I think we're all going to be disappointed if they stick with the same chassis design. The Apple Watch is the last product not to get 'iPhone-5-ified' flat edges and it would look lovely with them. I really don't want a bigger one though. The current 41mm chassis is perfect for daintier wrists and the 45mm sits well within the confines of mine. A watch that is wider than your wrist just looks goofy.
Its really useful for navigating a screen that is completely obscured by a finger. It serves a valuable design purpose.
I'm not. I've been on the watch since the 3 and see no reason to really change it up, other than for the sake of change, which is silly.
It could be a bit thinner, but that's all I see as an issue.
Well, the good news is that I can now go for the "smaller" model and save myself £30...
Most of the most confidential documents of Apple concern rounded rectangles 🤔
Indeed one employ was sopped leaving Apple campus after a security guard mistook a paper notebook in the shape of a rectangle as confidential IP.
I think there is only so much they can do here with the design. Too much of a departure would cause there to be different face sizes needed
Maybe the 10 but not the X???

I actually like the current design. Would be nice if they brought back the ceramic version, I never owned one of those.
No need thanks I read it the first time and my English comprehension is flawless.
Yes the overall case size isnt as big as the Ultra where they are shrinking bezels to make the screen bigger but the trend is to go bigger and bigger which is the jist of the article so where do they draw the line?
The ultra (or a tiny bit smaller) is already too big for a lot of people.
Nah. It definitely needs to be thinner. And the current case design is quite bulbous and looks like a gadget. The screen should also go to the edge of the cover glass such that full-color backgrounds have zero black border.
Still a large bezel on it, but I guess the way the screen curves makes it appear as if it is borderless on the two far sides, when looking at it form an angle anyway.
It is thinner if you look at the digital crown and the side button compared to the case thickness. With glossy finish it will definitely look&feel even thinner than drawing, along with the bigger display. I think it will feel really nice so I am in (when there are pre-owned options on the market).

The only thing I agree on is an edge to edge screen.
You should go talk to Omega, Rolex and others about their men’s watches. You think Apple Watch is bulbous?
It’s crazy how different the word “overhaul” is in 2024. Lol.
My god, is Apple really not capable of delivering a new design already? So boring to see those rounded sides yet another year.
Could this be a new Apple Watch SE or something similar to mirror iPhone 8 / iPhone X? The new radical design might just be a Apple Watch Pro or something to that effect.
Miss the time when Apple changed the design of iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 / iPad 1 to iPad 2 ...
They should make a model that strips out a lot of the features that the iPhone you carry with you most of the time you're wearing the watch can do, and make the battery last multiple days (3 minimum). I love wearing analog watches, but won't buy an AW if I have to charge it every day.
Know what you mean
I got so tired of my circular wheels that I had square ones installed. Against car dealership advice I must say.
I told them the circular wheels were yesterday’s design, around for thousands of years. Was due a change.
Although a bit bumpy, they are cool to look at and this way I get to replace the suspension more often which is an added bonus.
Just a bit of advice… if you go fast enough they appear round and they don’t bump as much. But they are square.
Change is good man.
It's incredible how many times Apple will sell the same thing to people every year, and they still buy it.
Yeah, and this render would show the conventional model.
OTOH the quoted 11,6 mm is thicker than the current Watch (10,7 mm).
