The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not anticipated until September. Enhancements over the Series 9 include a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that's thinner for a sleeker watch design, a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and minor features like a water depth gauge. If you're upgrading from the Series 9, the changes might not justify the cost, but for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the top pick.

Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a bigger size (42mm vs. 40mm), an Always-On display, a 30% more powerful processor, twice the storage, advanced fitness and health monitoring, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the SE is more budget-friendly at $199 on Amazon, the Series 10's upgrades are compelling for most users.

Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?

Although technically feasible, using an Apple Watch with an Android phone is not advisable. Many of the watch's functions require an iOS device, and while workarounds exist, they're cumbersome. If you're set on an Apple Watch, pairing it with an iPhone is the best route. For Android users, numerous compatible smartwatches offer a better experience.
