The Apple Watch Series 7 features what Apple calls a “refined design” with “softer, more rounded corners.” The Watch is available in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Apple says it uses a “unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case.”
The wearable’s larger screen allows users to take advantage of the new ways watchOS 8 has been changed to take advantage of the larger display:
The user interface is optimized to take advantage of the shape and size of the new display. Apple Watch Series 7 offers two additional larger font sizes, and a new QWERTY keyboard that can be tapped or swiped with QuickPath — allowing users to slide a finger to type — and utilizes on-device machine learning to anticipate the next word based on the context, making text entry easier and faster. With watchOS 8, larger menu titles and buttons in apps like Stopwatch, Activity, and Alarms also make the screen even simpler to interact with.
The Apple Watch Series 7 is available in the following options, with GPS or GPS + Cellular connectivity.
Aluminum
Stainless Steel
Titanium
In the box with your Apple Watch Series 7, you’ll get a new USB-C charging cable, but no charging brick.
The Apple Watch Series 7 will start at $399 for the entry-level 41mm aluminum model with GPS connectivity. The first orders will arrive in one week, on Friday, October 15.
