San Francisco: Apple Watch 2 was not announced during the company's March 21 keynote, which means it's might be timed for WWDC 2016 or September's expected iPhone 7 launch.

We didn't see next iPhone-compatible smartwatch announced on March 21, as some had previously thought. Instead, iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9.7 were announced. New Apple Watch bands and a lower price were all we got.

That means the launch might happen in June alongside iOS 10 at Apple's WWDC 2016 event, or in September along with the likely iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus debut.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), in 2016, 14.0 million Apple Watches will be shipped around the world. Android Wear smartwatches will follow with 6.1 million units, or 21.4 percent of the market.

Apple Watch Sports Bands, Hermes Bands, and the Milanese Loop will have new colors. Apple Watch 2 will be powered by ARM Cortex A32 processor and this processor will assist the watch reduce the power consumption. The company is planning to make the Watch 2 a health-focused device.

CEO Tim Cook has said the Cupertino-based company is concentrating more on fitness capabilities for the Watch 2. It will have a front-facing camera for FaceTime Video calls and is expected to be a waterproof device.
