Alleged First Look at Apple Watch X / Series 10 With 2-Inch Display

It's incredible how many times Apple will sell the same thing to people every year, and they still buy it.

Most people who buy watches in a lot of the more saturated markets are just buying to replace an older worn out watch… and you don’t have to buy every year. I bought first gen, then fourth and now considering new watch in 2 years.

Apple also sell battery replacements for the watch at decent prices too.

Does anyone expect a very big change on an all screen device anymore? What can even be done? The ultra was the biggest change
 
I’m in the camp that thinks change for change’s sake is pointless at best. I think the general design of the watch is great, has always been great, and making major changes isn’t necessary unless they come with some great new improvements. I’d rather be able to keep using all my bands than have some new flat design that just looks different.

I do agree that making them bigger and bigger sucks though. I went from a 42mm watch that looked fine to a 45mm now and maybe 46 when I upgrade? I think it’s a bit much for the new small watch to be the same size as the original big watch. If they’re stretching the battery out then ok, but otherwise just give me another 45mm case and make the bezels smaller to increase screen size.

New connector must be required for blood pressure and other upcoming technologies.

The screen is very large and the watch is thick. Looks like an Ultra to me. We can't see the action button from these angles.

Interesting. Same strap connector?

Seems to be. Can’t see Apple changing that. Could you imagine how pissed people would be losing their collections of bands? I would be at least. I’ve spent quite a bit of money on them.

This probably be the standard model and then there will hopefully be the AW X model. Just like how they did iPhone 8 Series and iPhone X. 🤔

No, because iPhone X represented the high-end that later was segmented into Pro and Pro Max. iPhones 8 and 8 Plus became the mid-tier that morphed into XR. From Xr to 11-13. And finally from 13 to 14/14 Plus and then 15/15 Plus.

Y'all are doing some wishful thinking assuming Watch X is going to be a big upgrade all around:

Since segmenting Watch into three tiers, Watch SE, Series 8-9, and Ultra, Apple is treating the mid-tier $399 Series Watch exactly like it treats the mid-tier iPhones, iPads Air, and MacBooks Air:

Slimmer, sleeker and more colorful designs and finishes compared to the high-end options, with good enough specs and features to meet most buyers needs.

But the mid-tier options will never get as frequent or valuable spec upgrades as the high-end options.

Apple Watch Ultra is the MacBook Pro/iPhone Pro Max/AirPods Pro 2 of the Apple Watch line-up.

Apple Watch X or Series 10 will get a new chassis and a good bit of the improvements and specs that were introduced with Ultra and Ultra 2. But its not going to trump Ultra on value/$ when considering display, battery life, etc.

Think of the changes from mid-tier iPhone 12/13/14 to mid-tier iPhone 15 -Those are the level of improvements and changes (or lack thereof) you can expect from Series 7/8/9 to Series 10.

The big specs and changes from one model to the next is only ever going to happen for Apple Watch Ultra. Ultra 3 or 4 is going to be a massive improvement over the previous model.

I am not going to lie, i am rather disappointed. I wanted a big change just as iPhone X was.

I thought this might get me excited for the Apple Watch again but does not seem like that’ll happen for a while.

The watch really does not need a yearly release cycle.

Your disappointment because of a rumor? LOL

Thought the x was supposed to have a squared design. Yea the cad design shown is trite considering it literally looks every Apple Watch before it.

A square Apple Watch would not be as ergonomic… I’ve just never liked the sharp corners on their devices. The only place I like sharp corners is on displays 😆
 
Apple Watch X

We are so excited to unveil Apple Watch X

We have removed the battery and reduced the thickness to 2 mm

We are so excited to see what you do with Apple X.

After purchasing….

We were hoping to tell the time at least… but we then discovered it was not joke, the battery had indeed been removed. The always on display turned out to be a sticker. 🥴
 
The regular AW should have an action button.

A large number of people use it for fitness and active sports. And certainly not everyone requires an Ultra.
