It will be a heck of a surprise when the watchband battery takes the wrong kind of hit and blows your hand off at the wrist. 💥

I would love a 47mm size but I'm just thinking about the price attached to it. 😩
People were wearing the clunky looking Nano as a watch for a while before there is an actual one. I can almost guarantee it will look fine for most people.
All of my Apple Watches have been the Stainless Steel model and I was going to buy the Titanium model for my next watch so I might very well end up getting an Apple Watch Pro when it does come time to replace my current SB SS S4.
SB SS S4? Its power level must be well over 9000!
Not necessarily. As the quoted „size“ only refers to the height of the Watch body, the existing straps may still fit. I mean, Apple went from 42 to 44 to 45 mm and all straps still fit; maybe they‘ll manage 47 mm as well.
47mm ? There's about 10k men and 3 women in the world that can wear this watch
Pro what? Definitely not pro athlete... we want a smaller thinner watch with less screen and maybe more buttons. as a triathlete i still have the series 3 because the other ones are too large. give me a smaller watch and i might upgrade. I dont want a bulky crap on my wrist that negatively impacts my performance.
Not just 10k but marathoners may love it, too, if it's not too heavy.
Just a minuet! It's not "Pro" until you are bullet and bomb proof like this hunk of timekeeping. Imagine, deflecting all of those AK47 rounds AND IEDs shot and hurled at you by your imaginary enemies. Com'on Apple, a Pro watch needs to project a swashbuckling image like Garmin's...../S
exactly, this is crazy. why not offer it in the 41 and 45mm sizes? 47mm is borderline clown watch size
37 comments, and I still haven’t seen a photoshop with someone wearing an iPad mini on their wrist.
C’mon MacRumors, don’t disappoint me.

Maybe Apple is going to play the 'trickle down' game and will offer the smaller versions with new design next year.
47mm is too big for my dainty man wrists. 45mm is where it tops out for me I think.
Already jealous of the better battery life I'm sure it's gonna get.

There is no way I could afford this but it reminds me that the standard 41mm Apple Watch 8 will be the best bang for my buck.
Apple adapter. $79.99What if the battery starts degrading within a month? What are you going to do then?
I bet it's because Apple can't find another way to improve battery life. They have to rely on a bigger device to contain a bigger battery while the other components stay almost constant.
Nah. Every four cycles for me. I currently have the series 6.
I see the Apple Watch as a medical emergency device that can provide lots of other useful functions. The functions are tweaked annually. I have bought a silver colored aluminum base model annually since V2 and reuse a silver colored stainless steel Milanese band.
Looking closely at my 45mm S7, the curves in the fittings on the watch bands would probably not work if the 47mm has slab sides.
An aluminum in a silver color 45mm S8 could work for me as I would reuse my silver colored stainless steel Milanese band for a third year. If there are no "real" improvements in the base model, Apple looses my purchase for a later year.
