If you were a little underwhelmed by the Apple Watch Series 9, 2024 is set to be much more interesting: Apple is planning to unveil a very different Apple Watch next year. The launch date isn't fixed, so it may slip into 2025, but plans for the device are well advanced.
Our old pal Mark Gurman at Bloomberg first revealed the plans earlier this year, describing an "Apple Watch X" that would mark the 10th anniversary of Apple's wearable. It's believed to be a special version of the standard Apple Watch, not the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and will introduce some crucial new features. This week he hasn't used the Watch X name, but says that a big upgrade is scheduled for the non-Ultra Apple Watch this year.
