Alleged 49mm Apple Watch Pro Case Size Compared to Series 7/8 Models in New Images

[MacRumors]

With the rumored Apple Watch Pro expected to be larger than the Apple Watch Series 7 and the rest of the upcoming Series 8 models, leaker Sonny Dickson has shared new images offering an excellent size comparison of the new lineup.

According to Dickson's sources, the Pro model will have a 49mm case size – larger than an earlier rumor suggesting between 47mm and 48mm. For comparison, the Apple Watch Series 7 is available in 41mm and 45mm case sizes, which is also expected to be mirrored in the standard Series 8 models with identical designs.

Combined with the flat display, a larger 49mm case size for the Apple Watch Pro could result in an even bigger screen size than the 1.99-inches initially reported, and could even turn out to be as large as 2 inches or more, easily making it the largest Apple Watch display yet seen.

Whatever the Apple Watch Pro display size turns out to be, it will compare to 1.691-inches on the 41mm and 1.901-inches on the 45mm ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌, offering substantially more screen real estate for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to display more relevant stats.

On Monday, 91Mobiles shared CAD images of the Apple Watch Pro's new design and also claimed the same 49mm case size. The images confirmed the inclusion of a new physical button on the left side of the redesigned watch, a completely flat screen, and a protrusion housing the Digital Crown and Side button.

Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman later corroborated the validity of the design shown in the CAD images. Gurman previously said that the Apple Watch "Pro" will feature a significantly larger display that will likely "be bigger than most wrists." It will also have a larger battery, along with a low-power mode, and a rugged titanium casing.

The new Pro model will sit at the top of the Apple Watch lineup, with pricing expected to fall in the $900 to $1,000 price bracket. Apple is expected to announce the all-new Apple Watch "Pro" during an event on Wednesday, September 7. The new high-end Apple Watch will join the new Apple Watch Series 8 and an updated, possibly more affordable Apple Watch SE in the lineup.

that pro is already too big to be an also fashion gadget, its purely functional device now, probably as intended

 

[Seoras]

Jobs would have flipped out at them adding an extra button to the Apple Watch. I can see Ive not being happy at this and the recent parting of ways with Love From and Apple might be him distancing himself from what looks like the fall of product design within Apple and the rise of product marketing. Which effectively makes Apple no different from anyone else. Shame...

 

[calstanford]

With my thin arms I'll be sticking with the 41. Just making something wearable bigger isn't doing it for me.

 

[tamago84]

oof i can't imagine wearing that on my wrist. ugh

 

[kanki1985]

49mm is close to 2inches, think of it the original iphone had a screen that was just 3.5inches diag.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Wow, 49mm Apple Watch. Dang! that is massive. Next year... Apple Watch Pro Max Version?

 

[Mr. Dee]

There has got to be a FaceTime camera in there somewhere.

 

[HappyDude20]

Such a large display DESERVES a much better operating system.

If this Pro watch has the same watchOS as the Series 4 then 👎

 

[symphony]

I wanna see this on the most petite wrist, it might be comical

 

[laurieballard]

That does seem big for a watch, anything above 42mm looks huge on my wrist.

Even the larger Chronograph type watches are around the 45mm mark.

Lets wait and see, maybe it won't look as big as it sounds its going to.

I have pretty large wrists and even the 45mm looked comical on it. I can't imagine the new one 😵‍💫

iPhone Brick Pro. Apple Watch Brick Pro.

If really it´s a 49mm, I don´t care if the put 12 butons in it, or a telescope antenna.

Comical price, too.

Jony Ive: “The Apple Watch is part of my life now and it’s hard to live without it, but the one watch that I do find myself admiring is my Nautilus. It's a bizarre, bizarre object that I have huge affection for. The more you look at it, you struggle with comprehension of its geometry. I do not wear it as much anymore, but it’s a beautiful watch, I think.”

This is a competitor to the Garmin Enduro 2. The people who want these don't give a flying hoot that it looks big on their wrists. They want the functions. The battery lasts for days while the features go continuously not just periodically and it has solar charging. Serious athletes use Garmin. Long distance racers use Garmin. This must burn Apple's butt. So now they are going for it.

 

[FelixTheShepherd]

49mm lmao no thanks, I have a 47mm Garmin and that thing is huge already, imagine 49mm

 

[syklee26]

Next year Apple will introduce Apple Watch Pro Max.

 

[Pilot Jones]

49mm. Apple is gonna have you all wearing dinner plates on your wrist 😆

 

[Abstract]

… could result in an even bigger screen size than the 1.99-inches initially reported, and could even turn out to be as large as 2 inches or more…

A ridiculous thing to point out. 😂

What, as opposed to 1.999-inches?

 

[iPadified]

49 mm? Is there an option to buy a larger wrist as well?

 

[Maetzle]

I hope we still get a regular Series 8 in Titanium, but if we don‘t at least I‘ll save money.

 

[singularity0993]

Apple Dictionary: Pro = LARGE

 

[WiiDSmoker]

Yup I’m in. Day 1
