Alleged First Look at Apple Watch X / Series 10 With 2-Inch Display

[MacRumors]

Apple is rumored to be planning a revamp of the Apple Watch for the device's tenth anniversary, and 91mobiles claims to have sourced CAD renders of what could be the "Apple Watch X" or Apple Watch Series 10 from industry insiders.

The site claims that the renders are of a "larger" model featuring a 2-inch display. The current Apple Watch Series 9 has a 1.7-inch display, while the Apple Watch Ultra has a display size of 1.93-inches, so this would be the biggest screen on an Apple Watch so far.

That said, its dimensions are said to measure roughly 46 x 39.7 x 11.6mm, which would make it bigger overall than the Series 9 but smaller than the Ultra. Otherwise, the renders suggest a design similar to the Series 9, with a Digital Crown and Side button, and a square display.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said a significantly overhauled "Apple Watch X" would launch in either 2024 or 2025, to mark the tenth anniversary of the device, so this could be the anniversary device, or it could be the Apple Watch Series 10. The original Apple Watch was announced in September 2014 and released in April 2015.

Gurman said the "Apple Watch X" would be equipped with a thinner case. The Bloomberg reporter also said it would potentially have a magnetic band attachment system, although there's no evidence of that in the renders.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently claimed that Apple Watch Series 10 will be thinner and come in larger screen sizes than previous models. Kuo said the screen size options on the next-generation Apple Watch will increase from 41mm to 45mm, and from 45mm to 49mm, while being encased in a thinner design. For reference, the Apple Watch Ultra has a 49mm case.

It's unclear at this point whether the CAD renders are accurate, but either way Apple typically launches new Apple Watch models around September alongside its latest iPhone lineup. Apple is said to be planning to incorporate blood pressure monitoring this year, with the watch able to detect hypertension, while sleep apnea detection is also said to be coming to the 2024 Apple Watch model.

Interesting. Same strap connector?

 

[HeavenDynamic]

Looks like my Series 9
And my Series 8
And my Series 4

91mobiles is trolling everybody.

I am not going to lie, i am rather disappointed. I wanted a big change just as iPhone X was.

I thought this might get me excited for the Apple Watch again but does not seem like that’ll happen for a while.

The watch really does not need a yearly release cycle.

Surely the constant striving to make displays bigger and bigger only applies to phones, iPads, desktops, and macbooks...

A watch cant just keep growing theres only so big a screen can be before it looks ridiculous and would be too big for most people's wrists.
The Ultra is seen as 'very big' and not everyone can pull it off - but to go bigger still?

Price increasing incoming 🤑 what is the price gap from Series 9 to Ultra 2 right now? Probably leaves some room

lol no

Not sure why this made it to publishing? There is ZERO chance this is the X. Maybe the 10, or SE, but not the X

 

[Fuzzball84]

If it’s not 4 inch I’m out. Why can’t they just put a decent screen on Apple Watch. The size is far too small to scroll through websites etc

4 inch for smaller watch and 12 inch for larger and 16 inch for Ultra, I’d say.

🥴

 

[iamyash]

This probably be the standard model and then there will hopefully be the AW X model. Just like how they did iPhone 8 Series and iPhone X. 🤔

 

[Smittywerben]

Do we really need a bigger display + thinner body on a watch that already has a miserable battery life (18 hours) ?

 

[maverick808]

Read the article again 😉

If the article is correct it is getting bigger though, not as big as the Ultra, but regardless it is still going to be bigger than the previous non-Ultra version.

STOP MAKING EVERYTHING BIGGER

 

[WarmWinterHat]

As long as they keep the bands, I'm good. My s6 battery is getting weak on long runs and I don't want to swap out all my bands.

If they change the band system, I'll get a s9 and hold on to it for as long as possible.

Not sure why this made it to publishing? There is ZERO chance this is the X. Maybe the 10, or SE, but not the X

There might not even be an X model.

STOP MAKING EVERYTHING BIGGER

We won’t be happy until Apple Watch is 20 inch, iPhone 40 inch and iPad 60 inch. Then iPad Pro should be 120 inch

I think these will be practical upper limits. You can probably just about use a truck to move a 120 inch iPad.

they might launch the “X” to introduce the new design along the regular one this year at a higher price point before the design becomes the norm next year. Just as they have done with the iPhone X along the regular iPhone 8 introduction back in the day. Gives them an excuse to charge more for it as well.

 

[bookcase]

I'm not really seeing how those renders are different than my S9.

 

[iamgalt]

The new Apple Watch.

In a shocking twist of fate, 91mobiles releases pictures of a heavily rounded rectangle.

 

[neuropsychguy]

Looks like my Series 9
And my Series 8
And my Series 4

And that’s a great thing.

 

[Fuzzball84]

To be honest. The Apple Watch as it is is near perfect for most people. It’s small, unobtrusive, clean, no “sharp edges. This is why it’s remained so similar for so long. They had the design right from gen 1. Only the screen required any changes. A larger screen in the same frame, a larger battery. I don’t feel it needs to be any thinner… I’d rather have extra battery capacity.

He obviously has the ultra edition

Define “overhaul”.
