Does the thinness of the Apple Watch Series 10 make a difference?

Apple has done it again with the Series 10, making it 1mm thinner than the previous Series 4-9 generation of watches.

Does that 1 millimeter really make a difference?

Yes it does.

That 1mm might not seem like much, but after wearing the watch for a few months and going back and forth between the Series 9, I have noticed a few things.

The Series 10 nestles right into your wrist instead of sitting on top of it like the Series 9. That extra space is enough to notice your watch not getting snagged on a full-sleeve shirt as often, and smoothly concealing itself under the cuff.

Depending on the weather, humidity, and when I workout, I fasten my Sport Band at different holes. Here is what I do with the Series 9 compared to the Series 10:

• Series 9 - Sport Band at 3rd hole in the Winter, 3 or 4 in the Summer, and 2 when working out (really tight fit).

• Series 10 - Sport Band at 2nd or 3rd hole in the Winter, 3 in the “Summer,” and 2 when working out.

Summer hasn’t arrived yet here in the Northern Hemisphere, but I visited Saudi Arabia back in October and it was definitely Summer over there!

If you are coming from a Series 3, first of all, congrats for making it last that long! But seriously, you are in for a treat.

The Series 10 is a whopping 1.7mm thinner than the Series 3, and the thinner and sleeker fit will feel, dare I say, magical.
