In three days, Apple will announce a new Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch
Pro, and Apple Watch SE 2. In his Power On newsletter, Bloombergs Mark
Gurman shares the latest tidbits about these new Watches ahead of the iPhone
14 event on Wednesday.
While many features have been rumored over this year regarding these three
Watches, Gurman is bringing his latest piece of information about the Apple
Watches. Heres what you need to know:
Apple Watch Series 8: This Watch will bring a new body-temperature
sensor, as already covered, and womens health features related to
fertility;
Apple Watch SE 2: This Watch will remain with the same look as its first
generation, but will see an upgrade from the S5 chip to the S8 chip which
is expected to have lots of similarities with the S6 and S7 processors.
For the Apple Watch Pro, Bloombergs journalist has the most amount of
information. Apart from the S8 chip, body temperature sensor, and womens
health feature, this high-end, rugged Watch will be aimed at heavy-duty
athletes like mountain bikers, hikers, and marathon runners.
With a noticeably larger display, it will feature redesigned watch faces,
more fitness and health-tracking statistics, a larger battery, and the
rumored low-power mode.
Gurman says this device probably wont appeal to all consumers, as its
going to be bigger than most wrists. About the retro compatibility
controversy, the journalist doubles on the fact that given the larger size,
older Apple Watch bands may not look flush with the device, but the new case
is designed so existing bands can still work.
The journalist also talks about Garmins competitiveness and price point:
The device should appeal to people whove coveted the also-large Garmin
offerings. Apple has been working on this new watch for a while (
) I expect
this watch to come in at least $900 to $1,000, topping the current Apple
Watch Edition. For comparison, Garmins high-end watches cost between $1,000
and $1,500.
Amazfit also competes in this category, though generally at lower prices.
