My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Apple Watch Series 10
Since Apple released the new Apple Watch Series 10 earlier in September , its price has dropped steadily and consistently, and is currently $370 (originally $399), which is its lowest price yet, according to price checker tools . This price is for the 42mm case, small/medium band and black color only. Other options are available at a higher price. While the discount isn’t earth-shattering, it’s impressive considering this is Apple’s flagship product that came out last month.
According to Lifehacker associate tech editor Michelle Erhardt’s review , the Apple Watch Series 10 is the best Apple Watch for most people and a great replacement if you’re still wearing the lower -end SE . There are also a few key upgrades over the Apple Watch 9 , although fewer than the older Apple watches. If you’re interested in seeing how it compares to other flagship smartwatches, you can check out our comparison post here .
The first thing you might notice about the Series 10 is its thinner body and larger OLED screen (1.6 inches or 1.8 inches, depending on which size you get). Unlike the Series 9, which could only take calls through the speaker, the Series 10 supports audio playback, meaning you can listen to podcasts or Spotify on its speakers. Sleep features have also been improved, with a notification that is activated when sleep apnea symptoms occur. There are also new depth and water temperature sensors that automatically turn on when you go underwater. This feature was previously unique to the more premium Apple Watch Ultra series.
The battery will last for 18–36 hours, depending on usage. You still get the same fitness features, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker as previous models, but there’s still no blood oxygen sensor .
