- Apple could be working on substantial upgrades to its smartwatch for its tenth anniversary in 2024.
- Dubbed the Apple Watch X, it could feature upgrades like a newer magnetic band attachment mechanism, blood pressure monitoring tech, and a mircoLED display.
- For this year, though, you can expect only a processor upgrade and new colors for the Apple Watch.
Apple is rumored to launch the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 next month, but users hoping for substantial changes will be disappointed. Instead, a new leak indicates that Apple has a more significant upgrade planned for the Apple Watch X, the nickname for the tenth-anniversary version of the smartwatch.

According to Apple expert and leaker Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to launch the “Apple Watch X” in 2024 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the most successful smartwatch lineup. With the X model, Apple is exploring a thinner watch case and new ways for the band to attach to the device.
