Apple Watch is getting a new model, aimed at enhancing those who like to stay active
When there are new iPhones, there can’t be a new Apple Watch far behind and that is true today, as Apple have announced Watch Series 7, with a larger display and more of a focus on health and activity.
The design of Apple Watch Series 7 has been refined with softer, more rounded corners, and the display has a unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case. Plus the display of Apple Watch Series 7 offers nearly 20 per cent more screen area and thinner borders at just 1.7 mm — 40 per cent smaller than those on Apple Watch Series 6
Apple Watch Series 7 also features a user interface optimised for the larger display, offering greater readability and ease of use, plus two unique watch faces — Contour and Modular Duo — designed specifically for the new device. With the improvements to the display, users benefit from the same all-day 18-hour battery life, now complemented by 33 per cent faster charging.
Apple Watch Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever, with a stronger, more crack-resistant front crystal. It is the first Apple Watch to have an IP6X certification for resistance to dust, and maintains a WR50 water resistance rating.
“Apple Watch Series 7 delivers significant improvements — from our largest and most advanced display, to enhanced durability and faster charging — making the world’s best smartwatch better than ever before,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “Powered by watchOS 8, Apple Watch brings useful new capabilities to help customers stay connected, track activity and workouts, and better understand their overall health and wellness.”
Apple Watch Series 7 introduces five beautiful new aluminium case finishes, along with a range of new band colours and styles. The entire Apple Watch Series 7 line-up will be available later this year.
One thing we do know is that the Apple Watch Series 7 collection will come in five brand new aluminium case colours, including midnight, starlight, green, and a new blue and (PRODUCT)RED, along with an exciting palette of Apple Watch bands compatible with all models of Apple Watch.
The only thing Apple haven’t announced for the Watch Series 7 is pricing or when folks can get it, they have committed to releasing it later in the year, but that is all.
Given that the Watch Series 6 starts at $599 here, expect the Series 7 to be even higher, then depending on size of the screen and other features, the price will go up from there.
