Apple Watch Series 8 color options leaked ahead of September 7 launch - price, specifications and more

Apple Fall Out event: The US-based tech giant Apple is hosting the Fall Out event on September 7 at 10:30 PM. The Cupertino-based company is set to launch the next-gen iPhone 14 lineup, three smartwatches under Apple Watch Series 8 and more. Soon after the Apple Watch Series 8 launch date announcement, a new report has claimed that color options of these upcoming Apple watches have been leaked online. 

"The Apple Watch Series 8 is set to be available in a refreshed selection of color options available across all available casing finishes. The main rumor about the ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌'s color options comes from information shared by the leaker known as "ShrimpApplePro" earlier this year," MacRumors report said.

Overall, the ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ is expected to be available in a significantly reduced number of color options, with three Apple Watch Series 7 finishes reportedly set to be discontinued. Unlike the iPhone 14 lineup, ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ is not expected to receive any completely new color options compared to previous years, the report further said. 

According to the report, the aluminum ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ will eliminate the Series 7's Blue and Green finishes, making PRODUCT(RED) the only non-neutral option still available on the Apple Watch. As per report, Apple will revive the Silver finish from the Apple Watch Series 6 and earlier. 

The report further mentioned that Apple may offer the stainless steel ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ in the same three color options as the Series 7: Gold, Silver, and Graphite – the same selection of stainless steel finishes that the company has now offered for two successive Apple Watch generations.

The ‌Apple Watch Series 8‌ is likely to feature the "S8" chip, a body temperature sensor for enhanced sleep tracking and fertility planning, and a Low Power Mode to prolong battery life. 

The brand is expected to launch a high-end Apple Watch model this year featuring an all-new ruggedized design, a five to seven percent larger display, a larger battery to enable longer workout times, and potentially a flat display. Like the Apple Watch Edition models from recent years, this new Apple Watch variant is expected to feature a casing made of titanium. The Apple Watch series 8 pricing in India might start from Rs 45,000.
