El yesterday's event It was aimed at several new Big Apple products. According to rumors, the Apple Watch was going to be one of the devices that would receive the most changes, even there was talk of a profound redesign. However the Apple Watch Series 7 did not give that profound change on a visual level and therefore many users were frustrated by the rumors of the last few months. The new Apple watch has a larger screen, new customizable dials, and faster loading than previous generations. We tell you all the news about this new device below.
All screen: the Apple Watch Series 7 with 40% fewer frames
One of the goals that Apple sets itself with the launch of a new Apple Watch is to increase the screen. In this case, they echo that they have increased 50% display area compared to Apple Watch Series 3. They have been commissioned to remove frames and expand the screen, reducing the frames by 40% and achieving a 20% more viewing than in Series 6.
The Apple Watch Series 7 screen is a Always-on OLED Retina display which has been redesigned having thinner edges. In fact, the touch sensor and the OLED panel now reside in a single piece so the thickness of the screen has decreased, taking up less space and providing other optimization options for the interior of the device.
This Retina display continues to support the 'Always On' option, which allows the display to always be on displaying valuable information. In fact, the Apple Watch Series 7 and its screen is now 70% brighter indoors when you have this feature enabled.
Design goes way beyond the screen
For Apple, design goes far beyond the screen. A completely renovated design was expected, abandoning the curves to make way for a more square case in the style of iPhone 12. However, what we have is an Apple Watch Series 7 with a continuous design where it stays the curved screen and a sturdy chassis. This resistance also reaches the front where it has also been affected to increase the hardness of the screen.
The front glass above the screen has been modified making it more solid and shock resistant. At the data level, this glass is 50% thicker than the Apple Watch Series 6 so a priori it is twice as resistant. They continue to certify the resistance to dust, water and shocks, as in previous generations. At the aquatic level it is resistant up to 50 meters deep.
The overall design of the Series 7 stands out for its soft, rounded corners and a Refractive edge of the screen. This edge reveals the end of the screen and the beginning of the box itself. This allows you to play with the spheres that can occupy the entire screen in order to optimize the available space.
Two new custom dials have also been included to optimize screen size: Contour and Modular Duo.
Maintenance of health options: ECG, O2 and heart rate
The Apple Watch Series 7 does not include new health sensors. In fact, all the Series 6 sensors are maintained. Among them we find the possibility of perform electrocardiograms in lead I, take heart rate and measure blood oxygen saturation. This data is analyzed through watchOS 8 and allows to send notifications to the user either through recommendations or notices.
The watchOS 8 update introduces new changes at the Health level such as the detection of the number of breaths per minute which they add as a parameter for sleep analysis. The Series 7 also supports the redesigned Crash Detection feature of the new operating system that will see the light of day in the coming weeks.
A new 33% faster charging system
The new charging system of the Apple Watch Series 7 is 33% faster than Series 6. In fact, Apple promises that with an 8-minute charge, 8-hour sleep data can be recorded. It is a great fact since many users charge the watch at night to have a battery in the morning, thus depriving themselves of sleep monitoring that provides relevant information for the user.
This new system is due to USB-C charging cable that has integrated Apple In the Series 6. In addition, it is highlighted that only the Series 7 is compatible with this fast charge, even with the new cable, the rest of the watches will take the usual time to fully charge their battery.
The perfect companion for the Apple Watch Series 7: watchOS 8
watchOS 8 is Apple's next operating system for your Apple Watch. When the first Apple Watch Series 7 starts shipping, they will already have this system installed by default. The novelties lie above all in applications that allow you to increase the functionality of the device y new spheres that allow you to customize the watch.
Among them, there is a new sphere that integrates photos in portrait mode taken with the iPhone, the ease with which images are sent in Messages or the integration of keys to open smart doors. Also added Concentration modes which are predefined settings to avoid distractions when we perform different tasks. All of these features will ensure that Apple Watch Series 7 can deliver its best performance on key features.
Accessories for the new Apple watch
New straps have also been released for the Apple Watch Nike and Hermès. The renewed Nike sport loop includes three new colors and includes the Nike Swosh logo and logo text incorporated into the strap fabric. This strap goes with the new Nike Bounce dial that has custom animations associated with the movement of the wrist, the Digital Crown or the touch on the screen.
In the Apple Watch Hermès they have been included Circuit H y the Gourmette Double Tour that give a touch of glamor to the new smartwatch of the big apple. The latter pays homage to Hermès necklaces from the 30s with links that are interlaced in supple leather. New colors are added to these two new straps for the existing Hermès Classic, Attelage and Jumping straps.
Availability and finishes of Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch Series 7 is available in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm, as in previous generations. The finish is available in stainless steel, aluminum or titanium. Four new colors are offered within the aluminum finish: Green, Blue, (PRODUCT) RED, Star White, and Midnight.
Will be available this fall and will start at $ 399. In addition, Apple has decided to market in addition to the Series 7, the Series 6 (from $ 279), the SE (From € 299) and the Series 3 (from € 219).
In other words, a watch that does not add anything new compared to the 6 series.
