This year we are getting the Apple Watch X, also known as Apple Watch Series 10, which will mark the tenth anniversary of Apple's smartwatches. This generation is rumored to be the company's most significant wearable gadget redesign yet.

Apple Watch X (Series 10) Rumors
One of the design changes of the Apple Watch X is a thinner, more compact body. This would make the laptop much more comfortable to wear, especially with long sleeves. There is also speculation that you will be able to attach new bracelets via magnets instead of the traditional locking mechanism.
Another rumor says that the Apple Watch 2024 will come with a miniLED display, although this upgrade could end up being specific to the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This would help extend the battery life of the Apple Watch Ultra premium even more than it currently is.
However, the feature Apple will most likely bring to market is the rumored blood pressure monitoring, although it probably won't be spectacularly accurate, at least with this generation of Apple Watches. In addition to monitoring your blood pressure, the new Apple Watch X would also feature sleep apnea and hypertension detection.
When will Apple release WatchOS 11 and Apple Watch X?
Apple usually releases its Apple Watches and the latest WatchOS software update alongside new iPhones and the latest iOS update. In other words, we can expect the Apple Watch X to release sometime in September.
However, the company announces its latest software developments and upcoming software changes during WWDC, Apple's annual developer conference usually held in June.
