Apple Watch Series X - Should You Upgrade (Made Easy)

**The Ultimate Guide to Apple Watch Series 10**

If you're thinking about upgrading to this year's series 10, we've got you covered. With its new features and improvements, it's definitely worth considering. If you stick an ultra on your wrist then that's really something to consider.

One of the standout features of the series 10 is its improved display size. The series 10 has a larger display than older models offering easier navigation and readability. It's technically larger than the Ultra 2 despite the Ultra 2's physical size. The brightness of the series 10 matches the series 9, doubling the SE's brightness and it's better in outdoor bright conditions.

Another notable feature is its water resistance, remaining water resistant up to 50m. However, it's not as rugged as the Ultra 2. When it comes to ECG blood oxygen and temperature sensors, those are all on everything except for the SE. The series 10 and Ultra 2 have the latest updates, including quick charging that takes up to 15 minutes faster to 80% than the series 9.

The processor has been upgraded with the new S10, which offers faster performance compared to older models. You'll notice a difference in performance just moving around between apps and notifications interacting with the watch sometimes. If you want my actual hands-on experience, I recommend getting subscribed to my channel for future reviews.

One feature that's particularly useful is the Precision finding with the Ultra wideband chip on the series 10 and Ultra 2. This does make it better for lost devices and it's something that might be a deciding factor for you if you're someone who frequently misplaces their items.

Speaking of features, there are some new watch faces available in the store with hundreds of different wallpapers to choose from. If you get the mega pack for $5, which is usually $54 for only a handful of files, it's an incredible deal. Additionally, there's a smart stack feature that can integrate those new watch faces instead of using just a generic digital or analog dial.

Another feature that might be useful is the ability to stream music or podcasts directly through your watch's speakers. This was previously only possible with taking a phone call on your wrist, but now you can also listen to media without needing to bring your AirPods along.

If you're always on the go and don't want to carry your iPhone with you, cellular is a useful option. However, if you always have your phone with you, then GPS only will definitely suffice.

**Technical Specifications**

The series 10 has a new thinner design compared to previous models, which could improve comfort in terms of weight. The titanium model is noticeably lighter than the earlier stainless steel versions, which might be more comfortable for some users. When it comes to size, the display is larger and easier to navigate.

One thing to note is that there are patent disputes happening right now, so if you rely on the blood oxygen sensor and already have a watch that had that feature baked in, you may not want to upgrade. The series 10 and Ultra 2 offer this feature for sleep apnea detection, which could be valuable for some users.

Overall, the series 10 is a significant upgrade from previous models, offering improved performance, features, and design. If you're thinking about upgrading, it's definitely worth considering.

give it a side eye or glance at it and in those instances a little bit brighter screen could be nice probably not the kind of thing that you spend your time thinking about but if you often check your watch in bright environments or at Angles this might make an interesting difference everybody's talking about the new jet black finish which is series 10 introduces or reintroduces I should say it used to be on the iPhone I guess the only question to ask yourself here is do you subjectively prefer this might be kind of nice to have something a little different than what you've seen floating around on other wrists this is purely aesthetic though so if you're looking for style upgrades you might find this appealing otherwise functionally it's no different but the series 10 does come in a new titanium offering which is 20% lighter than the stainless steel the titanium is more durable than the stainless steel but it does come at a higher price ask yourself how much it matters to you to

but what might be is the fact that you can now stream music or podcasts or audio books directly through your watch's speakers in the past if you were in a pinch you could take a phone call on your
