Orders are open - I've ordered mine.I'll probably get that JetBlack as soon as orders are opened...
Yup was about to write the same.
Here is the link for full spec. Of course could not write 9 instead of 10 in link as it’s discontinued every year 🤦♂️

So I have three USB-c plugs, two on my 27 inch iMac, one on my iPad Pro Plug. Are these capable of charging this watch at full speed? Do I need to buy a Apple charger or can I just get something handy from Anker that costs half as much but provides the same power output?
So odd! The rumors were indicating one size, and they only talked about one size, so it made sense to presume. Good there is a smaller size.
Here's the S9 tech specs - Apple keeps them for all (most?) watches in their Support section.Yup was about to write the same.

glad aapl didnt go the color "battleship grey" that all new cars seem to be getting
Exactly, I saw the same thing. It's a little odd. I wonder if they just made a mistake somewhere. Unless the crown weighs less on the one with the red ring... which is also missing from the images, but I think this was also the case for the previous launch. I think they added the red ring images after.
I'm only seeing three options for the Titanium Apple Watch: Natural, Gold, and Slate.
Likewise in the "Watch Studio", these are the only available options.
You have to switch over to the Hermés edition in order to find the Silver option.
Or am I looking in the wrong place?
Apologies, when it comes to the titanium version you are correct. Aluminum is still available in Silver.
No action button on the S10 . And don't like the size and heft of the U2.
. And don't like the size and heft of the U2.I think Apple's website images of the natural may not really represent the actual color.
For example look at DCRainmaker's video showing the three titanium models at 7:28
Is the bezel on the S10 bigger than on S9?
Currently have a space gray S4 and this year could be the year for a new one. Glad they stopped the midnight/starlight nonsense (I much prefer a more neutral color), but I’m concerned about the jet black finish…

A decent upgrade for anyone with an S5 or earlier. First decent update in many years. At least Apple is doing something.
I'm feeling more in line with what you are saying here today. My sister that is not a "sportsperson" got the original ultra and LOVES it. But, she isn't a "sportsperson" she just likes the big display. She's also petite, but it works for her and she doesn't complain about it being too large or heavy.
On apple's website today I compared my existing 7, the 10 and the Ultra 2. Yeah, the differences are minor except for the size and weight of the ultra. The quoted battery life is the same for the 7 and 10, my 7 is nearly 3 years old with 83% battery life. The first year I only charged it while in the shower, the second year I only charged it while getting ready for work, now I'm often charging it for 15-30 minutes in the middle of the day while I'm stationary at my work computer AND while getting ready for work each day. So I have concerns with going for the 10 vs the ultra for battery reasons alone. I also like the red display on the ultra, granted one should be able to create something similar on the 10.
Not sure if I already stated this, but I sleep with mine on, and while the 10 would be similar as far as size and weight, sure its a bit slimmer, the ultra would be the opposite direction, larger and heavier. Not sure if it would bother me in my sleep or not.
I'm going to wait it out, first to see what people say the differences are internally. I may just rock this 7 another year and wait for Ultra 3.
DCRainmaker has a good photo in his hands-on article here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/09/apple-watch-series-10-hands-on-details.html
To my eye it seems the bezel under the crustal is similar size or maybe slightly bigger, but is offset by a larger crystal and less visible watch casing.
My guess is that in real world usage nobody but the most persnickety would notice the difference beyond a side-by-side comparison.
Edit: found the S9 display sizes in the comparison tool and the 46mm S10 display is 5.2% bigger (area) than 45mm S9, and 6.7% bigger for the 42mm watch. 46mm display also slightly larger than the Ultra2. See https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/?modelList=watch-series-9,watch-series-10,watch-ultra-2
Strictly speaking it's possible the bezel is larger, but IMHO that would be immaterial given the display is larger.

Thanks, that’s the kind of picture I was looking for! The proportions of the S10 will need some getting used to.
Will probably wait a little bit to hear about the jet black finish’s durability
