Apple Watch Series 10 From $299

Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm)

Originally priced at $399, the 42mm model is now available for $299, a 25% savings. The 46mm model, which was $429, is now $329, offering a 23% discount. The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not expected until September. Key improvements over the Series 9 include 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 already using an Apple Watch Series 9, the upgrade might not be compelling enough. However, for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the best choice among Apple Watches.

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 and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the Apple Watch SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the Series 10's enhancements justify the extra cost for most users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

Although it's technically feasible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we strongly advise against it. Apple designed the watch to work optimally with iOS, meaning many of its features require an iPhone. While there are workarounds to access some functionalities, the effort involved is generally not worth it for most users. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider purchasing an iPhone first. For those content with their Android smartphones, there are numerous Android-compatible smartwatches that would be a better match.
