Gurman further states that Apple’s manufacturing teams are working diligently to overcome the challenges associated with the transition to plastic.

If successful, this could mark a significant step in making Apple Watches more accessible to a more diverse audience, including those that may be trying to dip their toes into Apple waters for the first time.
