The Apple Watch Series 7 does not rely on a completely new design with fewer curves and flattened sides, as was previously suspected, but on the previous design of the Apple Watch Series 6 (test) . Nevertheless, Apple has accommodated a larger screen in a slightly differently shaped case.

Curved display with less bezel

According to Apple, the edges are 40 percent narrower (1.7 mm) than on the Apple Watch 6, and the display is also curved at the edge so that it also allows a small view from the side, which Apple uses in new dials to To place the digits at the very edge. The new model is available in the two sizes “41 mm” and “45 mm”.

Brighter, deactivated display and faster loading

The always-on display should be 70 percent brighter when deactivated than in the Series 6. The battery life of one day (18 hours), which Apple also mentions for the Apple Watch 6, should still not have changed. A powerful, magnetic USB-C fast charging mechanism on the underside ensures that the Apple Watch 7 should be fully charged after 45 minutes.

Stable and protection against dust

Since more information can now fit on the screen, Apple also offers a full keyboard on the touch display, which can also be operated using swipe gestures (QuickPath). At the same time, according to Apple, the new Apple Watch 7 is more stable than the old model, as the 50 percent thicker glass is more unbreakable and the watch is now protected against dust in accordance with IP6X. The waterproofness (WR50), however, has not changed.

The Apple Watch 7 also supports the recording of breathing rate during sleep integrated in the new watchOS 8.

5 colors, bracelets remain compatible

The new Apple Watch 7 is compatible with all bracelets of the Series 6, however, there are new colors for the new model, because the aluminum version of the Apple Watch 7 is also available in a total of five partially new colors (black, silver, green, blue and red). The stainless steel version is also still available in silver, space gray and gold.
