Transparent ring surrounds sensors
What is particularly striking is the new sensor arrangement on the back of the device: In addition to significantly more compact heart rate and blood oxygen sensors, an additional, partly transparent ring can be seen, which further heats up speculation using new measurement methods. So far, however, Apple has not officially commented on this component or its purpose, which is why it is currently not known what this ring actually serves.
