The Apple Watch Series 10 improves on our favorite smartwatch with a bigger screen and new sleep health tracking, though not everyone needs to rush out and upgrade.

Although the Apple Watch Series 10 offers plenty of updates, it's not the best value option. Instead, I'm going for its predecessor.

The embiggening of the Apple Watch is nothing new. The original Apple Watch measured 38mm and 42mm. The Series 4 bumped that up to 40mm and 44mm. The Series 7 made it 41mm and 45mm. Today, the Series 10 measures 42mm and 46mm. Normally, I rail against the trend toward larger watches, but the Series 10’s display is worth every millimeter.

In the release announcing its Watch Series 10’s availability, Apple refers to the device’s “refined” design. It’s an accurate word for the device overall.

The best place for a wearable is charged up on your wrist. Find out more about Apple Watch Series 10 battery life and how you can improve it.
