--Apple Inc. is planning its upcoming smartwatch to be geared toward extreme sports athletes, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

--The extreme sports watch will use a strong metal material rather than aluminum, have a more shatter-resistant screen and include a larger battery compared with standard Apple Watches, letting athletes track workouts for longer periods of time, the report said.

--The larger display on the extreme sports model is planned to be announced later this year with two other Apple Watch models, Bloomberg reported.

--Representatives for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Dow Jones Newswires.
