Apple Watch
Apple Inc. makes Apple Watch smartwatches. It connects with iOS and other Apple products and has fitness tracking, health features, and wireless networking.
The Apple Watch was released in April 2015. It became the best-selling wearable device: 4.2 million were sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and as of December 2020, over 101 million individuals were expected to use one.
Apple releases a new Apple Watch "Series" each September, with some exceptions.
Each Series has been initially sold in multiple variants defined by the watch casing's material, colour, and size (except for the budget watches Series 1 and SE, available only in aluminium.
And the Ultra, available only in 49 mm uncoloured titanium, and beginning with Series 3, by the option in the aluminium variants for LTE cellular connectivity, which comes standard with the other materials.
Apple offers several watch bands, and Nike and Hermès co-branded aluminium and stainless steel watches with exclusive bands, colours, and digital watch faces are also available.
In 2024, Apple Watch Series X and Ultra 2 with bigger screens are expected.
Apple Watch Series 8 has no significant visual or hardware advancements over its predecessor, Apple Watch Series 7.
The most significant enhancements were left for the more expensive Apple Watch Ultra, which featured a larger display, longer battery life, proper water resistance, and weatherproofing.
A recent note from an analyst analyses Apple's future intentions, which include adding larger displays to its more cheap versions, some of which could be designed by Apple by 2024, the tenth anniversary of the first-generation Apple Watch's release.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is not significantly better in terms of hardware or visuals than the Apple Watch Series 7. The more expensive Apple Watch Ultra was the only one to receive all the significant upgrades, including a larger display, a longer battery life, natural water resistance, and weatherproofing.
A new note from an analyst evaluates Apple's plans, some of which might be designed by Apple by 2024, the tenth anniversary of the first-generation Apple Watch's introduction, and include adding larger displays to its more affordable variants.
In the interim, the existing Apple Watch Series 8 model's 1.71-inch and 1.92-inch displays will be upgraded for the Apple Watch SE 3 series.
These displays, according to Hsieh, would likewise be LTPO OLEDs, but they would be produced by Japan Display Inc. (JDI), and they would be unveiled in the latter half of 2023 before going on sale in 2024.

Regarding the Apple Watch Ultra 2, it is anticipated that it will include micro-LED displays designed by Apple and produced by LG Display. The availability of these in even larger sizes will also be revealed in the latter half of 2023.
The display is anticipated to increase to 2.13 inches, with a 325ppi pixel density and a 540 x 440 or 556 x 452-pixel resolution. According to Hseih, the new display would provide better outdoor brightness and contrast while enabling longer battery life.
In the sports and outdoor smartwatch sector, which Garmin presently dominates, this would, in the analyst's opinion, provide Apple with the advantage it needs.
The new Apple display for the Watch Ultra 2 isn't yet ready, according to the same research note. According to reports, Apple's architecture is far superior since it has a layered hybrid micro-LED pixel and subpixel structure.
According to a recent report, the Apple Watch Series 10 or Series X is anticipated to include a newer, flatter design with new straps and possibly even a blood glucose sensor. Even the inclusion of a blood alcohol monitor on the wearable device is rumoured.
