At least one Apple Watch model can undergo major design changes in 2026.

We soon expect Apple to show the next evolution of its smart people and to reveal to the world new models from the Apple Watch, Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra series. However, rumors have already emerged about some of their heirs for 2026, and one of them seems to be a major change in design.

The information comes from Digitimes online editionone of the premium models of Apple Watch can seriously undergo a major major refreshing next year, which will include the arrangement of a total of eight sensors on the back of the clock in a transparent ring shape.

Having more sensors would certainly make sense, given Apple’s desire to add and refine more and more health features in their smart people. Among the new features by which apple It works, for example, is the ability to detect signs of high blood pressure.

Earlier this year A work prototype appeared on Apple Watch Series 10which includes such a transparent ring on his back, but it is not certain if he would be close to the Digitimes mentioned, nor is it clear to which of the estimated models for 2026 should be concerned – Apple Watch Series 12 or Apple Watch Ultra 4.

Another visual change that we can possibly see in the company’s smartwathers is a thinner body, as is the introduction of magnetic straps – two options that Mark Gurman of Bloomberg mentioned a while ago.

However, before we see any of the above mentioned innovations, we will expect to find out what Apple has prepared for this year’s offers in the segment – the Apple Watch Series 11, the Apple Watch SE 3 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3, which we will probably see on September 9, along with the Iph Smartphones.
