Apple Watch Series 10 From $299

Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm)

• $399.00 save 25% - $299.00 at Amazon
• $429.00 save 23% - $329.00 at 46mm Model

The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not expected until September. This model features enhancements over the Series 9, including a larger OLED Retina display, the new S10 processor (which is thinner, allowing for a sleeker watch profile), a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and minor additions like a water depth gauge. If you're upgrading from the Series 9, the improvements might not justify the cost. However, for first-time Apple Watch buyers, the Series 10 is the best option for most people.

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

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

Although it's technically possible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, it's not recommended. Apple has designed the watch to work best with iOS, and many features require an iPhone. While there are workarounds, they can be cumbersome. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider switching to an iPhone. For Android users, there are plenty of excellent smartwatches designed specifically for your device.
