Apple Watch Series 10 battery life

 
Apple has been sticking with the same battery life for its smartwatches (the Ultra models are a different story though), and this year there isn't a notable upgrade to battery life either. So, the Apple Watch Series 10 has the same battery life as its Series 9 predecessor, which can last up to 18 hours on a single charge, according to Apple.

The timepiece up to 18 hours of battery life and a Low Power Mode which can help the watch last up to 36 hours.

Apple Watch Series 10 features and software

On the Apple Watch Series 10, we have the same health and wellness features that on the Series 9, and some more. So, we have regular Crash Detection, ECG, fall detection, sleep monitoring, and activities.

Apple's taking health to the next level with this smartwatch. The hot new feature that's present in the Series 10 is sleep apnea detection. Sleep apnea is basically a condition when you stop breathing for a given time when you're asleep - and it could potentially be a dangerous condition. The feature is able to monitor your sleeping and breathing habits and predict if you have the condition, and will give you a notification. It uses the accelerometer sensor to detect breathing disturbances and every 30 days, it analyses the data and produces a report you can use to share with your doctor if needed.

There were rumors about blood glucose monitoring, but that's a tech that's not coming this time. Blood glucose monitoring has been in the rumors for Apple Watches for at least a couple of years, but it's a complicated tech that's really important to be accurate.

As for Apple Intelligence (Apple's take on generative AI), we don't know if the 2024 Apple Watch will get some of the features. We'll know more about this hopefully soon, so we'll keep you updated.
