How to preorder the lighter, but more powerful Apple Watch 10

While the new Apple Watch 10 doesn't officially drop until September 20, pre-orders have already opened.

So you can head to the website now to get your order in for the Apple Watch 10 and any other new Apple tech you've been waiting for. Prices start at $399 for the 42mm Apple Watch 10 or $429 for the 46mm size. Like its predecessors, shoppers will be able to choose from a GPS only or GPS + Cellular version. (Note that your cell provider will likely charge a monthly fee for connecting the watch to cellular service.) 

The biggest upgrades to the latest smartwatch from Apple are in its design. The larger display is up to 30% bigger than previous generations. It's even bigger than the screen on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. In addition to being bigger, it also uses as wide-angle OLED display. That makes for a crisper, brighter display that you can see clearly from a wider range of angles, even if you only have a quick second to glance down at your wrist.

The screen may be bigger but the smartwatch itself is lighter. At 9.7mm thick, it's about 10% thinner than the Apple Watch 9 and lighter. So you get the easier-to-see screen you want and the lightweight design you need to be able to wear this comfortably all day and all night.

Speaking of night, the new Apple Watch 10 is equipped with the ability to detect signs of sleep apnea while you're sleeping. This feature is still awaiting FDA clearance, but the brand said it's expecting to roll it out in over 150 countries later this month. Once it's officially launched, the sleep apnea tracking will use the accelerometer on the watch to measure breathing disturbances. Every 30 days, it will analyze and compile that data into a report. If it detects signs of possible sleep apnea, it'll send you an alert so that you can share that report with your doctor.

Since an estimated 80% of obstructive sleep apnea cases remain undiagnosed, this new feature may play a big role in helping people get the diagnosis and treatment they need to sleep better and reduce their risk of heart, kidney and metabolic health complications that are linked to the condition.

Users will also enjoy other cool health and fitness upgrades, like improved auto-detection of your activities, new performance metrics, and new features like offline maps for hiking.

Top features of the new Apple Watch Series 10:

• A 30% larger screen with wide-angle OLED technology offers a brighter, crisper display that you can see from all angles.
• The Apple Watch 10 is thinner and lighter than previous models.
• Pending FDA clearance, the new Apple Watch will be able to detect signs of sleep apnea and generate a report of your sleep data to show your doctor.
• Apple's AI can now suppress background noises when answering calls from your watch.
• The more powerful AI also has improved crash detection and fall detection.
• With even faster charging, you can get up to 80% battery with just 30 minutes of charging.
