The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model from Apple, with the Series 11 not expected until September. Compared to the Apple Watch Series 9, the Series 10 features a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's slimmer rather than faster, a slightly larger base model size of 42mm versus 41mm, and minor enhancements like a water depth gauge. If you're already rocking a Series 9, there might not be enough new features to justify an upgrade. However, for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the best option for most people.

When compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a bigger 42mm size compared to the SE's 40mm, a larger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, advanced fitness and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the SE is currently more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the Series 10's upgrades make it a worthwhile investment for most users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

While it's technically feasible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Many of the Apple Watch's key features rely on an iPhone's iOS operating system. Although there are workarounds to access some features, the effort typically isn't worth it for most users. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider purchasing an iPhone first. For those content with their Android devices, there are numerous Android smartwatches that would be a better match.
