New report reveals a bunch of juicy details on rugged Apple Watch model coming this year
Rugged body, large screen, and extended battery life
Of course, there is a chance Apple will simply add some sort of a suffix (maybe Pro or Max) to the Series 8 moniker for this extra-robust version, expected to rock a “strong” metal case rather than a “standard” aluminum construction and a sharp screen measuring “almost” 2 inches diagonally.
If you think the Series 7 is big, wait until you see Apple’s upcoming rugged timepiece.
However it’ll end up being called, the gigantic intelligent timepiece is tipped to offer roughly 7 percent more screen real estate than the already massive Apple Watch Series 7 while retaining the same “overall sharpness” and going up to a resolution of around 502 x 410 pixels.
Meanwhile, the specifics of the rugged design are largely (and predictably) kept under wraps for now, but one thing you can be certain of is that the big and sharp screen on this bad boy will also handle drops on hard surfaces better than previous “standard” generations.
More sensors, more fitness data, more money
With more sophisticated sensors and health monitoring tools than ever, but especially a “more shatter-resistant” screen than ever and a robust construction likely to rival Garmin’s best (and strongest) outdoor-friendly smartwatches, the price point could become a problem for the Apple-loving masses.
Apple’s first-ever rugged smartwatch could be costlier than a stainless steel Series 7 (pictured here with a Milanese Loop.)
That essentially opens the door to any price tag starting from around $750, which might prove a tough sell if “all of the new Apple Watches” (SE 2 included) will indeed pack the exact same S8 processor delivering similar overall performance as last year’s S7… and the S6 before it.
