How Much Would You Be Willing to Pay for an Apple Watch ‘Pro’?
We’re just a few days away from when Apple is expected to announce the Apple Watch “Pro,” an entirely new Apple Watch explicitly designed for athletes and customers who want a more robust and durable Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch “Pro” has been described as a “rugged” Apple Watch that will feature a new design, a larger display and battery, and more durable materials to make it more suitable for athletes and those who are active. Those improvements won’t come without an additional cost, however, with the new model priced above most versions in the current lineup.
The new Apple Watch will likely sit at the higher end of the Apple Watch lineup, likely replacing the Apple Watch Edition as the more expensive model in the lineup. To make things easier, we’ve put together a quick comparison chart comparing the Apple Watch Edition and the Apple Watch “Pro” below.
