I got the Apple Watch Series 10 42 mm GPS+Cellular Aluminum in October of this year. I thought I'd post a review as its my first Apple Watch.
It looks really good compared to the previous models. I enjoy the slimmer design, and how it fits under my sleeve easier. I got the silver finish, and two bands: a Denim sport band and a Ink sport loop. Both bands feel high quality and math my outfits good.
The battery life is great. I can easily go a full day without putting it on the charger, much more than the 18 hours Apple promised in marketing. I charge it at 8pm, at at the time of writing this review (9:34 am), I still have 70% battery.
The always-on display is nice, because I hate having to flick my wrist in front of my face to see the time, like I had to do with a Fitbit I had a few years prior. Keeping the display on doesn't impact battery life either. WatchOS in general is okay, it could definitely use some improvements. Namely, why isn't there a "Battery" app on it? Like to display the battery of your phone, airpods, and MacBook? That would be very convenient.
The health tracking is good, I like the vitals app a lot. It alerted me that my vitals were screwed up the night after I got my flu shot. The sleep tracking is also mostly accurate.
Despite it being rather expensive (I paid $700+ after tax) it was worth it. I would highly recommend visiting an Apple Store to make your purchase, so you can try on the different bands and screen sizes.
TL;DR The Apple Watch Series 10 is a great watch. As a first time Watch buyer I recommend it. It is a huge upgrade compared to a FitBit or similar watches/health trackers.
