The launch event is just a month away now and a new leak about the smartwatch has emerged

[{"selector":"#anim-bc3d3f83-fb6c-4110-bb7e-f0f95601f151","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae535b8a-93ec-41f9-ad32-7f1a716d5b24","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.30302%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c880b7f0-7683-4b9e-b28d-c5dd66a69a74","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20e3d38a-841b-4442-9e81-7366b4d63f95","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.47573%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The leak suggests that no redesign coming to the Apple Watch Series 8

[{"selector":"#anim-06cd8bc9-fbc9-4cda-99d8-1336ed65d406","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0bfeabf2-df51-4381-8728-ee7b8cb32a0a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.30302%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6071c6d4-9087-4343-a823-189d9f7fc6b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dcfb4cde-a46f-409d-8d0d-eaf193a28728","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.9753%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

According to the tipster ShrimpApplePro, the Apple Watch Series 8 will feature the same design as theSeries 7

[{"selector":"#anim-2abb3698-0499-4a35-8a8b-f470995612ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3bed9172-5fc2-4977-84bd-92fd000fae9c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.30302%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbe93197-28a6-44c7-bcdc-57ae37f05608","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b95e4b4f-a3ec-431c-8dd0-9da6917d707f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27061769-0c18-4e38-8133-e808c2d412e8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Shrimp also says only the base models of the Apple Watch Series 8 feature the same design as the Watch Series 7. So there will be a high chance that the Apple Watch Pro may be the only version with a new design

[{"selector":"#anim-29c5f5a7-75c9-48ee-b72e-913492cd90c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94826958-e95d-4e9c-bc11-7def5254eb33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37f4f786-149f-44bd-8613-8cf3f50696df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-110.02866%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93c7975e-b507-4a06-8884-f9dadb9bb2e8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-25df6e6d-db58-4ff7-b0c3-9142fb19a5b5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Tipster also revealed details about the color and cases of the Apple Watch 8 Series. It will be sold in Aluminum and Stainless Steel cases in 41mm and 45mm sizes

Earlier rumors suggest that the Watch 8 series would come with a Flat edge design. We can't predict exactly the design of the Watch 8. We have to wait for the official event to know the exact design and features of the wearable
