Review | Apple Watch Series 7 review: 20 per cent more screen area, 40 per cent thinner, faster charging and long battery life – time for an upgrade?
- A larger screen area means it’s now easier to use apps on the watch, including a full keyboard, and the Retina display is brighter
- The Apple Watch 7 also comes with USB-C cable that charges it 33 per cent faster than the Watch 6, and an all-day battery that holds a charge for 18 hours
Apple’s newest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 7, hit stores on October 15 with a larger display and a pair of exclusive new watch faces to choose from.
The iPhone maker and tech giant unveiled the latest watch last month along with the iPhone 13 – and has been shipping units to customers who could place pre-orders as of October. 8. The Series 7 starts at US$399 for the 41mm-sized model and US$429 for the 45mm model.
The displays on Apple’s newest watches have 20 per cent more screen area and are 40 per cent thinner than the previous model, the Series 6.
For techies, that means easier to use apps on the watch. For those just looking for the basics, a slightly bigger display means punchier pictures and text. Whether these improvements are enough to make the Series 7 smartwatch a must-have for you depends on your needs.
