Apple Watch Series 10
4.6-star average rating from 459 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
The latest version of our favorite smartwatches (the Series 9), the Apple Watch Series 10 is the brand’s thinnest model so far, plus it has a brighter screen that comes in two sizes. In addition to tracking fitness metrics and receiving texts, calls and notifications, its sleep apnea detection monitors breathing disturbances and its 18-hour battery life fast-charges in as little as 30 minutes, according to Apple.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen)
4.4-star average rating from 618 reviews on Amazon
The Apple Watch SE costs significantly less than other models, but you can still send texts, take calls, use Siri and listen to music and podcasts straight from your wrist. It also pairs with Apple’s Health and Fitness apps to track workout performance, sleep quality, heart rate and more. Its battery lasts for up to 18 hours and it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, according to Apple.
“The Apple Watch SE is an excellent first smartwatch — it was mine,” says NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz. “It’s much lower priced than Apple’s other wearables, yet has almost all of the same features. I’m particularly impressed with the watch’s exercise tracking — it can track 20 different exercises, including indoor and outdoor runs, with useful stat monitoring like heart rate zone and pace. It syncs seamlessly with your iPhone, so it’s a cinch to set up, in my experience.”
