At its September product launch event, Apple has unveiled the Watch Series 7 alongside the iPhone 13 series. Despite multiple leaks and rumors of a major redesign that involves flat edges, Apple has used the same design we have seen on the Watch Series 6 this time around.
Starting off with the design, Apple Watch Series 7 comes with 40% thinner borders and softer round corners. Apple says the display is 70 percent brighter on always-on mode. While it’d have been sweet to see the rumored flat design, sticking to the old design means that the Watch Series 7 is compatible with all of the old bands you have lying around. You also get IP6X dust resistance and WR50 water resistance with the Watch Series 7.
Apple Watch Series 7 promises 18 hours of battery life. Coming to charging, Apple says the Series 7 charges 33 percent faster than the Series 6. With the updated USB-C cable, you can charge the smartwatch from 0 to 80 percent in 45 minutes. Moreover, you get 8 hours of sleep tracking with just 8 minutes of charging.
Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $399. It comes in five Aluminum colors – Midnight, Starlight, Green, Blue, and Product Red. It will also be available in Silver, Graphite, and Gold stainless steel finishes, in addition to Natural and Space Black Titanium. The Watch Series 7 will have Nike and Hermès editions too. Series 7 will be available later this fall.
