According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the tough model might cost somewhere between $900 and $1000. Apple could use the abundance of new capabilities in the watch to explain this enormous price increase. The watch is anticipated to be available starting on September 16 and might debut alongside the new iPhones. According to reports, the Pro version has a larger battery that may keep the gadget running for longer than 18 hours.

The Apple Watch Series 8 will most likely come with S8 chip that is said to have same specification as S7 chip. The revised low-power mode in the new series could enable the watch to run longer on a single charge.
