Apple Watch Series 7 preorders are live here’s everything you need to know.
The Apple Watch Series 7 was introduced in September with the iPhone 13 family,
but preorders for the wristwatch are just now available.
The Series 7 doesn’t differ much from the Series 6,
and it starts at $399 — but prices vary based on size, case material, and Wi-Fi vs. cellular.
Along with the SE (beginning at $279) and Series 3 (starting at $199), the Series 7 replaces the Series 6 as the main choice.

What you need to know about the Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch Series 7 has a bigger Retina display that extends all the way to the edges.
It has a 20% larger display than the Series 6, allowing you to view more –
whether it’s a huge text message or a long email. The Apple Watch hasn’t grown any bigger,
but the bezels surrounding the display have shrunk to approximately 1.7 millimetres thick to allow additional screen area.
The Series 7 will be available in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm,
which reflect the watch’s small and big sizes, respectively.
Both of these Apple Watch sizes are approximately a millimetre bigger than prior models. Apple also claims that the display is 70% brighter,
making content more vivid and easier to view in low-light situations. Another advantage is that,
since it’s an always-on display (meaning the screen never goes dark and important elements are always visible) — a major distinction between the Series 7 and the SE — it should be simpler to look at your wrist for information rather than lifting it.
WatchOS 8 and the general UI have been changed to make use of the bigger display here.
Buttons are bigger and simpler to press,
and new watch faces that extend to the border of the screen are available.
All of the traditional applications have been upgraded to make use of the bigger display, including activity, fitness, messages, phone, calendar,
and pictures (e.g., showing more on a screen or the ability to type on a full keyboard).
Because it utilises the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 6,
we anticipate comparable performance in any application. However, we don’t anticipate substantial gains in performance this year.
A bigger display implies more glass and a greater surface area, but Apple guarantees a front display that won’t shatter.
This will be put to the test, but it should be more resistant to scratches and drops.
The Series 7 is also the first Apple Watch to be dust-resistant (IP6X certified) while maintaining the water resistance (WR50 rated) of prior versions.
There are no improvements in terms of health or exercise monitoring.
The Apple Watch Series 7 can monitor your activity, heart rate, ECG, detect a fall,
and even test blood oxygen levels, much like the Apple Watch Series 6.
The Series 7 has the same upgraded sensor as the Series 6, which debuted on the Series 6.
You may assume Apple stuffed a fresh battery inside, but the company still guarantees “all-day” battery life, which translates to about 18 hours.
Faster charging, which may provide eight hours of battery life in only eight minutes, is the most important improvement.
This is a big improvement over prior versions, and it may be the answer to some customers’ sleep tracking battery problems.
Apple will provide this improved charging cable in the package, which will allow for faster charging. However, there is no charging brick provided.
And there’s more good news: all prior Apple Watch bands are now supported.
This is a significant benefit since existing Apple Watch users will not need new bands for the Series 7.
The aluminium Series 7 comes in four new colours: Midnight, Starlight, green, blue, and Product Red.
Stainless steel versions come in three colours: silver, graphite, and gold.
