An innovative metal back integrates the antenna into the housing of the device itself, combining the two layers into one. The back is perfectly matched in material, finish, and color to the rest of the case, making it appear like the device is made from a single piece of metal.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being thinner, Apple Watch Series 10 is also lighter: Aluminum cases weigh up to 10 percent less than Series 9, and titanium cases weigh almost 20 percent less than stainless steel Series 9. The case also features more rounded corners and a wider aspect ratio, which contribute to a much larger display while only slightly growing the case to new 42mm and 46mm sizes.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen minutes of charging provides up to eight hours of normal daily use, or eight minutes of charging powers up to eight hours of sleep tracking.

Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyze breathing disturbance data and notify users if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea so they can speak to their doctor about next steps, including potential diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Because overall quality of sleep is important, Breathing Disturbances can also be used to assess restfulness of sleep. Breathing Disturbances can be influenced by alcohol, medications, sleep position, and more. Users can view their nightly Breathing Disturbances in the Health app, where they are classified as elevated or not elevated, and can be viewed over a one-month, six-month, or one-year period.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2024\/09\/apple-watch-ultra-2-now-available-in-black-titanium\/\">Apple<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2024\/09\/apple-watch-ultra-2-now-available-in-black-titanium\/\">\n<p>Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black titanium, Apple Watch Herm&egrave;s Ultra 2, and the new Titanium Milanese Loop can be pre-ordered today, with availability beginning Friday, September 20.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2024\/06\/10\/watchos-11-announced\/\">watchOS 11 Announced<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/09\/12\/apple-watch-series-9\/\">Apple Watch Series 9<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/09\/12\/apple-watch-ultra-2\/\">Apple Watch Ultra 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/07\/apple-watch-se-2022\/\">Apple Watch SE 2022<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"apple-watch-series-10-update-2024-09-12\">Update (2024-09-12): <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markgurman\/status\/1833282385749938454\">Mark Gurman<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markgurman\/status\/1833282385749938454\">\n<p>This has gone under the radar, but if you have an Apple Watch Series 6 or newer with Blood Oxygen monitoring and you buy a new Apple Watch, you&rsquo;re going to lose that very key feature a lot of people rely on until Apple figures out a workaround or settles with Masimo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cuzurro\/status\/1833305479734321654\">Leonardo G Di Giulio<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cuzurro\/status\/1833305479734321654\">\n<p>Imagine how much accurate [the sleep apnea detection] would be if it also used the oxygen data.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@_Davidsmith\/113112434833045537\">David Smith<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@_Davidsmith\/113112434833045537\"><p>An interesting point of comparison.
