A Weibo leaker claims the 2027 Apple Watch will receive a major overhaul with a redesigned case that could break compatibility with existing bands, reviving years-old rumors of an 'Apple Watch X' redesign; the report also notes rumored major changes for the 2026 Apple Watch Ultra 4 and cautions buyers to pause buying extra bands until the redesign lands.

While Barclays suggested December and Nikkei Asia floated a potential early-2027 delay due to engineering issues and Bloomberg mentioned a slight delay, the leaker argues any postponement would be at most about a month, not a long postponement.
