The Apple Watch Series 10 receives some of the most notable upgrades the smartwatch lineup has seen in recent times, and we now know exactly how much it costs here in Malaysia. Well, just like the iPhone 16 series, the Series 10 watches are actually more affordable on our shores.

Previously starting at RM1,899 for the 41mm version, the Apple Watch Series 10 retails from only RM1,799 for the (now upsized) 42mm base variant; that is a RM100 price drop for a brand new model of the smartwatch. As for the larger 46mm Series 10, it starts at RM1,949 versus the 45mm Series 9’s RM2,049 starting price.

If you want the brand new titanium Series 10 with a sapphire crystal display, well, that will set you back a cool RM3,299 or RM3,549 for the 42mm and 46mm models respectively.

Measuring 9.7mm thin, the Apple Watch Series 10 is said to be almost 10% thinner than Series 9; the new titanium option is also about 20% lighter. Oh, the wide-angle OLED display is also larger and brighter now, allowing the smartwatch to show an extra line of text onscreen.

Under the hood of the Series 10 is a new S10 chip with a four-core neural engine. It also has a polished aluminium finish now, a metal back, the ability to detect sleep apnea, and a new charging coil design to enable faster charging. According to Apple, 30 minutes of charging is enough to juice up the battery to 80%.

To recap, the Apple Watch Series 10 starts at RM1,799 in Malaysia. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on the local availability of the new smartwatches, which is curious given that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 can already be pre-ordered now with Malaysian availability set for 20 September next week.
