Would love a smaller ultra. I don't have a huge wrist so would like something a little smaller than the current model.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch 'Series X' and Apple Watch SE 3 With Larger Displays Rumored to Launch Next Year

The increase in screen size is needed as they will implement the notch just like iPhone X.
Here in Ireland we measure our journeys in kilometres, our weights in kilograms, our volumes in cubic centimetres (or metres) and our liquids in litres. Bizarrely, imperial measurements are still used for screen sizes here and worldwide — TVs (was looking at an 85” model last week myself), phones (typing this on a 6.1” iPhone), smartwatches, etc. but I’ve never quite understood why.
If I recall correctly, the iPhone X wasn’t the 9th gen iPhone. I think it was the 12th (or joint 11th?). There was: iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, (does 5C count), 6, 6S, 7, then 8 and X together.
Looks like I will be only upgrading iPhone this year. The Apple Watch has become boring. Same design and colour types
I’d love it if Apple focused on waiting until they have something new and (at least nearly) bug-free, instead of forcing out yearly hardware and software updates. Also, a lot of people don’t want their portables to keep getting bigger and bigger.
No Apple Watch designs can beat the ceramic lineup. Such a shame.
I am going to buy the 2.13” Apple Watch Ultra so hard, I’m worried that beautiful reinforced display might crack. I’m just not sure if my Series 4 will make it until then.
2024 is looking to be an expensive year for me, unless I wait for the M4 series chip to finally switch from Intel.

I'm still a bit confused at where the branding for the X-era iPhones came from.
XS - officially this was Ten S (tennis?). Or otherwise it's Ex S (excess)
XR - officially this was Ten R? (tenner?) aka slang for £10 in the UK
Maybe they should focus on battery than display size. I want a watch to run a week without charging. Put more effort into environmental friendly products and reduce charging amounts which needs energy.
If you’re Apple and you’ve run out of ideas for next years models, there’s two things you can always fall back on:
- Bump screen size a little
- Introduce new colours
I see we have a male Karen on our hands. You don’t have to buy it if you don’t like it. No one is forcing you. Sheesh
I don't think they are, the main watches are the same size (apart from ultra), the screens just got larger and the bezels smaller.
Series 9 is going to be another boring update.
Ultra 2 will just get black option that was available on the old titanium model in 2021.
Series X will hopefully get a slimmer design with larger display, current chubby frame stops it from having edge to edge display.
Probably cost £150 more for sport model 😂 while everyone else offers stainless steel for under £400.

I see what you mean but I disagree. My wrist may not be growing but my eyesight is getting worse! It’s also great to be able to fit more text at the same font size.
What I want is a larger, slimmer watch (bigger viewable area, sitting less proud of my wrist). OTOH I think the watch has now grown enough that they could introduce a third, smaller, size for people with small wrists.
