Another way in which the Series 10 beats the Ultra is charging time, and this is something that's worth expanding on. Apple says that the Series 10 can charge from 0 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes (as opposed to older models which achieve the same feat in 45 minutes, whereas the Ultra models get there in an hour).

I was watching Apple’s 2024 Special Event with bated breath, expecting nothing less than a revolution in the Apple Watch’s design for its 10th anniversary. Rumours were all over the place, making it hard to predict what would happen.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is thinner, lighter, bigger, and more powerful, and the first time I've been tempted to upgrade in years.
