Apple Watch Series 10 will make its debut next week alongside the iPhone 16 series. Apple traditionally unveils new iPhone and Apple Watch models during its September event. However, this year's event marks the 10th anniversary of Apple's first smartwatch launch, and the company may introduce a major update to celebrate.

This new model is expected to bring several upgrades, including larger displays, a more powerful chip, and various enhancements.  Let's take a look at what to expect from the forthcoming Apple Watch.

Upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 will feature larger displays. The smaller model will see an upsize from 41mm to 45mm, while the larger model will increase in size from 45mm to 49mm.
