Renders of theApple WatchPro have leaked online and, if accurate, it looks like it might be one ofApple’s least attractive designs in years. I’m here to tell you that that doesn’t matter, here’s why…
The Apple Watch Pro is expected at the upcomingApple eventalongside theApple Watch Series 8andiPhone 14. The new model is thought to be aimed at serious athletes and outdoor enthusiasts - people who would usually strap aGarmin watchto their wrists before running an ultramarathon through a desert.
As such, the Apple Watch Pro will have some more advanced features aimed at these users, chief among which is a chunkier more rugged design.

Now, I’ll reserve my full judgement until Apple has officially revealed the final design, but as you can see from the image above, if accurate, the Apple Watch Pro is clearly not going to be as sleek and minimal as the standard Apple Watch model.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing though - like chunky tool watches the Apple Watch Pro is designed for a purpose and that purpose is to be easy to use while people are working out. That’s why the larger screen is important and why there are more physical buttons that look easy to press while wearing gloves (that’s very important on early morning winter runs).

It’s a purposeful design, and that has its own beauty.
Clearly, though, the Apple Watch Pro won’t be for everyone, but for some people, it might be the rugged smartwatch from Apple they’ve been waiting for.
