The history of Apple’s smartwatches began in the spring of 2015. For a few years, Apple released more or less standard models with partial improvements and recently added to these basic models the super-durable Apple Watch Ultra, designed for extreme conditions.

The Apple Watch product line continues to do very well, and with its tenth anniversary approaching, there are rumours that Apple could release an anniversary model to mark the occasion. The anniversary model is commonly called the Apple Watch X.

It is expected to see the light of day in 2025 — exactly ten years after the launch of the first generation of Apple’s smartwatch. However, some speculations also discuss the possibility of the Apple Watch X being introduced as early as next year.

Apple is reportedly preparing a major redesign for its smartwatch, referred to as the Apple Watch X. Still, it’s not just for effect, as the company will introduce the Series 9 this year. So next year, we should see the 10th Series, where Apple could celebrate this anniversary with just an Apple Watch X model.

According to well-known analyst Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is planning a major redesign of the Apple Watch, released to mark the tenth anniversary of the product line. Apple Watch X should have a significantly thinner case. Other details remain secret.

Apple is rumoured to be working on microLED display technology for the Apple Watch, and according to these rumours, a watch with microLED technology will appear in 2025. This coincides exactly with when Apple plans to launch the Apple Watch X.
