However, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, a reputable Apple analyst, said in April that Apple Watch 2 might not actually adopt a new design and instead only internal upgrades will be made including possible incremental specs improvement to its hardware but only minor changes in its exterior look.
According to some rumors, Apple Watch 2 shall be 20% to 40% thinner than its predecessor but other than the thickness, there would be no drastic changes on the upcoming device compared to the Apple Watch that was launched in March last year.
Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple fans should not be expecting big design overhaul for the upcoming Apple Watch 2.
The Apple Watch will reportedly adopt the same upgrade cycle as the iPhone and shall also feature an S model that shall feature hardware updates to be released in alternate years to the major developments.
With that being said, it is possible therefore that the next Apple Watch could be named as Apple Watch 1S instead of Apple Watch 2 and the real Apple Watch 2 could come out next year.
The Apple Watch 2 shall also be capable of recording video that could be embedded into the top bezel, allowing wearers to answer calls from their wrists.
