Agree. 47mm isn’t big if it’s the same size as the 45mm.

'Apple Watch Pro' Rumored to Feature Larger 47mm Case Size With Flat Display

I would love a 47 mm version😍 My current 44 mm SE is almost to small for my wrist.
Yep for a very thin wrist, but not everyone has a very thin wrist.
Yeah, just look at how that backfired when they introduced the iPad Pro and iPhone Pro.
Exactly.
This is just going to be another big seller for Apple. Already looking forward to buying mine.
How many people imagined a 6.7” iPhone would be more popular than the 3.5” original size? The size increase made it more useable. A larger Watch screen would make it more useable. I’m all for it — sign me up! I hope they push it further out than 47mm.
It is more than the size. The iPhone 13 and 13 Pro are the same size for example.
Exactly. People are exaggerating the size of this before even seeing it.
YOLO

Supply dependent. Sorry in advance, if I help the delay 😂😂
It’s not that simple - if it was, why would you buy an iPhone as opposed to an iPad mini cellular to be your daily driver?
There is a balance to be found, and that is individual. I’m a guy, but I still bought the smaller Apple Watch 7, because my wrists are fairly narrow. People are different. Usage too differs between individuals. A bigger watch would for me make it even more ungainly, protrude more, and make it more likely to get damaged. And I don’t do anything with it that would benefit from it being larger - more reliable tapping detection however…. or simply not having to be restarted in order to remember what it’s supposed to be doing when swiped on the default screen.
Totally depends on usage.
I’ve had every watch except the 5, and even disabling background refresh and AOD and setting brightness to low, I definitely cannot get more than 24 hr ever.
I have only ever had the GPS model and I track my exercise with an average of 15 minutes daily.
I have to speed charge my watch at bed time with the new Apple fast charger and sometimes fall asleep before it’s topped off and ready to track my sleep.
Point being, the battery life is not adequate at all for me since the series 6 and I’m not a “power user” by any stretch.
I was hoping to see last year’s update be more in line with the iPhone 13 design elements; flat sides, flat face.
Perhaps this year they’ll deliver.
I always suspected the COVID insanity was the reason for continuing the rounded off design last year.

I solve the battery problem by having 2. I always have the latest model and keep the previous years to sleep in.
That’s what I do, but my sleeping watch is an older series 5. I think having a second one is the only way to really make the battery life a non-issue.
The cellular is a good point. I only have wifi version. Does cellular use battery even if the Watch is tethered to phone and using its cell connection?
If they make a bigger watch I'll definitely get it, especially if it's not much thicker. Otherwise I'm happy with my 6.
I don‘t know if this is supposed to be a joke but if the „Pro“ will actually be a 47 mm Watch, it will be exactly 2 mm bigger. The size Apple quotes is the length of the Watch body, not the screen size.
I really hope that there’s something exciting for people who can’t pull of a huge watch. I’ve worn a watch my whole life and was in to higher end watches before the Apple Watch.
Personally, I’ve always been opposed to the huge Watch trend. In my opinion, most people can’t pull it off without it looking bad. I doubt I’ll be interested in it. I’m sure plenty will be though. There are already a lot of people wearing the 45mm that really should be wearing the 41mm.
I also hope titanium isn’t only available to the largest Apple Watch model.

The times it doesn’t last 24 hours, is it tethered to iPhone, or just you wearing watch without phone around?
Also, are we talking it goes from 100% to 0% in less than 24 hours?
This will be ideal for professional time checkers like me
Maybe this year we get the Apple Watch Pro and next year we get the Apple Watch Pro Max that is even bigger 🤗
