  • Design: Measuring just 9.7 millimeters thick, the Series 10 is 10 percent thinner than last year’s Series 9. It comes in three finishes: natural, gold, dark slate gray, and there is also a titanium version.
  • Water Resistance: Like previous models, the Series 10 is water resistant to 50 meters.
  • Charging: With a larger charging coil, the Series 10 can charge up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes, allowing for quicker use between charges.

In addition to the enhanced hardware, Apple has introduced several new features:

  • Polished Aluminum Finish: The Series 10 features a polished aluminum finish and a new metal back, which integrates the antennas for improved connectivity.
  • Health & Fitness: Building on Apple’s health-focused ecosystem, the Series 10 retains heart rate monitoring, ECG, and blood oxygen tracking, while improving performance on health apps.
