There is another improvement that the seventh series received - this is fast charging. In any case, Series 7 charges very quickly. I usually managed to charge the watch in an hour and a half. Someone will say that this is too much for such a baby. However, if you decide to leave the watch to charge overnight, then this will not bother you. Moreover, you'll need to charge them every night because the Series 7 offers 18 hours of battery life on a single charge.
After I took the gadget off charge at about eight in the morning, it lost about 30% of the charge by half past eleven.
So much for 18 hours of battery life! Apple went on to promise that the Series7 can be charged in 8 minutes to track eight hours of sleep. I am uncomfortable sleeping in the watch, but if you are comfortable, then make sure you recharge the battery for about 10 minutes to try it out.
In conclusion, the seventh generation smartwatch received five new colors. Our smartwatch in Starlight color. You can also choose between green, blue, red and dark night. Otherwise, those looking for an even more premium Apple Watch can opt for a stainless steel option that comes in Silver, Graphite, and Gold. Finally, there is the premium titanium case, available in natural and space black colors. As expected, you can swap and select different bands and bracelets for your Apple Watch. Sport bands, loop bands, and leather bands from older versions of Apple Watch are still Series 7 compatible.
Apple Watch Series 7 is available in colors:
green
blue
Red
"dark night"
In terms of software, the Apple Watch Series 7 comes with watchOS 8 installed right out of the box. Apple introduced bike fall detection in a new system update. It also identifies some exercises when you are on the move. For example, the watch will ask you if you are cycling if it detects it. Even if you read the notification after a couple of minutes and decide to delete it, the watch will still show you the corresponding data from the moment it recorded a specific exercise, as in my case with a bicycle.
However, there are examples where the watch misidentified riding a motorcycle as riding a bicycle. Series 7 watches also make mistakes in step counting, which can be due to slow walking and GPS detecting coordinate changes.
watchOS 8 also provides two new training modes called Tai Chi and Pilates. You can find these modes by scrolling through the workout section. It would be great to have an easy way to type and find workouts in watchOS 8.
The Apple Watch Series 7, however, is the first smartwatch from Apple to be IP6X certified for dust resistance. And they are still marked WR-50, which means you can dive 50m with them. under the water.
WHAT HASN'T CHANGED
A characteristic feature of the Series 7 is the S6 processor, which is also found in the sixth series. In the event that you are worried despite having an older generation, the representative of the seventh series works quite quickly. I haven't noticed a single instance of lags or freezes while doing various tasks on my Apple Watch Series 7. Whether it's switching songs, replying to WhatsApp messages, or starting a workout.
They also received functions that are always displayed on the display: monitoring the carbon dioxide content, measuring heart rate, tracking sleep, etc., which were detailed in our review of the previous generation watch. In terms of training modes, Series 7 supports a variety of exercises, including the new Tai Chi and Pilates modes. You can still view all of your workouts and health data in the Health app on your iPhone.
VERDICT
So, do you need to buy an Apple Watch Series 7? As I noted above, Apple Watch Series 7 is the next update to Series 6. Users with a sixth generation gadget can skip the new Apple Watch even if they want a larger display and new watch faces exclusive to the seventh revision.
Apple Watch users who own Series 4 and Series 5 can definitely upgrade to Series 7 for the sake of the improvements that Series 7 comes with. It goes without saying that the Apple Watch Series 7 will be a significant upgrade for those using the Apple Watch Series 3.
You not only get a larger display and a new design, but also increased battery capacity and a faster processor under the hood. While Series 3 supports watchOS 8, this should be the last major software update for this generation. Owners of the IPhone 13 and IPhone 13 Pro, or other recent IPhone models, may consider purchasing a new Apple Watch.
