I get the distinct feeling this Pro model watch, although advertised as rugged, will really be the new luxury/stainless steel version that will physically differentiate between those who have a stainless steel version and now the this new version will be even more expensive and more of a show off look at me I have something even more expensive model.

quote me on this.

The square edge design has always had appeal to me, but the further I think about it, the less I hope it comes true. I don't really think a square edge design would be as comfortable and it doesn't really offer any more functional benefit over the Series 7 style. I reserve my opinion until the Series 8 launches but in either case I will be replacing my Series 5 44mm with a cellular Series 7 45mm or Series 8 larger size.

Considering that the current AW 7 in stainless steel starts at $699, and titanium Edition at $799, the odds of seeing this supposed AW 8 "Pro/rugged/premium" start at any less than $699 are very bad.

I'd go as far as to say lower than $699 is impossible because that would instantly cannibalise next to all sales of the standard $399 AW 8 and also the only one year old AW 7 in the stainless steel and Edition finishes.

AW 8 Pro starting at $699 or less, it will be too great value/$ compared to the rest of the lineup.

I can only see less than $699 as a possibility if AW 8 "Pro" is just more durable/rugged than the standard. But if it's a rugged + premium combo then it's definitely more than $699.
