Mark Gurman reported that Apple is working on an "extreme sports" version of the Apple Watch that will have a larger screen and a metal case.
Aimed at people who experience more extreme conditions when wearing their Apple Watches, the new device will be Apple's biggest to date. The current Apple Watch Series 7 and the planned Apple Watch Series 8 have a 1.9-inch diagonal screen.
The Apple Watch Series 7 has a screen area of 45mm and a resolution of 410 x 500. Gurman thinks that Apple might use the extra display area to provide more fitness metrics on the Apple Watch.
There is no word on what Apple will call this new watch but it will include improved impact resistance and protection in the form of a metal material that is stronger than aluminum It's going to have a larger battery to accommodate longer workouts, and it's also going to have a shatter- resistant screen.
The sport-focused version of the Apple Watch will be sold alongside the standard Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch SE, which is expected to see a refresh in 2022. The Apple Watch sport edition will function the same as other Apple Watches and will have the same features as the Series 8.
There are rumors that the Apple Watch Series 8 will feature an S8 chip that is similar to the S7 and the S6 before that, as well as an updated low power mode and new health features. We have an Apple Watch Series 8 guide to help you learn more about the device.
