The latest Apple Watch is the slimmest and lightest model released so far. But how does the Series 10 compare in thickness to Series 9 and previous versions? Continue reading for all the specifics.
The Apple Watch Series 10 introduces new sizes accompanied by the largest displays and thinnest design yet.
Interestingly, Apple has slightly widened the bezel of the display with the Series 10. However, the corners are more rounded, giving it a softer and more streamlined appearance.
Here’s how the thickness of Apple Watch Series 10 compares to Series 9 and prior models
- Series 10 is approximately 10% thinner than Series 7-9.
- Series 10 is remarkably ~50% thinner than the Apple Watch Ultra/2
Will you perceive the difference? Likely, yes—between the reduced thickness, extended screen area, and lighter weight. Yet, the best way to confirm is to try one on at an Apple Store or another retailer.

The Apple Watch Series 10 models are notably lighter due to the slimmer design and titanium construction for the premium variants instead of stainless steel. Even the aluminum Series 10 models are lighter compared to Series 9 and predecessors.
In terms of display, the 46mm and 42mm cases provide up to 30% more screen real estate than the Series 6. This translates to an extra line of text on the screen and for the 46mm Series 10, the display is just slightly larger than the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra/2.
Another exciting addition is the wide-angle OLED display, which boasts up to a 40% brighter screen visible from an angle.
