The source does note that the colour used in the render does not indicate the final colour for the Apple Watch Series 8.

It should be noted that many reputed analysts and tipsters, who had leaked information about the Apple Watch Series 7, were proved wrong when the watch launched. The Apple Watch Series 7 was touted to sport a flat-edged design, mirroring the design language of the iPhone 12 and iPad Air, but was launched with a familiar design, similar to the Apple Watch Series 6.

In India, the Apple Watch Series 7 starts at ₹41,900 for the GPS only mode, while the GPS + Cellular model starts at ₹50,900.
