As a smartwatch targeted at high-performance athletes and very active people, this Apple Watch Pro is expected to be equipped with features designed to keep up with that kind of lifestyle. Gurman claims that a new sensor that can monitor the wearer’s body temperature will be present in this sporty model as well as the regular Apple Watch Series 8. The other sensors on everyone’s wishlist, however, are still quite far away, the report claims.
A cuff-less blood pressure monitor won’t be arriving until 2025, according to his analysis. This has long been the holy grail of smartwatches but has turned out to be even trickier than ECG. Even more distant, however, is the ability to detect glucose levels without drawing blood, a technology that might not even be ready until the end of the decade.
As such, Gurman believes that the Apple Watch Pro will only appeal to a very specific group that does want a larger screen on their wrists. One thing that could sway others outside that group to opt for this model is the potentially longer battery life, though that could still be a stretch. The Apple Watch Series 8 is also expected to use a processor that’s based on the chip used on the Series 6 two years back, potentially giving existing Apple Watch owners less incentive to upgrade this year.
