On Monday, Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 10 at the “It’s Glowtime” event in Cupertino, California. The new Apple Watch features the largest display and thinnest design yet, Apple CEO Tim Cook said during the event. It’s also the fastest-charging Apple Watch, getting you up to 80% battery in 30 minutes, Apple says. In terms of features, the Series 10 includes sleep apnea detection for the first time and an impressive 18-hour battery life.

The Apple Watch Series 10 offers two bigger sizes (42mm and 46mm) and a slim design, which should make it more comfortable to wear on your wrist. You can opt for an aluminum or titanium display (the titanium has a more durable sapphire crystal display), along with new matching loops. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 also got a new colorway in satin black, though no other changes.
Here’s what to know about when the new watches will be released and where to preorder. (You can also find out how to preorder the new iPhone 16 line and the new AirPods 4 and AirPods Max .)
