 frame per minute to 1 frame per second is the upgrade from my Series 5 I've been waiting for. Might pick me up a Series 10 in late 2025 when I replace my iPhone XR with an iPhone 14 Plus
I have series 4 (the smaller watch, so is that a 38?) and am thinking of upgrading to the series 10. I’m wondering if I should stick to the 42mm for this. How much better is the new 10 to my older 4? Is the screen any better/bigger? I was even thinking of the 46mm but the store by me doesn’t carry these; they did have the ultra 2 but that is massive for me.
Thanks for such a helpful video, Brian! Much appreciated! I have an AW6 and want to upgrade. However, I’m one of those people that use the blood oxygen feature daily. It’s nice to know that the hardware is in the AW10. Thanks for sharing this piece of information and for all the great content. 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m going to be honest and say that you should’ve used pictures or apps that light the entire screens up. You keep using black backgrounded apps, doesn’t show the screen sizes very well
While I was hoping for a much bigger upgrade, I’m trading in my Ultra 1 just because of the sleekness and thinness of the Series 10. I loved the battery life of the Ultra 1 but its bulkiness never justified my simple lifestyle.
I find is strange for Apple to proclaim this is as a huge design upgrade. Overselling it way too much. It's a nice change and improvement, but this is still the exact same design as always, with slight iteration and some fat removed. Why pretend like it's something that it's clearly not?
I'm one of the Ultra owners who is switching to the Series 10. It's basically now an Ultra watch but thinner and with a smaller but faster charging battery.
Yeah I’m upgrading from the series 5. From my watch it’s a bug upgrade, but after this probably won’t upgrade for another 5 years. I’m going to post a review on my channel when it releases to the public this weekend 🙂
@@vahagy6579 You don't get "both" in terms of Sleep Apnea tracking, doesn't matter if your watch has blood oxygen tracking, it won't be used for sleep apnea tracking, which is really annoying. It's so annoying how my Ultra 1 with Blood Oxygen and accelerometer can't do sleep apnea tracking, while Ultra 2 without Blood Oxygen tracking can. I don't belive for one second that the change from S8 SiP to S9 SiP is that important for this to work. And there is no doubt blood oxygen would be a beneficial metric to use for sleep apnea tracking. For Apple to simply avoid using it as their newest models ship without blood oxygen monitoring due to a patent dispute is a spit in the face to existing customers.
Hi, can u tell me the actual screen & band sz? I always buy different bands & rubber covers, so can give me the sz, i order colors gold watch to match my new 16 pro max phone. Thk u so much, God bless
Great review and wow, I'm torn... I'm ready to upgrade from my Series 4 this fall and was going to go Ultra as I love the look, brightness and battery life. But since it didn't receive an update and the Series 10 is the latest and greatest with fast charge I'm stuck what to do. I wear the watch for sleep tracking too...is the Ultra that bad for sleep?
I had a Series 6 stainless with a dying battery… decided to not upgrade and to just get a replacement battery through Apple. Got a new watch band changed the watch face. Feels like a new watch again. Glad i have a spare $1000 in my pocket too!
This review is amazing, i bought the seri 7 last year as there isnt any appearance changes on seri 8 and 9. Apple watch doesnt change much but every 3-4 years, i will get this seri 10 for sure when i update
I said this in the review. It's INSIDE, but until they have resolved the patent issue the O2 App is not available in the U.S. it's available in Series 10 in other countries
@@briantongthanks I know him said it in the review. I just didn’t realize that Apple had confirmed to anyone that the sensor is indeed in the US model.
Solid Review!!! Loved the size comparison, the audio test, as well as the podcast listening demo. Also agree with your take on switching from an Ultra to a series 10.
I own a 6, and I am still not really considering an upgrade. Yes, the screen is comparably bigger on the 10, but only after years of iteration, and the experience is still fairly the same. Battery life is just fine too. I was really hoping for some better battery life.
It was very helpful the way you showed the evolution of watch face sizes. I'm on a S7 so the only reason for me to upgrade would be for a fresher battery or for the shiny black finish, or the faster charging.
What you said about Ultra 1 owners switching to the new Series 10 is spot on. It's a better watch in every way, minus the battery. However, with the battery charging to 80% in 30 minutes, that's good enough for me.
I decided it was time to upgrade from my Series 4. I seriously looked at the Ultra 2, but at the end of the day the form factor of the Series 10 swayed me there. Landed on the Slate Titanium 46mm with the Milanese loop. Looking forward to getting it on the 20th.
When you think about it, what are you really wanting them to add or change about the Ultra? That watch is meant to be a bit bulkier. The only thing they can do is make the battery longer, but no one is really complaining about that. Faster chip? Who’s saying it’s slow?
@@Aggie4life77it needs to be thinner. And they could easily shave it down while keeping the same great battery life. It’s one reason I’m switching from Ultra 1 to Series 10. The whole point of an Apple Watch is meant to make it feel like you’re not wearing a watch at all.
@@indyjones720it’s a watch that’s built for an active lifestyle where longer battery life is needed. For the less active, the other Apple Watches are ideal.
@@Aggie4life77 Add the S10 SiP with its improved neural engine. Feels very awkward as an Ultra 1 owner who really wants Sleep Apnea tracking. Moving from Ultra 1 to Ultra 2 feels awkward knowing the Series 10 has a better SiP specially aimed at Apple Intelligence. Ultra 2 didn't bring anything fancy over Ultra 1 to begin with and is already 1 year old so I'm not going to get an Ultra 2 at this point. And moving to Series 10 gives half the battery life, so that's not all that attractive either. Having Ultra and Series misaligned like this feels strange to me.
Thank you for such a great video! I didn't notice that Series 10 has way rounded shape than 9! I think it's beautiful. I just bought Series 9 last year, so this time isn't gonna be my upgrade but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are upgrading this year! Watchkanda forever! 😂
I’m updating from Apple Watch Series 4! So I’m excited.
Me too!!!
@@jimtipton8888 - it’s funny how much bigger the screen is compared to the series 4
I have the S4 too but I'm not updating this year
Me too. I cannot wait for mine to be delivered as well.
I have the series 4 44mm. Are you getting the 42mm or 46mm? Seems even the 42mm series 10 screen is a hair bigger than the 44mm series 4 screen size.
Thanks for doing the size comparisons! So many reviewers skipped it but as a Series 7 owner it was critical to me

Great job! If you don’t have an Apple Watch, would you get the 10 for screen and faster charging, or buy the 9 for some small savings in cost?
In my opinion, Get the 10 for future updates, newer little bit disegn . unless you found a very very goood discount like a 2nd hand use of series 9

I find is strange for Apple to proclaim this is as a huge design upgrade. Overselling it way too much. It's a nice change and improvement, but this is still the exact same design as always, with slight iteration and some fat removed. Why pretend like it's something that it's clearly not?
My 7 has screen scratched and a small crack so I thinking about getting titanium one next time
I'm one of the Ultra owners who is switching to the Series 10. It's basically now an Ultra watch but thinner and with a smaller but faster charging battery.
Yeah I’m upgrading from the series 5. From my watch it’s a bug upgrade, but after this probably won’t upgrade for another 5 years. I’m going to post a review on my channel when it releases to the public this weekend 🙂
This is gonna be a GAME CHANGER for you!
@@briantong oh I already know, this with the 16pro in black titanium.. so EXCITED 😁
Had the Apple Watch SE 1st gen so I’m happy my husband is buying me the 10 for crimbo!
Apple Watch 10 - The Utenstil Test = Pass! :D Loved it!
What a Shame that Apple watches Series 6-7-8 have Blood Oxygen Monitor and in the 9-10 and Ultra series NO... Why?
accelerometer for sleep apnea without blood oxygen level, stop it Apple please. Good review BT keep it different
Already approved by the FDA. www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpcd/classification.cfm?id=213
That’s why I’m getting a used series 9 with the blood oxygen sensor so I have both 😁
Buy it in Canada
@@marshallsokoloff I’ll probably visit Canada again this year 😁
@@vahagy6579 You don't get "both" in terms of Sleep Apnea tracking, doesn't matter if your watch has blood oxygen tracking, it won't be used for sleep apnea tracking, which is really annoying. It's so annoying how my Ultra 1 with Blood Oxygen and accelerometer can't do sleep apnea tracking, while Ultra 2 without Blood Oxygen tracking can. I don't belive for one second that the change from S8 SiP to S9 SiP is that important for this to work.
And there is no doubt blood oxygen would be a beneficial metric to use for sleep apnea tracking. For Apple to simply avoid using it as their newest models ship without blood oxygen monitoring due to a patent dispute is a spit in the face to existing customers.
Traded in the Ultra 1 for the 10. Health features dud the trick. Thanks for the great review 🎉
Hi, can u tell me the actual screen & band sz? I always buy different bands & rubber covers, so can give me the sz, i order colors gold watch to match my new 16 pro max phone. Thk u so much, God bless
@@1_BadAnd2_Bougie4Ya I just bought the standard 49 mm large watch with the standard black band
Great review and wow, I'm torn... I'm ready to upgrade from my Series 4 this fall and was going to go Ultra as I love the look, brightness and battery life. But since it didn't receive an update and the Series 10 is the latest and greatest with fast charge I'm stuck what to do. I wear the watch for sleep tracking too...is the Ultra that bad for sleep?
So about that jet black…is it a fingerprint magnet?? And does it scratch easily?
Noise cancellation on that demo was cool
This was major for me. I have a Series 7 and needed some comparison. Great video.
The fact that this is thinner finally made me ditch my first gen SE, the only improvement really needed.
I’m assuming you’re wearing the 46mm throughout the video? What is your wrist size? It actually looks like it fits nicely on the wrist.
Yup, I wore the 46mm the entire time. I have a pretty normal to smaller wrist size. I think I'm like a Size 5 for the Solo Loop which is smaller...👀😂
Series 6 owner here looking to go to a 10! Thank you 😊
I had a Series 6 stainless with a dying battery… decided to not upgrade and to just get a replacement battery through Apple. Got a new watch band changed the watch face. Feels like a new watch again. Glad i have a spare $1000 in my pocket too!
Lmao that thumbnail…classic.
Which one did you get...I'm testing a few :)
I have the series 7 as well, I’m updating. I just want to see the difference between ultra 2
I’m still using my series 6 and it’s still going well!
This review is amazing, i bought the seri 7 last year as there isnt any appearance changes on seri 8 and 9. Apple watch doesnt change much but every 3-4 years, i will get this seri 10 for sure when i update
Wait…do we have confirmation that the O2 sensor is in the US model of the Series10? That’s the only reason I haven’t preordered.
I said this in the review. It's INSIDE, but until they have resolved the patent issue the O2 App is not available in the U.S. it's available in Series 10 in other countries
@@briantongthanks I know him said it in the review. I just didn’t realize that Apple had confirmed to anyone that the sensor is indeed in the US model.
@@briantongThanks. I know you said it in the review. I just didn’t realize Apple had confirmed with anyone that the sensor is indeed in the US model.
Solid Review!!! Loved the size comparison, the audio test, as well as the podcast listening demo. Also agree with your take on switching from an Ultra to a series 10.
Upgrading from my series 2!!!!!! Cant wait
i laughed so hard @1:57
I am upgrading my series 0. It's time.
I own a 6, and I am still not really considering an upgrade. Yes, the screen is comparably bigger on the 10, but only after years of iteration, and the experience is still fairly the same. Battery life is just fine too. I was really hoping for some better battery life.
This is my first Apple Watch and I’ve just come back from Dubai and it was amazing and swimming was so cool.
It was very helpful the way you showed the evolution of watch face sizes. I'm on a S7 so the only reason for me to upgrade would be for a fresher battery or for the shiny black finish, or the faster charging.
Thinking of upgrading from the series 6 due to battery life to the jet black series 10
WOAH the Jet Black Series 10 at 5:27 it's already scratching like crazy!
I’m upgrading from a series 2! Can’t believe I held on for so long!! Just wish I got the oxygen sensor with the series 10…
What you said about Ultra 1 owners switching to the new Series 10 is spot on. It's a better watch in every way, minus the battery. However, with the battery charging to 80% in 30 minutes, that's good enough for me.
I have the first Ultra Apple watch. I do like the black version of the Ultra 2. Still undecided😩
would you upgrade from
iwatch 8 to 10????
My eye site isn’t great but I’ve always got the smaller watch because I didn’t like the weight. Maybe now I can get the bigger watch
I decided it was time to upgrade from my Series 4. I seriously looked at the Ultra 2, but at the end of the day the form factor of the Series 10 swayed me there. Landed on the Slate Titanium 46mm with the Milanese loop. Looking forward to getting it on the 20th.
Thanks for the review… perfect review for me because I’m on a series 7 and keep talking myself out of getting the 10 🥴
In the comparison with all the other watches, is the S10 Natural Titanium?
Wanted new ultra watch but I’ll just wait another year
When you think about it, what are you really wanting them to add or change about the Ultra? That watch is meant to be a bit bulkier. The only thing they can do is make the battery longer, but no one is really complaining about that. Faster chip? Who’s saying it’s slow?
@@Aggie4life77it needs to be thinner. And they could easily shave it down while keeping the same great battery life. It’s one reason I’m switching from Ultra 1 to Series 10. The whole point of an Apple Watch is meant to make it feel like you’re not wearing a watch at all.
@@indyjones720it’s a watch that’s built for an active lifestyle where longer battery life is needed. For the less active, the other Apple Watches are ideal.
@@Aggie4life77 Add the S10 SiP with its improved neural engine. Feels very awkward as an Ultra 1 owner who really wants Sleep Apnea tracking. Moving from Ultra 1 to Ultra 2 feels awkward knowing the Series 10 has a better SiP specially aimed at Apple Intelligence. Ultra 2 didn't bring anything fancy over Ultra 1 to begin with and is already 1 year old so I'm not going to get an Ultra 2 at this point. And moving to Series 10 gives half the battery life, so that's not all that attractive either.
Having Ultra and Series misaligned like this feels strange to me.
@@Aggie4life77 More battery life would be great. Would like to take it on a trip and not have to worry about charging.
Thank you for such a great video! I didn't notice that Series 10 has way rounded shape than 9! I think it's beautiful. I just bought Series 9 last year, so this time isn't gonna be my upgrade but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are upgrading this year! Watchkanda forever! 😂
The only problem is that now the Series 10 is thinner, my size nine straps are too loose.
