Apple's budget-friendly Watch SE has not received an update since its debut in 2020. The last refresh came with the second-generation model in 2022. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a third-generation Apple Watch SE is currently in development. Additionally, Apple is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 11 and Watch Ultra 3 this year, following the launches of the Watch Series 10 and Watch Ultra 2 in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The company is also rumored to be replacing the aluminum casing with plastic for the next version of the Apple Watch SE.


Third Apple Watch SE Will Likely to be launched in 2025


In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that Apple plans to launch a new Apple Watch SE later this year. This entry-level smartwatch is expected to receive a design overhaul, with the report stating, “A refreshed version of the lower-end SE model will feature a new look.”


Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 are expected to maintain their current designs, although these flagship models may introduce new features. Gurman notes that the next-generation Apple Watch Ultra will likely include satellite connectivity and 5G RedCap network support. Additionally, both the Series 11 and Ultra 3 are expected to come with a high blood pressure detection feature.


Gurman also mentioned that Apple is working on a revamped health app, an AI-driven coaching service, and new features for AirPods.


The new Apple Watch models are expected to be launched alongside the iPhone 17 series in September this year. While the specifications of the next Apple Watch SE remain undisclosed, early rumors suggest it may be available in new color options, with a plastic build potentially replacing the current aluminum casing.


The Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) was released in September 2022, with a starting price of Rs. 29,900 in India. It features a Retina OLED display and is powered by the S8 processor. The smartwatch includes safety features such as crash detection, fall detection, and emergency SOS, along with cellular connectivity and an optical heart rate sensor. Additionally, it is water-resistant up to 50 meters.
