Quanta will reportedly manufacturer Apple's next generation Apple Watch, reports the Chinese language Economic Daily News via DigiTimes.

The new Apple Watch will be unveiled in the third quarter of 2017 and feature better performance and longer battery life, according to the report.

The market watchers cited research firms' figures and pointed out that Apple sold about 7.5 million Apple Watches in 2016, lower than the 12 million units forecast in early 2016. Currently, improving battery efficiency is Quanta's main task for the new Apple Watch and its other hardware will not see much change, the paper added.

Quanta declined to comment. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Haha I got confused for a minute. I'll never buy another Apple watch until mine breaks and there's no more replacements. Best apple watch ever version 1 period.

just played with my friends new next gen nike version and man is it slow! also, the apps features are quite limited with some of them poorly designed. for me i mostly use the notification feature so these aren't much a problem EXCEPT, apple watch is ugly. i can't believe i still prefer my gen 1 moto360 over it. it just looks much more expensive and aesthetically beautiful in comparison. apple really needs to make a modern classic hardware to capture people's passion towards it. it needs to be jewelry. i know they already said how square is better to display info but that is nerd thinking. the apple watch display is puny and round clock faces look the best and look even tinier squeezed into a square display. apple, eat your own word, stop saving face. copy samsung, copy huawei, copy motorola, they have you beat in design. and only because apple cripples android wear app on iOS that make the apple watch more feature rich. again, I've talked to other smart watch users and we all agree that notification is the most used function. now get a nice design. i would love if apple made a sports bracelet. 100usd, simple, notifications, siri and make it beautiful. heck even remove the mic and speaker. 7 day battery life and notifications.

The next Apple Watch better be a breakthrough or I'm never gonna be a fan at all... Really happy with my Omega watch and my iPhone, both cover all my time-related needs with 100% efficiency. Good luck Apple, you're gonna need it l.
