Apple Watch Revamp: Ceramic Model May Return

Apple is planning a return of the ceramic Apple Watch, with a possible release as soon as this year. The ceramic Apple Watch was last offered in 2019 as the 'Apple Watch Edition Series 5'.

The company is exploring new designs and features for future Apple Watch models, including a potential redesign with a round screen and new health features. Apple is also considering premium models 'beyond the Ultra and Hermès variants', as well as cheaper models than the Apple Watch SE.

The Apple Watch SE will not be updated this year, but Apple is working on wrist-based blood pressure monitoring and is planning to launch three new Apple Watch models this autumn, including the Series 12 and Ultra 4. The new Apple Watch models will feature the first new chip since 2023.

## What's Changing Apple's potential overhaul of the Apple Watch is significant, as the device has largely retained its original design since its release. The company's exploration of new designs and features, including a ceramic model, suggests a major shift in the Apple Watch lineup.

## Why it Matters The Apple Watch is a key product for Apple, and any changes to its design or features will be closely watched by consumers and investors. The potential return of the ceramic Apple Watch model, in particular, may appeal to fans of the device who have been waiting for a premium option. With Apple planning to launch new models this autumn, the company's plans for the Apple Watch will be an important area of focus in the coming months.
