Perhaps it's to lessen the chance of accidentally manipulating the crown during activities.

Yes it will.I have a stupid question for anyone who owns an Apple Watch. Is it bi-directional. Meaning I can wear it on either wrist and have it orient properly.
Cause I notice that the crown is on the right hand side of the watch. If I wear it on my right wrist so that the crown is on the left will the watch be upside down....or orient itself correctly for me being left handed?
Thanks for anyone's info. I can live in a right handed world, Just prefer not to.

I think it'll sell out quick. Don't let the users here or really on any Apple forum or subreddit make you think one way or another. They are a very small percentage of the Apple customer base and the majority of them just complain about Apple.
Thank you for the reply only reason why I’ve been following this thread for the past few hours.
I ask cause I’ve been using only battery minimal watch faces lately.
Yeah you can choose the orientation so the Watch works accordingly on either wrist.I have a stupid question for anyone who owns an Apple Watch. Is it bi-directional. Meaning I can wear it on either wrist and have it orient properly.

I like the look. I guess I'm in the minority here but I like the chunkier look to my watches. Kind of wished they made these in larger screens TBH. That price tag though is a worrisome. I'm getting the 14 Pro and need a new watch as well. Looks like Apple card will be getting some work here in a little bit.
If the titanium frame protects the watch face from falls when I’m drunk off my ass then I’m sold!
At least you can pay it out over a long period of time with 0% interest if you use the Apple Card.
When they said "Pro", this is what they meant
Rumors say it is only coming in one way, titanium but I guess nobody really knows until tomorrow.
I mean I know some watches are even bigger than 49mm, but 49mm is already a HUGE watch even by modern standards. Further just compare for a second the Garmin Fenix 7 (47mm, best selling “high end $1k” sports/smart watch)… that has a 1.3 inch screen. The Garmin Fenix 7X at a ridiculous 51mm has a 1.4 inch screen. This new Apple Watch Pro at 49mm of case size has a 1.99 inch screen because of the tiny bezels! The screen is monstrous even compared to the larger competition! On anyones wrist this will look like a computer, on smaller wrists it might as well be a TV. Needless to say I think at this size it will be a very, very unique look.
Thanks for letting me know the watch is bidirectional. I've kinda adapted into a right hand world.

For future reference, you go to the Watch app on your phone, then general and choose "Watch orientation". there you can set it to left or right wrist.Thanks for letting me know the watch is bidirectional. I've kinda adapted into a right hand world.

I’m not yet convinced. Definitely gonna wait out until December to see how people’s experiences are.
I’ve always thought these Apple-esque mockups are fun. I remember some pretty cool ones before the original iPhone released.
