Apple is planning to bring an updated Apple Watch SE and a new Apple Watch with a rugged design to its Watch line-up next year. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to launch a second-gen Watch SE alongside Apple Watch 8.
However, there is no information about the specifications of the 2022 Watch SE, but it might include a slightly tweaked design and health features in line with high-end models, says the report.
In addition to the SE, the company is planning a new rugged designed Apple Watch aimed at sports athletes. As per Gurman’s statement on Power On newsletter, the new Apple Watch will feature a “ruggedised” design that may feature a case that’s more resistant to scratches, dents, falls, and more.
Right now, the Apple Watch portfolio consists of Apple Watch 8, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch 3. The company has partnered with Nike for special Apple Watch Series 7 and SE models that feature a unique watch face and come paired with special watch bands.
