It looks like theApple Watch Series 7is about to lose its crown as the biggestApple Watchever made: the rugged ‘Extreme Sports’ version of theApple Watch Series 8is going to have a bigger display, although that might not translate into a significantly bigger casing.
As for the casing, that’s going to be different too:accordingto Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the metal casing will be made of a material that’s stronger than the aluminium used in the standardApple Watchmodels.
The new display will be almost two inches diagonally, and will deliver 7% more screen area than the 45mm Series 7. That would enable it to display more data on screen, which would be useful for athletes and other sportspeople. And there are some other fitness-friendly updates too.
