This is what the first reviews say

We still have to wait until Friday for our new iPhones and Apple Watches, but selected media representatives have already been able to get a first impression. After the fourth generation AirPods were released yesterday and received a very positive response, today it's the turn of the Apple Watch Series 10.

Its design, processor and features will continue to perform well for years to come. (Read review)
