Everyone and their mother (and their brother . . . and their sister . . . and their grandpa) has an Apple Watch these days. It’s a staple accessory for most, serving as a functional fashion piece that makes everything from responding to texts to tracking your heart rate ten times easier. It’s no wonder everybody has one!
Well, almost everybody. Those who don’t have one want one. If haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, or if you still have an ancient model from years ago, there’s never been a better time for an upgrade. The new ones hover around $400, but you can snag a brand-new Series 10 Apple Watch for just $349 during Walmart’s early Black Friday sale. It’s a dream come true for early holiday shoppers, fitness gurus, corporate queens and pretty much anyone living and breathing on planet Earth.
The Series 10 is Apple’s thinnest watch with the largest display yet, offering up to 30% more screen area than any other model. The screen is brighter, easier to read and more scratch-resistant, too! It will put your current watch to shame . . . especially if you’re still rocking an analog watch.
Shiny and sleek, this watch comes in three ultra-durable titanium finishes built to withstand whatever your day — or workout — may bring. And while titanium may sound heavy, this watch is almost 20% lighter than its Series 9 predecessor. You’ll barely feel it on your wrist while you run, walk, work, cook and sleep! And unlike the older models that take forever to charge, this watch reaches 80% battery in just 30 minutes.
But Apple didn’t forget about the health fanatics when it designed this watch. It allows users to consistently monitor heart rate, respiratory health, sleep, ovulation and wrist temperature, metrics that are particularly useful for those with underlying health concerns. These detailed metrics are also useful for the fitness enthusiasts of the world (or those who aspire to be!). Advanced workout-tracking capabilities are icing on the cake!
Whether worn swimming, running, cross-training, biking, walking or to Pilates, this watch tracks everything from distance and pace to max heart rate, depth, stride length, elevation and location. The built-in GPS is ideal for the trails, but also for emergency purposes. Other safety features include fall detection, crash detection and heart rate change notifications, among many others.
There are two screen sizes and three colors to choose from, each with a different band color. All are on sale, so grab one for yourself — and one for your watchless bestie, aunt or neighbor. You’ll thank Us come December when your holiday shopping is done!
