Leaks suggest that the standard Apple Watch Series 8 models may get the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7.

Not just that, it is expected to get 7 percent more screen area than the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7. The Pro Rugged version of the series is aimed at athletes, hikers and all the sports enthusiasts.

MacRumors report suggested the Apple Watch Series 8 will feature an S8 chip that is said to have the same specs as the S7. That means, no major upgrade in terms of speed.

Analyst Mark Gurman earlier tipped that it may feature a dedicated body temperature sensor that can detect if the user has a fever or not. Besides this, Sleep detection, Blood Glucose Monitoring, Blood Pressure measurement, and a lot more activity tracking are expected to get on Apple Watch Series 8.
