Apple considers launching rugged Watch for extreme sports


Apple could make a new Watch device more 'rugged' by giving it a rubberised exterior that would be useful for environments where the current aluminium, titanium and stainless steel cases might be prone to damage. — Apple Inc

Apple Inc is considering launching an Apple Watch with a rugged casing aimed at athletes, hikers and others who use the device in more extreme environments, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Cupertino, California-based technology giant has internally discussed introducing such a Watch variation later in 2021 or 2022 at the earliest, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
