The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not expected until September. Compared to the Series 9, the Series 10 features a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's thinner allowing for a slimmer watch profile, a slightly larger base model size of 42mm versus 41mm, and minor enhancements like a water depth gauge. If you already own a Series 9, the upgrade might not be compelling, but for first-time buyers, the Series 10 stands out as the best Apple Watch option for most users.

When compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a larger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a bigger 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 more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the enhancements in the Series 10 justify the investment for most.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

Although it's technically feasible to pair an Apple Watch with an Android phone, it's not advisable. Many of the Apple Watch's features require an iOS device, and the workarounds for Android are cumbersome. If you're set on getting an Apple Watch, consider getting an iPhone first. For Android users, there are plenty of suitable Android smartwatches available.
