It retains the 47mm squircle design, proprietary Dynamic Lug System for bands, and lacks a rotating bezel, with button protrusions reduced and less orange accenting than before.

Android Authority's review of the Apple Watch Series 12 finds the device largely unchanged in size and design from the Series 10 and 11, with incremental upgrades to battery charging, sensors, and health features.
