Apple Watch Series 7 design leak shows new colors, flattened shape

The Apple Watch is about due for a refresh. The last design refresh came with the Apple Watch Series 4, bringing an edge-to-edge display and refined look, but now, three years later, it’s starting to look slightly stale. That design refresh, however, may well be on the way, at least according to a leak from serial leaker Jon Prosser.

According to Prosser, who published a video detailing the upcoming design refresh, the Apple Watch Series 7 will likely come with a new flat-edge look that matches current iPhone and iPad models. Prosser notes that his sources didn’t confirm that the design changes are destined for the Series 7, but rather an upcoming Apple Watch — however, Apple generally seems to update its mobile devices every three years.

According to Prosser, along with the new flat-edged look, Apple may be experimenting with slightly smaller bezels than the Apple Watch already has, plus it may launch the device in new colors, including a mint green that matches the AirPods Max. Apart from that, the device still more or less looks like an Apple Watch, with a Digital Crown on the right side and support for the already-large ecosystem of watch bands.

Prosser’s renders aren’t actual renders from Apple. Instead, Prosser says he received images and CAD files showing off the new design and created renders based on those files in an effort to protect his sources. Generally, Prosser’s Apple leaks have been pretty accurate over the past few years, but leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt — nothing is official until it’s announced by Apple.

Unfortunately, the new leak only notes the new design of the Apple Watch — not the actual specs. Under the hood, we’re expecting an upgraded processor, and Apple has been rumored to be working on a blood pressure monitor for the Apple Watch, so it’s possible that could appear in the new device. We also expect the device to still come in two sizes, though the sizes may be slightly different from current models considering the redesign. The new device will also feature an upgraded version of WatchOS, though the new software is expected to be shown off at Apple’s WWDC on June 7.

I tracked my sleep with a smart display, ring, and watch. This is my favorite

Since I had a heart attack four years ago, I’ve been on a journey to understand my health. A crucial part of my recovery and focus has been my sleep, and it'smade even more important by the fact that my heart attack took place in the middle of the night while I was fast asleep. Thankfully, I woke up, but our sleep can tell us a lot about our underlying health.

Virtually every wearable now offers some form of sleep tracking, but like most things in technology, not all devices are created equal. Beyond just data, there’s also the question of which is most comfortable to track your sleep, which device gives you the most reliable data, and ultimately, how you can ensure you track your sleep wherever you are.
