Significant Apple Watch redesign reportedly won’t arrive until 2028

Apple Watch Series 11 is the ultimate health and fitness companion, empowering users with new insights into sleep quality with sleep score, plus notifications for signs of hypertension.

According to leaker Instant Digital, the Apple Watch lineup for 2026 is expected to stick closely to its current design, with no significant visual updates on the horizon until at least 2028.

In a recent Weibo post, the source indicated that Apple won’t debut a fresh aesthetic until the year following the launch of its milestone 20th-anniversary iPhone, slated for late 2027.

Tim Hardwick for MacRumors:

The claim puts a dampener on expectations that Apple is readying a major Apple Watch redesign next year.
In August, DigiTimes reported that at least one new model launching in 2026 would have “significant” changes to its exterior design that would be related to new sensors. This led to speculation that the changes could be linked to Apple’s development of noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technology, but the Apple Watch feature is still believed to be a few years away while Apple works on further miniaturization.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported long ago on the possibility of a redesigned Apple Watch with a thinner case and a magnetic band system. While the Apple Watch Series 10 debuted a thinner case, no magnetic band has materialized, and there were no additional design changes in the Series 11 released earlier this year.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: More efficient chips, due mainly to smaller processes, that deliver longer battery life, are far more important to Apple Watch users that any external design changes.
