A new demo unit from an Apple Store has revealed an unreleased/unused version of its smartwatch. The ‘Apple Watch Pro’ moniker was spotted in a hidden file in the retail store’s demo unit.
This hidden file was found by @AppleDemoYT who shared this news on his Twitter account. The demo unit that has this file featured an original design that had a built in iPad Mini to showcase the watchOS to customers. In this, the “Apple Watch Pro” logo along with other smartwatch variants like Watch Sport and Watch Edition. In other words, it means that the Cupertino based giant was working on Pro variant that it had planned to watch sometime in 2015.
Upon looking into some of the demo content files on a 2015 Apple Watch Demo (A1623), I discovered an image of logo for an unknown model of Apple Watch. Not sure if “Apple Watch Pro” is an unreleased model, or is just some place holder text. #appleinternal pic.twitter.com/kbpzBGrokX

Although, it seems that the iPhone maker did not follow up with this product and changed its plans sometime before its 2015 “Spring Forward” event that revealed the pricing and release date for its Watch. Notably, this demo unit of the Watch also didn’t allow users to try the watch on their wrists, rather, it was simply showcased on a table and wasn’t meant to be tried out. AppleDemoYT also noted that this could be an unreleased model or just a placeholder text for the Watch before the company settled on a name.
