A new model: The rugged Apple Watch

According to Bloomberg's seasoned tech reporter Mark Gurman, Apple is mulling launching "with a rugged casing" and a rubberized exterior designed for use in more extreme conditions than day-to-day wear. According to the report, Apple is targeting athletes, hikers and people who'd generally use it in extreme environments. According to the report, it will have the same functionality as a standard Apple Watch but better protection and impact-resistance. Apple is expected to launch the rugged Apple Watch in 2022.
