The Apple Watch They are quite recognizable devices, at least for their shape and design. There are many brands that have copied them, trying to appear to be from Apple, despite not belonging to the company. Especially when we talk about the Ultra model, which is even more striking and identifiable.
However, although many people were looking for an exterior redesign, since we have been using the same models for many years, it seems that this is not going to happen, or at least not in the next 2 years, and We will have to wait until 2028 to see any changes important.
Apple Watches will be the same until 2028
According to leaker Instant Digital, Apple is not planning a major redesign of the Apple Watch until 2028. This means that the models that will arrive earlier, especially those from 2026, They will keep practically the same appearance general than current watches. There would be no drastic changes in the shape, size or main materials, but rather internal improvements that do not affect the external appearance, that is, something we have been seeing for many years, except for the improvement of screen edges.
This idea contradicts previous rumors that Apple was preparing a major change to the case for 2026, especially for integrate new health-related sensors. Among the features that have been mentioned several times is needle-free glucose measurement, something that might require more internal space or a slightly different design. However, according to this leaker, Apple could add these advances without having to completely redesign the body of the watch, or, something that it does not want at all, that they be delayed because they are not yet ready.
It has also been said that Apple could include Touch ID in a future Apple Watch. Some leaks suggest that this system could be integrated under the screen, so that it would not modify the exterior design. This would fit with the idea that the watch would maintain the same general shape for years to come as Apple works on more advanced internal technologies.
Regarding the reliability of Instant Digital, it is a source that has been right on some occasions, such as when it revealed iPhone colors or Apple Watch strap details, but it has also failed other times. Therefore, it is possible that some of the information is correct and some is not, although it could be much safer by 2026, and that it may fail in later years, so an Apple Watch Series 12 does not seem to be revolutionary in terms of design.
In summary, If you were waiting for an Apple Watch with a big visual change, everything indicates that you will have to wait until 2028. Before that, what we will see will be internal improvements and new functions, but without a complete redesign, or at least not so much so that we can clearly differentiate models at a glance, and they could be millimeters thick, more screen, or new straps, for example.
And you, do you think that design is an important part of the sale, or does the fact that we have new health improvements and a competitive price predominate? Leave us a comment with your opinion
