Apple is considering extreme sports larger-screen watch with a metal casing

The forthcoming Apple Watch targeted at extreme sports enthusiasts will include Apple Inc.’s largest smartwatch display to date, a larger battery, and a tough metal shell, according to people with knowledge of the project.

A new, normal Apple Watch Series 8 will maintain the 1.9-inch diagonal screen size of the existing Apple Watch Series 7, but the rugged version of the Apple Watch will feature a screen that measures almost 2 inches diagonally. The present screen size of the entry-level Apple Watch SE will also be maintained in the upcoming upgrade.

The extreme sports model’s larger display will have around 7% more screen space than the largest Apple Watch currently on the market when it is released later this year along with the other two versions. The panel will have a similar overall sharpness to the current models with a resolution of roughly 410 by 502 pixels.

Apple may display more fitness metrics or information on watch faces at once by utilising the greater screen surface. In watchOS 9, the company incorporated a number of new fitness capabilities, such as multisport workouts and enhanced intensity tracking during exercises.
