Apple Watch 8 Pro Rugged Smartwatch To Use Titanium Chassis

We know that this year Cupertino-based Apple will announce three new smartwatches. Apart from the vanilla Apple Watch 8, there will also be the Apple Watch SE and a rugged smartwatch, namely the Apple Watch 8 Pro.

However, if the first two will still continue using Apple’s familiar design, the Apple Watch 8 Pro (or simply the Apple Watch Pro) will adopt a new design. We know that Apple doesn’t like to make many changes in its product design. And this is also true for smartwatches. But a rugged smartwatch has quite different requirements. So the company has to make some major modifications. Apart from the changes that will make the watch rugged, it will come with a rectangular shape. Plus, it won’t have flat sides. Though previously, we have heard the opposite, now, Bloomberg proves this.

Besides, we’ve already heard that the Apple Watch 8 Pro will be much bigger. When saying this, we mean its body will be bigger, but the display will differ from other models by 7% only. What’s more important, the screen will be more shatter-resistant than current Watches. The chassis is said to be made out of durable, lightweight titanium. Well, we guess the watch will come with a large body not only for hosting various sensors but also a bigger battery.

As Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported, the Apple Watch Pro will boast a body temperature sensor. Besides, Apple is working on a blood pressure sensor for future models. But we guess they will come in 2025 or thereabouts.

The rugged Apple Watch 8 Pro should be announced in the fall with its siblings. The starting price ought to exceed $900.

There are still no guesses about how the rugged Apple Watch will perform and whether it will hamper other models. But we don’t have to wait long.
