Rita's Full Review
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the definitive smartwatch for iPhone users in 2025–2026, earning top rankings from Tom's Guide, PCMag, and Wareable. The thinnest and largest Apple Watch ever produced, the Series 10 introduces a Wide-angle LTPO OLED display that remains always-on at near-full brightness — a major visual upgrade. The series-first depth gauge and water temperature sensor open up new capabilities for swimmers and divers, while the FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection (using the existing accelerometer) is a potentially life-changing health feature for the roughly 20% of people with undiagnosed sleep apnea. Charging speed has been dramatically improved to 80% in 30 minutes, making overnight charging optional. The primary limitation for non-Apple users is complete iPhone exclusivity; Android users have no path to Apple Watch ownership. For the 1 billion+ iPhone users, however, the Series 10 remains the most seamlessly integrated and feature-rich smartwatch available.
What Rita liked
- Thinnest, lightest Apple Watch ever — most comfortable for all-day wear including sleep tracking
- FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection is a potentially life-changing health feature for undiagnosed sufferers
- 80% charge in 30 minutes — dramatically reduces dependency on overnight charging
- Widest always-on LTPO OLED display Apple has shipped — noticeably more readable outdoors
What could be better
- Requires iPhone — completely incompatible with Android
- Expensive at $399 for the base model; no significant sensor upgrade from Series 9
- Limited battery to ~18 hours in standard use (36 hours low-power mode)
