The Apple Watch Series 10 is Apple\u2019s thinnest wearable and comes with a new wide-angle OLED screen, which is the largest display Apple has used in a smartwatch to date. The new wearable runs on Apple\u2019s S10 SiP (System in Package) and features a number of new capabilities, including alerts for sleep apnea<\/a>, a condition in which people stop breathing while they sleep. The Apple Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will also be able to play music and podcasts using the watch\u2019s built-in speakers, as opposed to just using it as a\u00a0speakerphone for calls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In her very brief time with the wearables, my colleague Victoria Song remarked on how<\/a> much of a difference the Series 10\u2019s larger display makes. She also praised the new black colorway for the Series 10 and Ultra 2, though, admittedly, the clasp on the latter\u2019s new Milanese Loop can be challenging to use. We\u2019ll share more of our thoughts in our full review, but in the meantime, here\u2019s everything you need to know about preordering both the Series 10 and the new Ultra 2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The forthcoming Apple Watch Series 10 has been redesigned with a brighter wide-angle OLED display that\u2019s even bigger than that of the Apple Watch Ultra<\/a>. Apple also says it\u2019s the company\u2019s fastest-charging smartwatch to date, allowing it to reach up to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes. The wearable is thinner overall, too, with rounder corners that make for a softer, more streamlined appearance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The wearable comes with a few changes under the hood \u2014 most notably, a new S10 chip with a four-core neural engine. It also features new health and fitness features, including depth and temperature sensors as well as an accelerometer that detects breathing disturbances potentially related to sleep apnea. Once detected, the wearable sends alerts to the user and provides a detailed report to share with a doctor. The feature hasn\u2019t yet received FDA approval, but Apple expects it to do so in the coming months. The wearable\u2019s support for watchOS 11<\/a>, meanwhile, introduces other fitness features, including a Training Load measurement and the ability to\u00a0pause your Activity Rings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Like previous models, Apple\u2019s latest wearables will be available in both titanium and aluminum finishes. Depending on which you choose, you have the option of the following colors: silver, rose gold, jet black, dark gray, and a \u201cnatural\u201d light gray shade. You can currently preorder the GPS model from Apple in the 42mm size starting at $399<\/a> or the 46mm size starting at $429<\/a>. If you want to add cellular connectivity, you can preorder the 42mm and 46mm models for\u00a0$499<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0$529<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The refreshed Apple Watch Ultra 2 now\u00a0comes with a new \u201csatin black\u201d color option, marking the first time Apple has offered the wearable in more than one color. Like the Series 10, it will also support sleep apnea detection and play music and podcasts via the watch\u2019s built-in speakers. Otherwise, it\u2019s identical to the Ultra 2 released last year<\/a>, which means it continues to cater to more athletic types than Apple\u2019s other watches. It\u2019s still the most rugged and long-lasting watch in Apple\u2019s lineup, with a last-gen S9 processor and a second-gen ultra wideband chip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The black Apple Watch Ultra 2 continues to come in one configuration \u2014 49mm, with cellular connectivity \u2014 and will launch on September 20th with either an Ocean Band, an Alpine Loop, or a Trail Loop strap. You can preorder it from Apple starting today for $799<\/a> or with a matching titanium Milanese Loop for $899<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
