Apple’s rumored high-end Apple Watch model for extreme sports could cost about $ 999, the same starting price as the current iPhone 13 Pro, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Given that the new high-end Apple Watch will include a slightly larger screen, new sensors and high-end materials, I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts at between $ 900 and $ 999, the starting price of an iPhone 13 Pro . We’re only a couple of months away from finding out exactly where Apple lands.
Gurman compares the Garmin-style Apple Watch model to what he believes will be its biggest rival, the leaked Samsung Watch Pro 5, which is expected to be announced next month . Samsung’s “Pro” version will have a slightly larger screen and battery than standard models, as well as a titanium casing and a more robust design. However, the most expensive version, the 44mm model with LTE, is expected to be around half the price of the watch that Apple is rumored to have.
Aimed at athletes, hikers and others who experience more extreme conditions during exercise, the new level of Apple Watch will feature LTE, a larger screen and a metal housing that is better able to withstand abuse. Gurman offers some possible names for the new device: Apple Watch Extreme, Apple Watch Max, Apple Watch Explorer Edition, but the reporter speculates that the model will adopt the nickname “Pro” according to its other higher priced products.
The screen will measure nearly two inches diagonally, which is larger than the 1.9-inch screen size of the current Apple Watch Series 7 and the planned Apple Watch Series 8. It is also expected to include a more tear-resistant screen and have a larger battery to accommodate longer training times.
The sport-focused version of the Apple Watch will go on sale along with the standard Apple Watch Series 8 scheduled for later this year and the Apple Watch SE, which is also expected to see an update in 2022.
