Apple Watch Series 8 might actually look a lot like the Apple Watch Series 7 and will only add an extra grill to the mix, according to a sketchy leak. Apple finally refreshed the design of its smartwatch after a few generations earlier this year, fitting a curved display on the Apple Watch Series 7 that is surrounded by thinner bezels along with new color options, but not much changed inside.
Rumors that were making the rounds prior to the official launch suggested a more aggressive design makeover. Taking a leaf out of the iPhone 12’s aesthetics, leaked renders showed the Apple Watch Series 7 rocking flat sides and a flat display. More importantly, two speaker grills. However, the final product offered neither of those elements and instead went with a curved screen and a familiar rounded edge profile for the case.
Fresh details about the Apple Watch Series 8 have now surfaced online. iDropNews has shared a render of the Apple Watch Series 8 that's based on alleged images and CAD files, and it shows a design heavily inspired by the Apple Watch Series 7. The bulging sides are here to stay, and the curved screen aesthetics will apparently make an appearance on Apple’s next smartwatch as well. The only apparent design change is that the Apple Watch Series 8 is shown with two speaker grills, instead of the single audio vent on the Apple Watch Series 7.
The report also mentions that the Apple Watch Series 8 will be available in a light green shade, similar to what tablet users got with the 4th Gen iPad Air. It is no surprise seeing Apple continue the same design language for more than one generation, which means it is quite likely that the fresh Apple Watch Series 7 looks will also carry over to its successor as well. One might assume that retaining the same fundamental design will allow Apple to focus more on what's inside and possibly add new capabilities to its upcoming smartwatch.
Not much is known about the Apple Watch Series 8 at this point in time, but Apple is rumored to be working on some impressive new health and wellness capabilities for its upcoming smartwatches. The company is reportedly eyeing a new crash detection feature that will sense when an accident happens and automatically call 911. There are also rumors of Apple working on the ability to detect depression and cognitive decline. Temperature measurement, sleep apnea detection, and blood sugar level tracking are also reportedly on the table as well, but it can’t be said with certainty whether any or all of the aforementioned features will arrive with the Apple Watch Series 8 next year.
