New renders by X (previously Twitter) user concept_central offer a glimpse of what the Apple Watch X (Series 10) might look like. These visualizations confirm some long-circulating rumors about the upcoming smartwatch.

Possible Design Changes The renders showcase a potentially sleeker design for the Apple Watch X. A significant change comes in the form of a novel magnetic band attachment system. This could replace the current slot mechanism that houses the watch bands.

The switch to magnets would allow for a thinner overall profile for the Apple Watch X, potentially freeing up valuable internal space. This space could then be used for a larger battery, a feature frequently requested by users.

Display Enhancements Earlier leaks suggested the Apple Watch X might adopt a cutting-edge microLED display. However, the renders depict the device sticking with OLED technology. This doesn’t necessarily mean a downgrade.

The renders show the bezels surrounding the display being significantly slimmed down. Additionally, the OLED panel itself is rumored to benefit from improved brightness and efficiency.

Health Tracking Developments The health tracking capabilities of the Apple Watch X could take a significant leap forward with the introduction of blood pressure monitoring. According to the rumors, the Apple Watch X wouldn’t provide exact blood pressure readings, but it could alert users to potentially high or low blood pressure levels.

This feature would be a valuable addition to Apple’s existing suite of health and wellness functionalities, further solidifying the Apple Watch’s position as a leader in wearable health tech.

Pulse Oximeter Uncertainty A question mark hangs over the future of the pulse oximeter functionality, currently present in some Apple Watch models. This feature, which measures blood oxygen levels, has been entangled in a patent infringement lawsuit filed by medical technology company Masimo.

The lawsuit resulted in import bans on some Apple Watch models in the U.S. This creates a hurdle for including the pulse oximeter in the Apple Watch X. The feature’s presence ultimately depends on whether Apple reaches a new agreement with Masimo or develops an alternative solution.
