For the last few years, Apple has been one of the top smartwatch sellers globally. In today’s time, the Apple Watch SE is the most affordable smartwatch by Apple. However, it is costlier than Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 Series.

Due to competition in the global market, the number of watch companies is increasing, and many smartwatch options are available in an affordable range of Rs. 20,000. But, clearly, Apple Watch is not present in this range.

The top-end smartwatch is said to be budget-friendly. But now, it seems that Apple Watch wants to fit itself in the budget-friendly category and is planning to announce the launch a new smartwatch tomorrow, i.e., September 7. The Apple Watch’s new line-up is touted to be even cheaper than the Apple Watch SE.
