I don't understand the request for longer battery time if your intention is to wear it at night. Even if it doubled the battery life, you still would have to change your habit and charge it during the day after you get up?
You’re totally right, normally I like Marques’ takes but it feels like his disappointment with the lack of (major) changes colored his review quite a bit. I get it, I wish they’d changed a little more too, but some of the changes they’ve made are actually super nice even if they aren’t game changing. After watching this video I’m actually kind of super tempted to trade in my Series 7, the Jet Black is gorgeous.
@@Savethemanuals94 Haha, I enjoy his content, and like him a lot, but the entire tone of his watch review started from the premise of rumours not coming to fruition. This review actually answered real-world questions I had, like how loud is the new speaker feature. iJustine went wake-boarding and snorkelling, which I will never do, but it was super cool to see some new capabilities in action.
While I was hoping for a much bigger upgrade, I’m trading in my Ultra 1 just because of the sleekness and thinness of the Series 10. I loved the battery life of the Ultra 1 but its bulkiness never justified my simple lifestyle.
we live in a world where people walk around blasting portable bluetooth speakers, and we're concerned with people distracting others from that little watch speaker? I wish that was the worst distraction of my commute 😂
Upgrading from series 7 to series 10. Love the look of the jet black. Would be interested to see the smaller series 10 next to the larger series 9 as an example. Glad you mentioned the smaller wrists that many of us have and don’t want to look like we strapped a phone to our arm 😂
I'm still on a series 4 and it does everything I need to be honest. I don't use it track my sleep as I use the app sleep cycle next to my bed. That said the 1hz refresh rate screen and faster battery charging has definitely got me considering getting a Series 10.
I was able to play audio through the speaker on the Series 1. Why did they take it away? I can't even play audio through the Ultra Series 1. Ugh. Frustrating. There is no reason for this limitation.
That was a really good and practical review! I have the series 4 so I’m feeling really left out that I can’t get watch OS 11. I had planned on waiting til next year, but now I’m really wondering what to do
Great review! I'm so excited for mine. I'm not excited for more people to take advantage of the external speakers by listening to their music/podcasts/books without earbuds. That's the world we live in now.
I ordered this exact watch with hopes for the link band in a couple months when it’s available. Is the Milanese loop comfortable? I’ve never tried one but it looks much classier than the sport bands.
Ya the battery life is dramatic. Since it hasnt changed we really need to rethink our charging strategy. Keep it on at night, charge 30 minutes in the morning while getting ready, charge again before or during lunch and it should be full, ready for afternoon / evening activities. Charge again when winding down before bed and it’s full again for the night. There’s plenty of moments during the day when you don’t actively need the watch so opportunities to fast charge. Yes, a portable charger would come in handy for those on the go a lot
The Apple Watch Series 5 also was marketed as being able to go down to 1 Hz, they have always been able to display seconds, Apple chooses to limit it to the new watches, but there's no technical reason they wouldn't be able to.
interested in buying my first Apple Watch ever question is do i get the series 9 the 45 mm or 10 the 46 mm or the new Ultra not very techy at age 59 i like all the health features and being able to use it as a golf watch great review by the way ordering the 16 Pro Max iphone in black with 512gb pretty excited about both cheers from Vulcan Canada
Been waiting all morning and hoping Apples embargo will end today at 1pm utc allowing videos on either/both the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch s10.. have ordered the iPhone 16 pro max but still undecided on which Apple Watch to get Cool to see all the features used and reviewed Can you tell me when the iPhone 16 videos can be uploaded? Will it be tomorrow at 1pm utc😏😊
Would also love to see a test on scratch resistance of the titanium with the milanese loop. I’m seeing others mentioning how titanium scratches easier than stainless steel as well as how often the hardness of the milanese loop scratches polished metal. I love the look of them but prefer low maintenance over looks
Ever since they got rid of the gold bronze (way back on Apple Watch 6, I think) I've always been disappointed about the tone on the stainless steel Gold Apple Watch. I hope they have made a better gold tone this time around and not all washed out that makes it look silver instead of gold.
I have series 8 in gold I was going to Upgrade to this one bigger screen and improve speakers the only problem is that battery life is like series 8 of course with low power mode you can get nearly same as ultra I don't think its the upgrade I was waiting for I have had ultra 1st gen I I didn't really like it it look more of toy to me I might just wait until next year model hopefully a better battery life would win me over
I’m going to probably upgrade from s7 to s10. Idk yet when or maybe I’m gonna wait extra year. To see what’s next for apple. What do you guys think. My s7 is on 77 of battery health and i got jammed side button. I can’t use it anymore.
is it good for someone planning to get their first apple watch, i have had the samsung watches but not ios. so the only attractive feature is the slimmer size for me
I’m going to use my series 9 with blood oxygen as my sleep watch and my new series 10 for during the day. I was trying to charge my watch before bed but sometimes I was falling asleep before it could fully charge.
I'm considering an Apple Watch Series 10 and was wondering if the ticking seconds hand is also always on for older watch faces like "California" or just on the new watch OS 11 faces?
Second hand ONLY on a couple watch faces??? Dude. I use California and world time, only reason I’m considering an upgrade is for the second hand, what a stupid miss.
I so wish I could use the AOD but it won’t work with my tattoo. Although it does make the cheaper older models more appealing since I can’t use any feature that requires wrist detection. It’s great for reminders and closing my rings though. 🤷🏼♂️
Does anyone know if the music can be played in the background of other apps? Like fitness tracker? I’ve only used garmin but having a music playable speaker sounds amazing so I might switch but if I can’t use the music while having fitness tracker open then I won’t switch. Thanks
@@LexySavvides omggggg 😊😊, blushing cuz now my long runs won’t be so dull and I’ll have that lil boost of my funky playlist. This year will be big upgrade for me. iPhone 8plus to an iphone16, and a 5 year old garmin to a Apple Watch. Excited!!

Hello, i was wondering why my series 8 didn't get the speaker playback feature, because to me it sounds really good.😬
I don't understand the request for longer battery time if your intention is to wear it at night. Even if it doubled the battery life, you still would have to change your habit and charge it during the day after you get up?
Finally someone who shows the gold version, comparing its size to another watch and shows the phone quality ❤
This was much more informative than MKBHD’s review. Thanks for the real world experience tests!

Wow firing shots at mkbhd? Damn he’s not gonna get good sleep tonight bro
Marques reviews gotten boring its all the same gimmick
He barely even reviewed it. He has got lazy.

A proper journalistic review here! Thank you CNET!
That isolation voice test was awesome.
I’m upgrading to the S10 from S4. Great review thanks!
Me too!
aye same
I'm waiting for 14, I have 8.
The Galaxy S10 from a S4
Same 😎
While I was hoping for a much bigger upgrade, I’m trading in my Ultra 1 just because of the sleekness and thinness of the Series 10. I loved the battery life of the Ultra 1 but its bulkiness never justified my simple lifestyle.
The double tap gesture and on device Siri are a nice upgrade too
I did the same
this is actually the only video i could see a difference in the off-axis brightness, thanks!
Thanks for watching! As always lmk if you have any questions I didn’t answer in the review ⌚️
I am sold on the Apple Watch Series 10, because everything sounds sexier in Australian accent 😁
100% agree 🫣
The Gold suits you, Lexy! 🙂⌚️
Funny and creative way to test out the new features.
Finally I get the answer! The second hands ticking on how many watch faces. Thanks!
Yeah, I thought every watch face was functional 😢
This is a huge disappointment to me tbh. They need to add it to every analogue watch face.
we live in a world where people walk around blasting portable bluetooth speakers, and we're concerned with people distracting others from that little watch speaker? I wish that was the worst distraction of my commute 😂
I love this review! No sugar coating! Ima upgrade from SE first gen.
Your reviews are the best
Upgrading from series 7 to series 10. Love the look of the jet black.

As a Chinese I find it funny that you test voice isolation from traditional lion dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best Apple Watch Review Hand Down! 👏🏻
That call quality is amazing
I was able to play audio through the speaker on the Series 1. Why did they take it away? I can't even play audio through the Ultra Series 1. Ugh. Frustrating. There is no reason for this limitation.
What great video!!! Congratulations!!
The Aussie accent also helps ;)
That was a really good and practical review! I have the series 4 so I’m feeling really left out that I can’t get watch OS 11. I had planned on waiting til next year, but now I’m really wondering what to do
3:58 it is the most extreme sound test for apple watch i have even viewed
I get why Apple didn’t name the Series 10 Watch as Apple Watch X, as it wasn’t much of a upgrade
lol your thought process is stupid. The iPhone X of the watch is the ultra
your life must be hard
for some it's a great upgrade. Apple is not even forcing you. People have different reason of buying products. You're not the target person dude
Such a great review! Thank you!
I have an Apple Watch SE second gen, is it worth the upgrade to 10?
A good review indeed. Keep going CNET.
Fantastic review, in depth yet concise and provided useful information for the people who will actually be buying it. Thank you
This is a GREAT review! Probably the best I’ve seen. Thanks!
You sound exactly like my Siri, great review too!
Great review! I'm so excited for mine. I'm not excited for more people to take advantage of the external speakers by listening to their music/podcasts/books without earbuds. That's the world we live in now.
2:37 This was such a great test! 👍🏼
This is very well done!
Why is it I always love your videos the most? You have the kindest heart. God bless ✝️🙏

The voice isolation is very good it does what it needs to do make the voice clear
The titanium looks soooo nice. Best looking Apple Watch they’ve ever released
Your review was insightful and very helpful. Thank you for all the tests you put the watch through and giving us all that information.

finally an honest review that reminds folks they’re not getting the blood oxygen measurement any longer
40 mm & 41 mm are great. 42 mm is like going back to series 3 42mm which was once kinda too big in my small wrist
Sticking with the series 9 for now :)
Really appreciate you mentioning the ticking second hand is only a a couple face.....thank you! 🙂
When will see the FaceTime Apple Watch,,,??
Still using series 3 so this in a 46mm would feel like quite the upgrade
great review
Does anyone else prefer the slightly thinner size of the 7/8/9? The 10 looks too square to me.

The middle section of the “modular” watch face is “your schedule”. It only shows 1 event in my watch 7. Does it show 2 events on watch 10?

Almost no difference from the 9. Bought it anyway, but buyers be advised.
i am happy with galaxy watch ultra
I’m going to probably upgrade from s7 to s10. Idk yet when or maybe I’m gonna wait extra year. To see what’s next for apple.
What do you guys think. My s7 is on 77 of battery health and i got jammed side button. I can’t use it anymore.
Really good review!
Why can’t Apple just give us some realistic watch faces designs that look like a real mechanical watch not digital. 👍
Get a mechanical watch. Timex are cheap.
5:36 Please DO NOT be the person who uses his speakers to listen to podcasts and music in public.
is it good for someone planning to get their first apple watch, i have had the samsung watches but not ios. so the only attractive feature is the slimmer size for me
apple watch is for people who owns iPhone.
you can go to park with airpods pro and apple watch without your iPhone and listen to music...unwind
@@PSy84 bro I have an iPhone now for the past 4 years, I shifted brands.
I love my Apple Watch Ultra 2, which they will probably update next year
they'll probably just make ultra 3 into 47mm and 52mm versions
I’m going to use my series 9 with blood oxygen as my sleep watch and my new series 10 for during the day. I was trying to charge my watch before bed but sometimes I was falling asleep before it could fully charge.
First world problems and solutions (not meant in any negative way)
@@KingFozzie1 You're not wrong! lol
Seeing as how I can't have my watch on where I work (or phone) the nighttime sleep info is great.
Well done video
I'm considering an Apple Watch Series 10 and was wondering if the ticking seconds hand is also always on for older watch faces like "California" or just on the new watch OS 11 faces?
It’s only on the three ones I mentioned so far
Second hand ONLY on a couple watch faces??? Dude. I use California and world time, only reason I’m considering an upgrade is for the second hand, what a stupid miss.
I so wish I could use the AOD but it won’t work with my tattoo. Although it does make the cheaper older models more appealing since I can’t use any feature that requires wrist detection. It’s great for reminders and closing my rings though. 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve been wondering why the AOD had been acting up on my series 10. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it won’t. I have a full sleeve by the way.
You do not show the version shown in the thumbnail.
Great video
4:26 idk if i have Deja but but u could done this with of Apple Watch i recall that i was using it sometimes.
Will use my six for another year
3:03
Watch displays noise warning…..😄
Those bezels got huge
Has watch os 10 been fixed? Never regretted updating anything more than os 10, completely ruined the watch in every way.
Annoying rating… lol she wasn’t that annoying. ;) great review 🎉
😂 thanks!
Wonder what they wouldn’t let us use our custom ring tones
Without context and If you were to start watching the video @5:26, you'd think she was calling Faith annoying and extremely short. 😅
Never understood the battery/charging issue. Just pop it on the charger when you are in the shower.
Waiting for Apple watch ⌚️" Flip" or " Fold" to double the screen 😂❤❤❤ Apple iClam
I really hope its not rose gold in person.
I feel like the series 9 just came out.
Doesn’t look like a ticking second hand but rather a sweeping second hand.
Why can’t Apple just give us some realistic watch faces designs that look like a real mechanical watch not digital.
@@JaeWhite140 actually high-quality mechanical watches, have sweeping secondhand rather than ticking, which is Quartz movement
Does anyone know if the music can be played in the background of other apps? Like fitness tracker? I’ve only used garmin but having a music playable speaker sounds amazing so I might switch but if I can’t use the music while having fitness tracker open then I won’t switch. Thanks
Such a good question. Yes you can! Eg start a workout, open music app, Spotify etc, press play, switch back to workout app! It keeps playing

Ultra is much better with better battery and durability.
We need a Hologram face.
I can’t justify to spend $400-800 on Apple Watch where in 5 yrs it will be obsolete and basically toss it in trash
Why does Apple measure its iPads and iPhones in inches but its watches in millimeters??
Because watches in general are measured that way.
The ball is now in Huawei’s and/or Elon’s court if we want to get something truly next gen for a phone, watch or tablet space.
The fact that cnet thinks this is a review
Can someone tell me where can I get the exact same watch band and color at 6:46 ?
apple store
It’s actually the Glow band from Nomad
@@LexySavvides Thank you 😊
Watch series 9 could win you over just as much. The reason ? It’s the same watch
for people who goes to formal occasions...thin apple watch like this has been wanted by many for years...
Its only its 9th birthday if you think about it :P (0:05)
