When will the Apple Watch Series 8 come?

Although we mainly discuss the Apple Watch Series 8 in this article, we also have expectations for the second-generation Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Pro. We'll tell you more about that later.

  • Earlier release dates
  • Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Pro

Apple Watch Series 8 release date 2022

At this time, Apple has not announced the Apple Watch Series 8. However, based on rumors and previous predictions, we can make a good guess. Month-wise, it's not that hard: almost all Apple Watches were announced in September, so we expect that in 2022.

In any case, the Apple Watch Series 8 will be announced during the iPhone event in September 2022. Apple will not hold a separate event for the Apple Watch. The September event is predicted to take place on September 6, although we think differently.

As we also describe in our article about the date of the iPhone event in 2022, most events in the second or third week of September. With that logic, we think the event will take place on September 13, 2022. This is what the order from announcement to release looks like:

  • Announcement: Tuesday, September 13, 2022
  • Pre-order: Friday, September 16, 2022
  • Release Date: Friday, September 23, 2022

What about the Apple Watch SE 2022 and Apple Watch Pro release date?

< p>While we expect the Apple Watch Series 8 to go on sale on September 23, we're not sure about the Apple Watch SE 2022 and Apple Watch Pro yet. There are rumors that Apple wants to release these as well. The announcement will take place during the same event, but it may well be that the real release will follow later than the regular Series 8.

Apple can choose to give the Pro model some extra attention, for example. By releasing it a week or two later, for example, this model gets a round of reviews from all kinds of well-known newspapers, websites and YouTube stars. Apple has used this tactic before, so it wouldn't be the first time. There are no rumors about Apple taking this approach, but it's something to keep in mind.
