New watch faces, an enhanced ECG sensor, and water resistance are coming to the Apple Watch Series 10: reports

 Apple is gearing up to reveal the highly anticipated Apple Watch Series 10 (or Watch X) during the "It's Glowtime" event on September 9. Rumors and leaks have been swirling, hinting at some exciting new features and upgrades that will set it apart from the Series 9. One of the biggest changes? The Series 10 could feature larger displays, possibly moving beyond the current 41mm and 45mm sizes. Plus, you can expect an upgraded heart rate sensor and better water resistance.

What’s New in the Apple Watch Series 10?

According to reports, the Apple Watch Series 10 will come with an enhanced heart rate sensor, possibly providing more precise readings and unlocking new health features. Leaks have even suggested it could detect sleep apnea, a function that many users will find incredibly useful. Another major improvement could involve how your health data is processed. Instead of the watch doing all the heavy lifting, it looks like Apple is developing new algorithms for the iPhone’s Health app to analyze data from the heart rate sensor. This might allow for better detection of conditions like atrial fibrillation.

Currently, the Series 9 offers water resistance up to 50 meters, but it’s not ideal for high-speed water activities or scuba diving. For that, Apple fans have had to rely on the Apple Watch Ultra, which has up to 100 meters of water resistance. But the Series 10 is expected to step up its game, offering water resistance suitable for high-speed water sports up to 20 meters deep. It’s also tipped to support Apple’s Depth app, which was previously exclusive to the Watch Ultra, making it even more adventure-friendly.

Bigger and Bolder

The Apple Watch Series 10 is rumored to come in two new sizes: 44mm and a larger 48mm, perfect for those who love bigger screens. With this size upgrade, you might also see new watch faces. One of the rumored faces, "Reflections," could change depending on the ambient light around you, adding a fresh, dynamic touch. There’s also talk of a new Hermès "Regatta" watch face, inspired by sailing competitions, which might include a built-in timer.

All these exciting updates are making the Apple Watch Series 10 a hot topic. If these rumors hold true, this smartwatch could be a game-changer for both fitness enthusiasts and tech lovers alike. Stay tuned for the official launch!
