Ever since Apple released the latest Apple Watch Series 10 earlier in September , it has been steadily dropping in price; it’s currently sitting at $299 (originally $399) after a $100 drop, matching the lowest price yet, according to price-tracking tools . This price is for the 42mm case, 130 to 180mm size bands, in black, denim, and rose-gold case colors. The bigger 46mm case is down to $329 (originally $429), also its lowest price after a $100 discount.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is the best Apple Watch for most people and a great replacement if you’re still wearing the more budget SE , according to Lifehacker associate tech editor Michelle Ehrhardt’s review . There are also some key upgrades from the Apple Watch 9 , although they’re less noticeable than previous Apple Watch upgrades. If you’re curious to know how it compares to other flagship smartwatches, you can check out our head-to-head comparison post here .
Some of the first things you’ll notice on the Series 10 are a thinner case and a bigger OLED screen (either 1.6 inches or 1.8 inches, depending on which model you get). Unlike the Series 9, which could only take calls on the speaker, the Series 10 has audio playback, meaning you can listen to podcasts or Spotify on its speakers. The sleep features were also improved, with a notification that gets triggered by sleep apnea symptoms. There are also new depth and water temperature sensors that automatically turn on when you go underwater, a feature that used to be unique to the more premium Apple Watch Ultra series. Of course, you get the Vitals App with the Watch OS 11, which gives you your energy score based on many health metrics.
The battery will last you anywhere between 18 and 36 hours, depending on your use. You still get the same fitness features, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker from previous models—but still no blood oxygen sensor .
