Apple Watch's 'Extreme Sports' Version, which is tipped to launch alongside other versions later this year, will get a “Pro” tier just like its smartphones, laptops, tablets and earphones. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman states that the Apple's rugged watch may be called the Apple Watch Extreme or Apple Watch Max or Apple Watch Explorer Edition or the Apple Watch Pro. He also claims that it will have ‘pro' features such as a larger and more shatter-resistant display which will increase its cost and it may cost as much as the iPhone 13 Pro Zalo

The Apple Watch Pro is said to have a larger display than the current-generation models, and will be available in two sizes, including one with a bigger display. It will also have new sensors which will include an altimeter as well as a barometer. The sensors will help the watch to gather data about your body and environment while you are moving around.

The Apple Watch Pro is expected to include improved battery life thanks to a new processor that's reportedly being developed by TSMC. The company's new chip will be manufactured on 7nm process technology, which is expected to improve battery life and performance of the watch.

The watch will be compatible with a new magnetic charging cable, which will connect to the back of the watch via a new port. The Apple Watch Pro will also include a new Wi-Fi chip that supports 802.11ac and 5GHz networks.

Apple is expected to release the next-generation Apple Watch models in September, alongside its next-generation iPhones.

This particular Apple Watch is set to sport “a larger and more shatter-resistant display, enhanced hiking and swim tracking, longer battery life and a heftier and rugged case made from a premium, non-aluminum metal material (probably titanium given it's much more durable than steel),” Gurman says. It is also said to cater to extreme sports athletes and will probably go against the likes of premium Garmin wearables. The pro model is set to offer better performance, larger screens plus, and command a higher price.
