New Renders Offer Best Look Yet at Alleged Apple Watch 'Pro' Ahead of Tomorrow's Event

[oneteam]

Nice! I love the Digital Crown. It looks cool. People will be able to tell that's a newly Apple Watch S8.

That's a render of the PRO, not the S8.

It's not bad looking, I like the design. But 49mm would just be too big for my liking. 47 is already stretching it.

You know what she meant.

I miss the days where the Apple Events were still a surprise. They still get us occasionally but seems we know most everything beforehand now. I guess I could stay off of the web more.

You do realize you are on a site called Macrumors right?

 

[Wags]

Will have to see what Pro means and true difference between this and base model.

Hard to determine size here, I want to see them side by size and not with the cases as we saw this morning

True (as I also don't use cases)

 

[spencereeves]

Sure Jan...

The new watch will be the most expensive Apple Watch yet, likely replacing the Apple Watch Edition at the top of the lineup...

Hold my beer.

I mean… I dont know what to say lol…. It’s like we already know everything that’s announced. Secrets haven’t been spoiled this bad in a while

Yeah, seems like more leaks than ever this year. I'm still hoping they'll have some surprises, even just some small features nobody anticipated.

A watch to take on Safari. 😆

 

[Giant_enemy_crab]

Absolutely hideous.

 

[OhMyMy]

It’s also the ugliest looking Watch they’ve ever built.

 

[Born Again]

It’s beautiful. $1k is a great deal /s

Nice face on that watch. I'm so damn used to having 8 complications on my screen so I can't go back to anything that simple, but I like it.

Nice! I love the Digital Crown. It looks cool. People will be able to tell that's a newly Apple Watch S8.

I am hoping the standard Series 8 gets some additional changes, however, if the Watch Pro isn’t overly priced, I may pull the trigger on it. 24 hours until we know!

 

[Canubis]

Not really sure what to think of the huge bump on the right side. Looks quite ugly to me and I don't really get its purpose. So why is it there?
It doesn't really protect the crown, which still can be accidentially touched on 2 sides and the button inside the bump seems even more susceptible to accidental taps as well.

So what is it for if it neither serves form nor function?

 

[canyonblue737]

I'll wait til tomorrow and get real news not fake ads.

just curious if you have notice the NAME OF THIS WEBSITE? ;-)

I love it! As a long time wearer of Casio G-Shock 51mm watches and other large watches that are rugged, the battery life will be key. I was about to pull the trigger on the Garmin Epix 2 Sapphire (~$1,000), but will wait to see if this AW8 Pro can get at least 3 days of battery life. Garmin is taking the sports and outdoors people with their lineup of great smart watches, which aren't cheap, but are round, rugged, great battery life and great functionality. The AW8 Pro is meant for people who want those functions. For those not interested, there are the standard AW series.

 

[AppleUK1]

I am usually a 'bigger screen the better' person but I don't know if I will find this a bit too much for my wrist

 

[Antes]

The way the crown and new button bulge out disturb me although , as another user has already said, it’s for easier use with gloves. Anyways If they bring back the stainless steel space black I’ll just go with that

BREAKING NEWS:
——————————-
anyone noticed that it LITERALLY says “apps like hiking and safari”

Safari is coming to the Apple Watch. Finally. Do an article on this.

What’s your favorite Watch Face?

the watch needs to be more than bigger and with more battery life. this is designed to go head to head with the Garmin Fenix 7 to the extent Apple invited speciality athletic watch reviewers like DCRainmaker and DesFit (who have reviewed this niche for a decade or more) to see the watches in person at the launch. You have to believe (or hope) there will be unique software features specific to this model. Things like compatibility with ANT+/Bluetooth bike power meters or cadence sensors, built in hiking features with full topographical maps, health tracking metrics to calculate a daily recovery score for planning workouts etc. We shall see but its always those software secrets that tend not to be spoiled…
