Regarding displays, the 46 and 42mm cases offer an increase of up to 30% more screen area compared to Series 6. This means you’ll see an extra line of text on the screen and, for the 46mm Series 10, a display that’s marginally larger than that of the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra/2.
Another exciting feature is the wide-angle OLED display, providing up to 40% greater brightness when viewed from an angle.
