The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model from Apple, with the Series 11 not expected until September. It boasts several upgrades over the Series 9, including a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's thinner for a slimmer watch profile, a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and minor enhancements like a water depth gauge. If you're upgrading from the Series 9, the changes might not be compelling enough, but for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the best choice for most people.

When compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a larger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a bigger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, advanced fitness tracking and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the Series 10's enhancements make it a worthwhile investment for most users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?
