Apple Watch Series 7 review: A modest upgrade to the Series 6

The Apple Watch Series 7 has a larger screen and faster charging, but otherwise doesn’t feel very different than the Series 6. More of a refinement than a whole new generation.

    This is a nice clear review. Are the watches you’re wearing the 41mm or 45mm?

    • simple dude

      October 26, 2021 at 10:33 pm

      41mm. I caught a glimpse of the back at 0:54

      @simple dude, thanks! You’re more observant than I am.

    I’ll keep my SE 40mm LTE, and my Series 6 44mm LTE. I think the series 7 is a big whammy for me.
    The same goes with the new MacBooks I’ll keep my M1 Mac Mini, and Pro

      Why would you even have two apple watches?

      @impendio Why not?

    Modest yes but seems massive at times. Upgraded every year since original and was not going to because of the modest upgrade but did and glad I did.

    • impendio

      October 26, 2021 at 11:33 pm

      Why would you upgrade every year? It’s a _watch…_

    • Jake Cracker Barrel

      October 26, 2021 at 11:41 pm

      @impendio why not? Maybe he likes having new features!

      @impendio if you can and you want to, I don’t see a problem with that.

  6. impendio

    October 26, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    Half of the features of the Watch are not available on my country, either because no carrier has LTE for e-sims, or because _no one_ uses Apple services (like iMessage) or most services outright don’t work (Maps or ECG) so really any Series 4~6/SE are functionally identically here, and the 7 is again such a minimal increase under those conditions compared to the 6 that it makes no sense whatsoever to upgrade any of those. I’ll wait until my Series 6 dies or they add a new health sensor that actually works…

    I have the gold stainless steel series 5 will upgrade knowing that it’s just for the larger screen size.

      You plan on going gold again?

    Was fully prepared to upgrade my Watch with the squared edges but ever since this was announced I’ve literally had no desire to obtain it. Such a disappointment.

    • Danijel Romanic

      Blame the fake rumors for skewing your expectations.

    I’ll stick to series 6 for now

    • Falcos01

      October 27, 2021 at 10:48 pm

      I hope yes because you are not supposee to buy a watch each doesn’t make sense…

    • Isaias Diaz

      October 28, 2021 at 12:29 am

      Apple will give you $210 trade in value for your 6 series, so you’re really be paying $249 for the 45mm 7 series. Mine will be arriving Friday.

  17. ecute rocks

    October 27, 2021 at 4:54 am

    Is this a good watch if I don’t own one?

    • Numerical 999

      October 27, 2021 at 7:16 pm

      It depends on what you’ll use it for, if you just want something to tell the time, probably not since you could get something that might feel a bit more premium than a computer on your wrist. If you exercise sometimes or would just like a health companion, it’s a pretty good buy. the SE is cheaper, with some drawbacks in features but read into that and see what you will actually use. 🙂

    Who here is waiting for a circular Apple Watch?

    • Brian Buchert

      October 28, 2021 at 1:25 pm

      I’ve thought about a round one then I wonder if you would get the same amount of info on it? That’s one thing I like about the galaxy is it’s shape oh yeah and you get tons of cool watch faces! I wish Apple would make faces available from other watches!

  19. GoGreenAndGameOn

    October 27, 2021 at 6:08 am

    I don’t know why nobody has doubled the screen size horizontally. It’s not like it would be that big to wear, might as well put a complete phone on the wrist already instead.

  20. BEATERTV

    October 27, 2021 at 8:45 am

    Terrible review, the screen size difference alone (bigger) makes it a great upgrade

    • mohan raj

      October 27, 2021 at 10:07 am

      If u own a series 4 or older sure, but most ppl who own a series 6 or 5 have very little reason to upgrade as pointed by the reviewer.

    Even those tech reviewers can’t say why people should upgrade.
    Come on Apple!!

    I still believe Casio F91 W is far better then any apple Watch🙂⌚

    • Brian Buchert

      October 28, 2021 at 1:18 pm

      Yeah because it does so much lol but seriously I see your point if it were just about telling time I would agree as I love my Casios and G-SHOCK watches but this series 7 does help me track my health very easily but it’ll never replace my “ real” watches

  26. Nabeel Rehan

    October 27, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Nothing new in series7..1mm for additional its not a big deal ..same curved screen like previous series ..Apple making fools to the world if they change only apple crown in big size ..world will buy it only for bigger crown ..how stupid people are ..im good in series 5 ..

    • Grigori Rasputin

      October 28, 2021 at 7:29 am

      To find a “good deal” on series 7 you have to wait until series 8 come out

    October 27, 2021 at 11:15 pm

    i think i’ll stick to my 6

  29. Yeayea

    October 28, 2021 at 12:12 am

    If a bigger screen is modest than what would be a large upgrade? I think we’re reaching for the stars. This is as good as it gets.
