Choosing between these smartwatches comes down to size and price. Here's what we recommend with the next generation looming.
The Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2 are two of the best smartwatches available in 2025. Yet, it’s fair to feel stuck when picking between them.
Is the Ultra 2 worth nearly double the money of a standard Series 10? Which is the better size for your wrist? These are common questions to consider.
However, after over six months of comparing these smartwatches, we think it’s actually a relatively easy decision. If you can pay the extra for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, do it. As long as it’s not too big or heavy on your wrist, the battery life alone is a substantial upgrade that justifies the extra outlay.
Below, we’ll get into the other reasons why the Ultra 2 is a better fit for most people—and more examples of when the Series 10 is the right pick. We’ll also touch on how to navigate the rumored impending new generations of each of these devices.
