Three new Apple Watch Series 8 models predicting to launch this year

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reiterates his prediction his previous reporting that Apple will likely debut three new Apple Watch models this year: the Apple Watch Series 8; an updated Apple Watch SE; an “extreme sports” Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to come in the same size as the Series 7 and include more health management features. All three models will likely see a slight redesign and a case that’s more resistant to scratches, dents, falls, and more.

Gurman says he’s not expecting “any major new health sensors” for the Apple smartwatch this year, though there is a possibility that the tech giant could add a body temperature feature. Gurman says that changes will also include “major updates to activity tracking” as well as continued performance improvements.
