“The Apple keynote is set for September 12, as announced yesterday when the invites were sent to press and VIPS,” David Phelan writes for Forbes. “However, no sooner had Apple revealed its plans but 9to5Mac, published leaks of what the next iPhones will look like and, moments later, a picture of the next Apple Watch.”
“It’s a remarkable image and, if true, as 9to5Mac insist it is, signals a gorgeous new Watch that’s a clear evolution of current models but even more attractive,” Phelan writes. “It has a way bigger display – as much as a 15% increase – in a same-size Watch. This is achieved by extending the screen much closer to the edge than now. In the image, it appears that the corner elements do sit nearer to the curve of the glass than now.”
“For me, just as striking as the edge-to-edge display is the new Watch face the image shows. There’s so much detail on it!” Phelan writes. “Not every Watch face will be as busy, but this is a clear indication of just how much data you can squeeze into a small oblong screen and still be communicable. It’s a masterpiece of software design.”

MacDailyNews Take: We’ve been wishing for the ability to add more complications for so long – there are always at least two we wish we could put on our Watch face that we cannot because all of the complications are taken up – that we’ll be there the first second the Series 4 becomes available for preorder or purchase!

yes, with money earned from annoying google ads. Is there really a need to upgrade to the latest watch if the current one is good enough. The money saved that way could mean less annoying google ads on the web page.
It’s impressive – but so busy that it makes me want a quieter life.
They’re called “complications” for a reason 🙂
TBH i can’t tell the difference between Series 3 and Series 4…maybe a tiny bit smaller? Color? Looks exactly the same to me..someone enlighten me as to what exactly is different?
If Apple Watch is half as successful as the iPhone has been, there’s ton of money to be made by investors.
There is a research article out claiming that 90% of Apple Watches sold are series 1.

Hard to believe this is even close to correct.
I think that text that changes with context on a curve is a sensational technological design achievement.
I want mine… yesterday !
Love the face… absolutely love the face !
Yep that is way too busy certainly not impressing me.
It’s a freakin’ watch. Until they strap an iPhone SE on there and call it a day, it is too freakin’ small.
For once I will say….yes Jony, please make it THINNER
If the new Apple Watch UI looks like that then it’s gonna suck.
I can’t see Apple ever releasing that piss poor UI design to the masses.
The watch is about simplicity and showing the essential information you need to see when you raise your wrist – not all that clutter that means nothing to no one!
Customize as simple as you like. Apple gives us options. Do you even own an Apple Watch?
