Choosing an Apple Watch has evolved from a simple size debate to a 'which features won't work in your country' nightmare. The Series 10 boasts a 'bigger screen, about 10 percent thinner, and lighter,' plus fancy titanium cases replacing old stainless steel. But bad news for blood oxygen fans: due to a patent spat, 'new Series 9 and Ultra 2 models sold in the US after January 18th, 2024, no longer have this feature.' So if you want to breathe easy, buy older or overseas—apparently Apple cares about metal finishes more than your lungs.
