Apple Watch Series 10: Bigger Screens, Improved Water Resistance, and Enhanced Health Features
Apple is set to unveil its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, at the “It’s Glowtime” event on September 9. The new watch is expected to feature bigger display sizes, an updated heart rate sensor, and improved water resistance. According to reports, the Apple Watch Series 10 will be available in 44mm and 48mm size options, a significant upgrade from the current 41mm and 45mm variants.
One of the key features of the Apple Watch Series 10 is its updated heart rate sensor, which is expected to provide more accurate results and unlock new features. The sensor may also support sleep apnea detection, a feature that was previously leaked. Additionally, the new report suggests that the process of health data collection may see an update, with new algorithms in the iPhone Health app reading data collected by the heart rate sensor to help detect atrial fibrillation.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is also expected to feature improved water resistance, with a rating of up to 20 meters deep. This is a significant upgrade from the current Apple Watch Series 9, which has a water resistance rating of 50 meters but is not suitable for water sports or adventures like scuba diving. The Apple Watch Ultra, on the other hand, has up to 100 meters of water resistance and is suited for high-speed water sports up to 40 meters deep.
The new watch is also tipped to get support for Apple’s Depth app, which is currently exclusive to the Watch Ultra. This app allows users to track their swimming and diving activities, and the Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to offer similar features.
In addition to its improved health and water resistance features, the Apple Watch Series 10 is also expected to feature new watch faces. One of the new watch faces is expected to be “Reflections,” a watch face that reacts to ambient light, while another will likely be a new Hermès watch face called “Regatta.” The latter was reportedly inspired by the sailing sports competition of the same name and may allow users to access a timer directly.
Overall, the Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering improved health features, better water resistance, and new watch faces. With its bigger screens and enhanced features, the new watch is likely to be a popular choice among Apple fans and smartwatch enthusiasts alike.
