Next month, Apple will not only present the Apple Watch Series 9, but also a completely new strap for the Watch. This is how it looks!
Apple presents new smartwatches
Next month, Apple will probably also present two new smartwatches in addition to the new iPhone. The Apple Watch Series 9 will then appear with a completely new strap. In addition, a new generation of Apple Watch Ultra will be released. Apple will probably finally provide the watches with a really new processor this year. With the S9 chip, the watches are a lot faster and more energy efficient.

The Apple Watch Series 9 will most likely get a completely new strap, which is said to close with a magnetic closure. The wristband is similar in design to the Modern Buckle Strap (in Dutch modern buckle), which appeared with the original Apple Watch in 2014. That strap is now only available for the smallest housing of the Apple Watch and costs no less than 149 euros.
New strap for the Apple Watch Series 9
It is expected that Apple will release a similar strap with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 9. This new wristband then consists of two separate parts that are magnetically clicked together. It is also unclear in which colors the new Watch strap will be released and what the exact design will be. The price of the new strap is probably around 99 euros.
It is clear that this strap is designed for the Apple Watch Series 9 and not for the larger Apple Watch Ultra 2. The housing of the new watches is not expected to be adjusted, the biggest change is the new S9 chip. The new wristband seems to confirm that the new smartwatches will receive few major changes. Apple usually releases a new watch strap if the Apple Watch itself does not receive a major update.
New colors for the next Apple Watch
We can expect the models of the Apple Watch in a new color this year. The Apple Watch Series 9 appears in a pink color, while the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is released in a dark titanium variant. For example, the Apple Watch Series 9 looks slightly different from the Series 8, especially with the new watch strap.
