Apple Watch Series 10: the full buy-or-skip review

Is the Apple Watch Series 10 worth buying? Short answer: buy it, if you use an iPhone and want the best smartwatch for health and fitness. This review explains what this Apple model gets right, where it falls short, what it usually costs in India and which smartwatch to buy instead if it is not the right fit for you.

What makes the Apple Watch Series 10 a buy

The headline: best health features and apps. Key specs: Display: Always-on OLED; Health: ECG, heart rate, sleep; Battery: About 18 h. It is made for people who want iPhone users, and usually sells for ₹40,000–₹50,000.

The trade-offs

Good: thin, bright display, strong health tracking, huge app support. Not so good: daily charging, works only with iPhone. None of this rules it out for the right buyer, but read the skip-if line before you order.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you use Android. The Garmin Forerunner 265 is the better buy then. Every other option is in our best smartwatches list.

What to buy instead

Instead, consider the Garmin Forerunner 265 (₹38,000–₹48,000): accurate GPS and training insights. Better if you train for runs and want accurate GPS and recovery data.

Instead, consider the Apple Watch SE (₹24,999–₹29,999): full iPhone integration with fall and crash detection. Better if you use an iPhone.

Instead, consider the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 (₹25,000–₹33,000): wear OS with Galaxy health tools. Better if you use an Android phone, especially a Galaxy, and want a full smartwatch.

Instead, consider the Amazfit Active 2 (₹11,999–₹14,999): dual-band GPS and 10-day battery. Better if you run or cycle and want accurate GPS.

Instead, consider the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 (₹4,000–₹5,500): built-in GPS and AMOLED for little money. Better if you want a stylish budget smartwatch with GPS.

Instead, consider the Noise ColorFit Pro 5 (₹3,500–₹5,000): Bluetooth calling and AMOLED. Better if you want an affordable watch for notifications and Bluetooth calls.

Instead, consider the boAt Lunar Discovery (₹1,999–₹2,999): round AMOLED watch for the price of a dinner out. Better if you want a basic smartwatch for very little.

India-specific tip

Budget smartwatches from Indian brands are great value for notifications and calling, but their health readings are not medical-grade; see a doctor for real concerns.

Prices on Amazon.in move in a pattern. The deepest cuts land in the Great Indian Festival (around Navratri and Diwali), Prime Day in July and the Republic Day sale in January, usually with extra bank-card discounts and no-cost EMI. Judge a deal against the usual price we show, never against the MRP.
