Apple's upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 will feature slightly larger bezels and a Digital Crown that protrudes more than previous models, according to a report from AppleInsider. The article, which is only available to paid subscribers, cites unnamed sources familiar with the device's design.
The changes are said to be minor, but they mark a departure from Apple's recent trend of reducing bezel size on its smartwatches. The Digital Crown, a key navigation component on the Apple Watch, is reportedly redesigned to stick out further from the case, which could affect how users interact with the device.
Apple has not officially announced the Apple Watch Series 12. The company typically unveils new Apple Watch models in September alongside new iPhones. As of September 2026, no official details about the Series 12 have been released.
This report should be treated with caution, as it is based on a paywalled article and has not been independently verified. AppleInsider has a mixed track record with pre-release Apple rumors, and design details can change before launch.
