There are enoughApple Watch 6leaks and rumors out there that we expect a fresh iPhone-compatible smartwatch in 2020. But,no, we didn’t just see it in a new video.
A clever fan-made concept video titled ‘IntroducingApple WatchSeries 6’ is making the rounds onYouTuberight now, and while thisConcepts iPhonecreation isn’t the actual Apple Watch 6, it is worth your 60 seconds. Just temper your expectations later this year.
The concept video imagines the next Apple Watch as the one that finally sports an edge-to-edge display without any bezel and, apparently, without a change in the watch dimensions, according to the video description. If only.
We explored Apple’s video archives and noticed that a lot of the tweaked footage is borrowed from theApple Watch 4reveal in 2018. That makes sense, as it’s the last time that Apple changed up the sizing and bezel of its smartwatch, so the company was showing off the fullness display back then. This fan concept takes it to the max.
Doesn’t back up Apple Watch 6 leaks, though
Here’s the rub. While fan-made concepts are all well and good, they do fool plenty of consumers into thinking they’re the real deal. More importantly, thisisn’twhat we’re expect from the Apple Watch 6.
More importantly, this isn’t what we’re expect from the Apple Watch 6.

Apple Watch 6 sleep tracking is expected, although we’ve pinned that for a feature in the last several Apple Watch hardware updates, ever since we wrote aboutApple’s acquisition of Bedditthree years ago. This may be the year – for real this time.
Finally, there’s the more farfetched Watch 6 rumor that argues that Apple has been busy adding Touch ID, either to the digital crown button or underneath the display. There’s a very outside chance that the newiPhone SE 2020won’t be Apple’s only mobile product with Touch ID this year.
Don’t get us wrong, we’d like to see an edge-to-edge Apple Watch 6 display, but that hasn’t been borne out in the leaks to date.
