Upgraded Apple Watch 1 Models Said to Launch Alongside Apple Watch 2 Later This Year
 

In addition to predicting an all-new Apple Watch 2 with a GPS, barometer, larger battery, and more, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today claimed that upgraded first-generation Apple Watch models with faster TSMC-built processors and superior waterproofing will likely launch in the second half of 2016.

Kuo said the upgraded Apple Watch 1 models will **t have a GPS, barometer, or other larger additions reserved for the Apple Watch 2, **r will the waterproofing improvements be as significant, suggesting only an incremental refresh of internal hardware. The watches are said to retain a similar form factor.

The well-connected analyst expects a**ther Apple Watch price cut once the new models are launched, but he did **t specify whether the reduction will apply to existing first-generation models, upgraded first-generation models, Apple Watch 2 models, or some combination of the three lineups. Apple lowered the starting price of the Apple Watch Sport to $299 in March 2016, a savings of $50 compared to the device's initial $349 launch price in April 2015.
