## Apple Watch Series 10: Two Months In – A Comparative Look
After two months of daily wear, comparing the Apple Watch Series 10 with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 reveals some interesting insights. _MacRumors_ videographer Dan Barbera’s extended use provides a valuable perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
### Display Dominance and Practicality
While the larger Series 10 boasts the largest display in the Apple Watch lineup, surpassing even the Ultra 2, the difference is marginal. This means Ultra 2 users aren’t sacrificing much screen real estate. However, the Series 10’s lighter and slimmer profile offers a noticeable advantage in comfort for everyday wear. Furthermore, the Series 10’s enhanced display visibility at various angles allows for quick time checks regardless of wrist position, a feature complemented by the 1Hz minimum refresh rate enabling an always-on second hand for compatible watch faces.
### Feature Parity and Key Differentiators
Both the Series 10 and Ultra 2 share core health features, including sleep apnea detection. They also offer similar functionalities like the Dive and Tides apps. However, the Ultra 2’s superior depth resistance makes it suitable for deep-water diving, a capability the Series 10 lacks. The Ultra 2’s exclusive emergency siren further distinguishes it. Essentially, the Series 10 mirrors much of the Ultra 2’s functionality, but without the ruggedized design and extended battery life.
### Choosing the Right Apple Watch: A Balancing Act
For current Ultra 2 owners, upgrading to the Series 10 offers minimal benefits unless a slimmer, lighter watch is a top priority. The decision between purchasing the Ultra 2 or Series 10 hinges on balancing comfort and battery performance. The Series 10 prioritizes wearability, while the Ultra 2 excels in longevity, providing significantly longer battery life. Ultimately, the ideal choice depends on individual needs and priorities.
