CNET reviews Apple Watch Series 10: Voice isolation is mind-blowingly good

0

Available in both aluminum and titanium, Apple Watch Series 10 comes in an array of stunning colors and finishes.

NCET’s Lexy Savvides has tested the new Apple Watch Series 10 and found she “wasn’t expecting it to be this good. The Series 10 feels a lot like a slimmer Apple Watch Ultra, and that’s a good thing.”

Lexy Savvides for CNET:

The Apple Watch Series 10 is the same Apple Watch you know, but it’s sleeker and more practical than ever. For its 10th birthday, the Series 10 gets a slimmer frame with a new titanium case option, sleep apnea notifications and a ticking second hand on the always-on display among other improvements.

Despite shrinking a lot of internal elements like the digital crown and speaker, the screen is bigger than ever. That means there are two new case sizes: a 42-millimeter and a 46mm option. It feels like a true full circle moment, as the large size of the original Apple Watch was 42mm.

The Apple Watch Series 10 looks and feels more like a traditional wristwatch than ever – but only if you want it to. That’s in part thanks to the LTPO 3 display that can go down to a 1Hz refresh rate, which enables the ticking second hand on the always-on display… It seems like a niche feature, but you’d be surprised at the number of readers who have reached out asking for a smartwatch with a second hand. Until now, it’s been almost impossible to find, unless you go for a sports watch with a memory-in-pixel display. Healthcare workers especially will find this helpful on the Series 10.

Coming from a bulkier watch like the Ultra 2, which I’ve worn for the better part of a year, I keep looking down to check my wrist sometimes to make sure I’m still wearing the Series 10. It sounds silly, but it really is light enough that I forget it’s on my wrist.

The Apple Watch Series 10 voice isolation is mind-blowingly good. The Apple Watch Series 10 comes with a new voice isolation feature to reduce background noise on phone and FaceTime calls. It’s the same feature found on AirPods Pro 2…

In many ways, the Series 10 feels like an Apple Watch Ultra lite, thanks to a bigger screen and a suite of new health and fitness tools. Now all it needs is a bigger battery to match.
