Apple unveiled the Watch Series X for its 10th anniversary with the biggest display ever.?

Apple Watch X: Thinnest, Lightest, Titanium

The latest iteration of the leading Apple Watch line keeps the same familiar design with the largest display ever, side buttons, and Digital Crown. However, the shape is rounder this time. It’s 10% thinner than its predecessor and includes a larger screen, with an even bigger Apple Watch Ultra.

The X series charges several times faster, and it can recharge fully in 30 minutes. The charge lasts 18 hours.

The Apple Watch X includes the new S10 chip for future AI enhancements. Still, anyone waiting for Apple Intelligence to arrive on their wrist could be sorely disappointed — Apple currently has no plans to bring this to the Apple Watch.

This latest Apple Watch packs an improved, more power-efficient display using LTPO-TFT technology in the OLED display. It allows you to read the notifications from every angle.

Another innovation is that you can play music directly from your Apple Watch, as the sound system has been significantly improved.

Finally, we now have an Apple Watch Titanium instead of a steel model. It comes in three new colors. This means our wearables now look posh while being lighter.

Prices are the following:

  • Wireless: $399
  • GPS: $499

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Comes in Black Titanium

Apple finally introduced the new black titanium color option for the Watch Ultra 2, which we’ve been waiting for since last year.

We weren’t sure if we’d see the Watch Ultra 3 revealed after Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said earlier this year that Apple might need “more time to develop innovative health management features.”

At least we now have a new band, Titanium Milanese loup.

Price starts at $799, and the model will be available on September 20th.

Sleep Apnea Detection

High blood pressure detection is one long-awaited feature missing from the Apple Watch Series 10. Though we’d expected to see this, it was reportedly unreliable during testing and is apparently “no longer on the cards for an immediate release,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

There’s also no glucose monitoring. This feature has been in development for around a decade, and according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple “still needs to perfect the algorithms and on-board sensors” to bring glucose monitoring technology to market. Gurman believes it will be at least another three to seven years before we see this.

The feature builds on the watch’s existing sleep tracking to determine if the wearer has sleep apnea and recommends testing with a medical professional if appropriate. It will be available in the future, likely via a software update.
