As Apple prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its iconic smartwatch, rumors suggest a redesign and a significant change to its branding is on the cards.
Just as Apple did with the iPhone X, reports claim the next-generation Apple Watch might be called the Apple Watch X, not the Apple Watch Series 10.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple will make “significant” changes to the design, the display, and its biometric abilities.
According to the leaked information, the Apple Watch X could be the first smartwatch to measure blood pressure, something that has been rumoured for years now.
On top of that, the Apple Watch X will also provide actionable data for tracking and monitoring sleep apnea.
Larger Display, Thinner Overall Chassis But Same Button Layout
The most striking change is the rumored 2-inch display, surpassing both the Series 9 (1.7-inch) and Ultra (1.93-inch) models.
This larger screen could offer improved readability and more space for complications.
PinDespite the size increase, the overall dimensions suggest a device that’s larger than the Series 9 but more compact than the rugged Ultra, potentially offering a sweet spot for users wanting a bigger display without the bulk of the Ultra.
Interestingly, despite the larger display, rumors point to a thinner case. This contrasts with the current trend where larger screens typically mean bulkier devices. If true, it would be a impressive feat of engineering, potentially making the new model more comfortable for all-day wear.
The Big One: Apple Watch X May Measure Blood Pressure

Billions of people have monitor their blood pressure daily. Having a smartwatch that could do, round the clock, and most importantly, in an accurate, trust-worthy manner, would earn Apple A LOT of new paying customers.
