Apple’s watch faces have evolved a lot, especially in WatchOS 7 and WatchOS 8, becoming classier and more visually exciting, rather than just adding complications. While this is also true for some fitness bands, the difference is that the Apple Watch looks good, and it’s incredibly easy to change the complete look of it if you get bored. The gentle curve of the case makes it very comfortable to wear, regardless of which strap you choose, and it’s really light at 38.8 grams without the strap, meaning you can wear it day and night.
The Series 7 looks fantastic, and the Apple Watch has become a style icon, in my opinion. It would be easy to chastise Apple for not changing the design much, but it hasn’t done so because it doesn’t need to. If you have a strap collection from an existing Apple Watch, they will all fit with the Series 7 perfectly, just in case you are worried the 1mm size increase would make them look odd.
The version in our photos is an aluminum model in Midnight, which is black in color with a hint of blue, and I chose it as it’s easier to match with more strap options, unlike the blue or green versions. The Ion-X glass over the screen has a contoured edge, so the screen appears to curve toward the case, just like a curved screen on a smartphone. Apple says there’s 20% more screen area visible compared to the Series 6 and the Watch SE, and 50% more than the Apple Watch Series 3. What you do notice are the much smaller 1.7mm bezels, down from 3mm on the Series 6, and the increase in viewing area. The speaker on the left-hand side of the case is a single slit rather than the dual slits on the Series 6, but that’s about as obvious as the visual alterations get. The 1mm increase in case size - 45mm and 41mm for the Series 7 versus 44mm and 40mm for the Series 6 - is only clear if you get a tape measure out, and the slightly greater curve at each edge is only evident if you put the two watches next to each other and look really closely. It’s pretty much impossible to tell the difference between the Series 7 and the Series 6 just by glancing at them.
