These are beefy digital timepieces intended for rugged outdoors and climbing Mount Everest.
I’ve never understood why people who are not great outdoors people wear them.

And forget about sleeping with them.
It’s impossible unless you’re able to sleep with a rock under your gut.
There’s a new trend in the smartwatch game, though: big, thin, and light.

For me, it started with the 45mmGoogle Pixel Watch 3.
For such a pretty watch, it wasn’t always comfortable to wear.
I found that I could sleep with this watch and considered putting aside myApple Watch Series 9for good.

Then along came theApple Watch Series 1046mm.
I like a big screen, especially one that uses wide-angleOLEDfor way better off-axis viewing.
Still, I won’t wear it if it’s uncomfortable or cumbersome.

The Apple Watch Series 10, however, pulls off a rather surprising feat.
Despite the screen size, the watch (without the band) weighs 35.3g.
The wild thing about that is the 45mm Apple Watch Series 9 in aluminum weighed 51.5 grams.

This is a difference I can feel.
It’s not just the weight, though.
At 9.7mm thick, the watch is a full millimeter thinner than the last Apple Watch.

This is all-day comfort and, in my experience, sleep-friendly comfort, too.
Usually, the cell and GPS models would be a tad heavier than the GPS-only counterparts.
Part of that may be because Apple re-engineered the chassis build.

How the watch feels on your wrist will define how you feel about it.
