When Is Apple Launching the Apple Watch X? As we mentioned, Apple is reportedly launching the “Apple Watch X” to celebrate 10 years of the Apple Watch, but the company has actually two dates to choose from. You see, the first-ever Apple Watch was announced during the iPhone 6 keynote in September 2014 but wasn’t actually released until April 2015. This basically gives Apple two dates to choose from. If they choose the date it was announced, we should see the Apple Watch X in 2024, which would make more sense. After all, Apple probably doesn’t want to launch an Apple Watch Series 10 and then an Apple Watch X. It would be confusing, and the average user would think it’s basically the same product. With that said, based on the rumors we just mentioned, Apple might wait until 2025 to launch the Apple Watch X. Multiple analysts have said the micro-LED display and the blood glucose sensor won’t be ready next year — but they could be by 2025. If that’s true, it would make much more sense for Apple to use a different name and release the special edition Apple Watch in two years. Of course, this is all speculation, so take it with a grain of salt. As for the price, we haven’t heard any rumors about that, but we expect Apple to keep the same price as the base Apple Watch models. Get Ready for the Next-Generation Apple Watch Whether Apple is actually working on a special edition “Apple Watch X” or merely an Apple Watch Series 10, there’s no doubt that we’ll see a brand-new model in 2024. Hopefully, apple will finally launch at least one new health feature that will make upgrading a no-brainer for Apple Watch users. Until we have more information, though, there’s nothing more to do than play the waiting game and start saving up some money.
