The Always-On Retina display lets you read the time and your stats without raising your wrist, and the Ion-X glass is four times more crack-resistant than the previous SE. Inside, the S10 chip delivers the same processing power as Apple's flagship watches — smooth performance, snappy app switching, and on-device Siri that works without Wi-Fi and can answer health questions like "how much did I sleep last night?"
Health tracking includes wrist temperature sensing for richer Vitals app insights and retrospective ovulation estimates via the Cycle Tracking app, sleep scoring across stages (REM, core, deep), and sleep apnea notifications that monitor for breathing disturbances over time. Heart rate monitoring covers high and low alerts plus irregular rhythm notifications. Daily fitness tracks Move, Exercise, and Stand rings, with real-time metrics across running, swimming, cycling, yoga, and more. The improved Workout app layout puts media controls, Pacer, and Custom Workouts at the corners for quicker access, and Workout Buddy — powered by Apple Intelligence from a nearby iPhone — delivers personalized audio motivation mid-session.
Safety is built deep: Emergency SOS calls emergency services and shares your location at the press of a button, Fall Detection auto-connects you with help after a hard fall, Crash Detection activates automatically after a severe car crash, Check In notifies a contact when you arrive safely, and Backtrack in the Compass app retraces your GPS path when you're off the grid. Medical ID keeps critical health information — allergies, medications — accessible from the lock screen.
Day to day, Apple Pay lets you pay contactless from the wrist, cellular models let you call, text, and stream without your iPhone nearby, and double tap and wrist flick gestures keep things one-handed.
