Apple has already confirmed that it will hold the ‘Far Out‘ event on September 7. Multiple online reports suggest that this year Apple may launch a rugged edition of its smartwatch called Apple Watch Pro. Apple Watch Pro is said to be different from the standard Apple Watch Series 8. The rugged smartwatch is said to sport a larger display, longer battery life and better design.
Here’s everything the smartwatch may offer
Apple Watch Pro or Apple Watch Explorer Edition
Apple has not yet confirmed the name of the smartwatch. A recent Bloomberg report suggests that Apple has named the rugged smartwatch as ‘Explorer Edition’ internally. The report further adds that instead of Apple Watch Pro, the company might name the smartwatch as Apple Watch Extreme or Apple Watch Max.

Rugged and sturdier design
The yet to launch Apple Watch Pro is said to sport a strong and durable design.
The device is tipped to feature a 2-inch bigger display which is said to be 7% larger as compared to the Apple Watch Series 7. The wearable is expected to be made with a strong metal material and a shatter-resistant display.
Better battery life
Apple Watch Pro is said to offer a longer battery life as compared to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 8. The longer battery life will be liked by users who are more into outdoor activities and also for those who wish to track their sleep. The smartwatch is also expected to run WatchOS 9.
More health and fitness tracking features
A Bloomberg report suggests that the rugged smartwatch may come equipped with a temperature sensor along with the ability to take an ECG. The device may also come with an SpO2 monitor.
