Sonny Dickson shared images of purported cases for the 49mm Apple Watch Pro next to cases for the smaller Series 7 and upcoming Series 8 watches in the latest Apple Watch Pro leak. The Apple Watch Pro is larger than the Series 7 devices the company currently sells, as well as the rumored Series 8 which is expected to be announced on Wednesday.
The leaked cases and drawings from yesterday show a new button to the left of the Apple Watch Pro display, along with a new protrusion to the right housing a mic, button, and Digital Crown that appears to be better protection from accidental presses. Mark Gurman was one of the first to corroborate the drawings.

Gurman had previously stated that the Apple Watch Pro wouldn't appeal to all consumers as it's going to be bigger than most wrists 49mm is too small for some and too big for others.
I prefer larger cases for the 47mm Garmin Epix 2 because I am six feet tall and athletic. Victoria found the 41mm Fenix 7S solar to be just right for her wrists. We will have to see how the Apple Watch Pro will change when it becomes a reality.
The Apple Watch Pro and Series 8 are expected to be announced at the same time as the new iPhone 14 on Wednesday, so keep an eye out.
