Apple Watch Series 10 From $299

Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm)

Originally priced at $399, the 42mm model is now available for $299, saving you 25%. The 46mm model, which was $429, is now $329, a 23% discount. The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest in mainstream Apple Watch technology, with the Series 11 not expected until September of this year. Compared to the Apple Watch Series 9, the Series 10 features a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's slimmer, allowing for a thinner watch profile, a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and new features such as a water depth gauge. While those upgrading from the Series 9 may not find compelling reasons to switch, the Series 10 is an excellent choice for first-time Apple Watch buyers, offering the best features for most users.

When compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 boasts a larger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a bigger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, more advanced fitness tracking and body monitoring sensors, support for the double-tap gesture, and faster charging. While the Apple Watch SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the upgrades in the Series 10 justify the extra cost for most people.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

While it is technically possible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we strongly advise against it. Many of the Apple Watch's key features are designed to work with an iOS operating system, and using workarounds to access these features can be cumbersome for the average user. If you're set on owning an Apple Watch, the best course of action is to purchase an iPhone as well. For those satisfied with their Android smartphones, there are numerous Android-compatible smartwatches that would be a more suitable choice.
