Apple plans to introduce blood sugar monitoring in the Apple Watch 13 by 2027, according to a new analyst report. This feature has generated buzz for years. Health-conscious users and tech watchers have asked for non-invasive glucose tracking since 2021.
At that time, many believed Apple would include the feature in the Apple Watch Series 7. Excitement spread across the tech community. Apple focused on other features instead. Engineers and researchers continued working on glucose tracking technology behind closed doors.
By 2024, Apple launched a health research app to gather glucose-related data. That app only supported internal studies. It did not offer any tools for the public. Still, that move suggested Apple had not given up on the project.
Now, analyst Jeff Pu claims Apple will finally introduce blood sugar monitoring in the 2027 model. He believes it will become the headline feature of the Apple Watch Series 13. Pu also hinted at a possible marketing title: “Apple Watch featuring Blood Monitoring.” He provided no technical details or specs.
He also did not name any source from Apple’s supply chain or development teams. That raises some doubts about the claim. However, Pu has correctly predicted past Apple moves. He successfully reported on earlier hardware releases.
He has also made mistakes. Several of his predicted launch dates missed the mark by months or years. Despite the mixed record, his new statement matches other signs of Apple’s direction. The company has quietly invested in glucose tracking for over a decade.
Sources claim Apple wants a non-invasive solution that avoids finger pricks and wearable sensors. That approach could change how people monitor their health. Apple hopes to reach users with diabetes, fitness goals, or general wellness needs.
No other mainstream smartwatch currently offers painless, accurate blood sugar monitoring. If Apple succeeds, it could lead the wearable health tech market. That feature could also strengthen Apple’s image as a health-focused brand.
Many users already rely on Apple Watches for heart, sleep, and fitness tracking. By adding blood sugar monitoring, Apple could make the Watch 13 its most health-capable model yet. As 2027 approaches, Apple faces high expectations. Fans and critics alike will watch closely to see if the company finally delivers.
