The Apple Watch Professional appears to be like a lot bigger than the 45mm or 41mm Apple Watch Sequence 7 units the corporate presently sells, in addition to the rumored Sequence 8 additionally anticipated to be introduced on Wednesday.

The dimensions comparability follows the leaked instances and CAD drawings from yesterday, which confirmed a brand new button to the left of the flat Apple Watch Professional show, together with a brand new protrusion to the appropriate housing a mic, button, and Digital Crown that now seems to be higher protected against unintended presses — one thing that would simply occur when worn by the out of doors athletes this watch is supposedly targetting.
