San Francisco - Apple is reportedly working on a new design for the Apple Watch, including a rounded watch face, wrap-around flexible display, and digitally-customisable watch bands.
According to MacRumors, a patent titled "Display Module and System Applications" was filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The document outlines how a flexible display could span the entire watch face and the band of a smartwatch for a transformational new Apple Watch design.
The smartwatch would feature a foldable screen that folds around the screen, extending the display all the way to the watch bands
"In one embodiment, the wearable electronic device is a smartwatch including a watch face, band, and clasp," according to the patent.
"A flexible display panel may be integrated into the smartwatch so that it spans both the watch face and band."
