Apple explores radical Apple Watch redesigns and new form factors
Apple is reportedly planning a major overhaul of its Apple Watch lineup to diversify its wearables strategy and compete with rising health-tracking trends. According to reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is exploring several radical design shifts that could arrive in the next two to three years.
Key developments under consideration include a screenless fitness tracker to compete with specialized devices like Whoop and Oura, as well as models featuring round displays to break from the traditional rectangular design. Apple is also looking to expand its price tiers, potentially introducing ultra-premium models above the current Ultra and Hermès editions, alongside more affordable options below the current SE series.
Additionally, there are indications that Apple may bring back ceramic cases, a premium material used in earlier generations but discontinued in 2020. While immediate updates like the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are expected to focus on internal performance boosts and new health features, the long-term vision involves a fundamental restructuring of the smartwatch category to integrate more advanced AI and health monitoring capabilities.
