All Apple Watch Models
Please note that this A3002 Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS+Cellular, China, 42 mm) model is compatible with LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 39, 40, 41, and 66 as well as UMTS 2100 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, 850 MHz, and 900 MHz. It is not compatible with LTE bands 12 (700 MHz), 13 (700c MHz), 14 (700 PS), and 17 (700b MHz). It is sold only in mainland China. Note that when first announced, Apple listed this model as also for Hong Kong and Macao, but this was incorrect; Hong Kong and Macao sell a version of the "regular" cellular model (A3001) and it cannot be activated in mainland China. This A3002 model includes a WPT compliant charging cable that does not support fast charging.
All Apple Watch Series 10 models are 10% thinner and at least 10% lighter than their predecessors, but have a new processor, a larger display with a wider viewing angle and a faster refresh rate as well as faster charging, new depth and temperature sensors, improved voice isolation, and new case finish and material options.
All cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 10 models, including this one, are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone, but it still is intended to be used with an iPhone XS or later or iPhone SE 2 or later running iOS 18 or later for some functions.
All Apple Watch Series 10 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display. This particular Apple Watch Series 10, the Cellular (China) model in the 42 mm size, features a 374x446 "Always-On Retina" wide angle LTPO3 OLED screen with a minimum of 1 nit of brightness and a maximum of 2000 nits of brightness, and either an aluminum case with Ion-X glass covering the display or a titanium case with "Sapphire" crystal covering the display. Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall in modest use.
For this model, there are three aluminum body options -- brushed Silver (pictured, left) and "Rose Gold" as well as polished, shiny "Jet Black" -- and three titanium body options -- polished, shiny warm gray "Natural", Gold (pictured, right), and dark gray "Slate". A variety of bundled bands in addition to a wide range of additional watch bands are available from Apple via customization, as well.
