2024 Apple Watch to Feature New Look, Blood Pressure Monitoring and Sleep Apnea Detection

Diabetics control would be a really huge improve.
Look elsewhere. Invasive CGMs from Abbott and Dexcom last 10-14 days... and the little mentioned Eversense all have skeptical accuracy within 20%. An answer off your wrist in a non-invasive way seems far off. We're still years from the Dexcom CEO mentioning direct to Apple Watch readings would be coming soon.

But if you do use Abbott or Dexcom, combine it with a few apps. Endobits app can give you audible warnings (even if watch is in silent mode) if it expects a high reading within a half hour. There's a few other apps like Sugarmate and Sweet Dreams that can get your reading on your watch face as an always refreshed complication, or on your car dash through Carplay and a calendar entry refreshed every five minutes.
 
Really cool, probably the major features the current Apple Watch are missing for me are blood pressure / glucose monitoring and sleep apnea tracking. I hope Apple can integrate MicroLED into the next Apple Watch or at least Ultra Versions, that would make the 10th Anniversary release very special.
 
I hope Apple goes a different direction with the Apple Watch. I find it relatively uncomfortable. I can go weeks without putting it on(since I had to stop running due to spinal damage). I want profiles and I want a simple toggle between connected devices, no more guessing what I’m connected to.
 
I am not convinced. We have heard this news before.
The standard watch has been on a 3 generation design cycle from the start though so it is due. I wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking, but it will at least be a tweak to the design that has been used for the Series 7, 8 & 9. Whether that means another screen size change, or perhaps adoption of some of the Ultra design cues.

It is certainly possible. If it does happen, I would be curious to see whether or not the current watch band set up is impacted.
 
Ha well alright then sounds like you’ve got a pretty good idea about it. Maybe this will be easier than temperature sensing. Since you seem educated on the subject, what about that? How’s the wrist for getting an idea of actual body temperature?
A wrist is fairly thin, unlike a head. Because of that, the temperature being measured would be too easily influenced by the air outside. One thing that you could do to help would be to use two thermometers. The first measures your wrist. The second measures the outside temperature. The problem with that is, when you get cold, your arteries tend to restrict, keeping more of your body heat in your core. The two thermometer solution helps. I think Apple currently is using it. The benefit while real is limited. The better solution is for the watch to measure your temperature in your head. How would you do that? Earpods. I think Apple is already going with this solution too.
