When it comes to smartwatches, Apple may not have been the first, but the Apple Watch is definitely one of the most popular choices. Launched in 2015, the Apple Watch has evolved over the years, offering three different models currently: Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE (2022).
Our focus here is on the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 (or possibly named Apple Watch X). So, when can you expect to see it on the market and what new features will it bring? Let’s dive into what we know so far.
When will the Apple Watch Series 10 be released?
Apple has a history of releasing new Watch models in September alongside the latest iPhones. Looking at the previous release dates:
- Apple Watch Series 9 – September 2023
- Apple Watch Series 8 – September 2022
- Apple Watch Series 7 – October 2021
- Apple Watch Series 6 – September 2020
Following this pattern, we can expect the Apple Watch 10 to arrive in September 2024, possibly alongside the iPhone 16. However, there’s no official confirmation of this date yet.
There’s a slight chance that Apple might delay the release until the Watch’s 10-year anniversary in 2025, but that seems unlikely. We are also anticipating the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
How much will the Apple Watch Series 10 cost?
Apple Watch prices have been relatively stable in recent years, despite economic uncertainties. Here are the starting prices for different sizes of recent generations:
- Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm) – £399/$399
- Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm) – £429/$429
- Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm) – £419/$399
- Apple Watch Series 8 (45mm) – £449/$429
- Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm) – £369/$399
- Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm) – £399/$429
- Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm) – £379/$399
- Apple Watch Series 6 (44mm) – £409/$429
The consistency in US pricing is reassuring, and we hope these prices remain the same for the upcoming 10th-gen model with watchOS 11.
What specs and features will the Apple Watch Series 10 have?
While Apple hasn’t officially announced the Series 10 yet, several rumors have surfaced. Here are some key speculations to watch out for:
New design
Rumors suggest that the Apple Watch 10 will feature a redesigned look, possibly with a slimmer casing and new band attachment method. Analysts predict larger sizes and thinner profiles for the Series 10 models, with some components possibly being 3D printed for cost efficiency.
Leaked CAD images hint at a larger 2-inch display for the Series 10, setting it apart from its predecessors.
Blood pressure monitoring
The Series 10 is rumored to include blood pressure monitoring capabilities, alerting users to high blood pressure and recommending follow-up actions.
Sleep Apnea tracking
Another speculated feature is sleep apnea tracking, which could provide valuable insights into nighttime breathing patterns and alert users to potential issues.
No Micro-LED display
Contrary to earlier rumors, it seems unlikely that the Series 10 will feature a Micro-LED display due to technological constraints.
