The Series 10 is likely to come in 45mm and 49mm sizes, predominantly larger than the current 41mm and 45mm Watch Series 9 models. Apple is also expected to debut the third-generation Apple Watch Ultra, similar to the Ultra 2.
Apple will use 3D printing technology to produce some components starting in the second half of 2024, handling the manufacturing with Bright Laser Technologies (BLT). The new watch strap will have a magnetic mechanism, making it smooth to replace, though previous straps might not be compatible.
In the coming days, the same technology will also be used to manufacture Apple Watch cases. It is said to reduce the number of components and also decrease the complexity of assembling a watch. Apple first tested 3D printing with the Watch Series 9 to reduce components and manufacturing costs. Compared to last year, BLT is said to have improved 3D printing efficiency, making it a great choice to produce the next-generation Apple Watches.

Apple has found success in positioning the Apple Watch as a healthy device. The company has introduced various health tracking tools in recent years which include blood oxygen monitoring, temperature sensing and new software features for cyclists and runners.
The company is reportedly working on a non-invasive glucose monitoring feature, this might change the way how people test their glucose level by pricking their finger to simply checking by the watch on hand.
