Apple Watch X. The biggest re-design and release yet.
Apple Watch X. The biggest re-design and release yet.
TLDR; New strap attachment system means you'll need new straps. Thinner design, better battery life.
The Apple Watch X is speculated to be the most significant re-design in Apple Watch history. The most significant change will be a new proprietary strap attachment system utilising magnets which means that your previous strap collection may be rendered useless!
We will be stocking the new straps as soon as the watch is released and you can purchase them here when available.
Will the Apple Watch X retain it's square/rectangular design or a adopt a traditional circular design? The consensus appears to show they will retain it's original shape.
Other anticipated features include a resin-coated copper (RCC) motherboard, which could free up internal space for a larger battery or additional components (9to5Mac). Some sources suggest the Apple Watch X might also introduce new health features, such as blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection, though these specifics are less certain (MacRumors).
The release date is still uncertain, with possibilities ranging from late 2024 to 2025 but we anticipate this will be in line with their regular release cycle.
