Apple Watch Series 7 Review

Nobody can deny that the Apple Watch won the smartwatch wars, and the latest Apple Watch Series 7 only extends that lead. A collection of endearing enhancements rather than the all-out reinvention …

Bigger display ; Faster charging ; On-screen keyboard massively improves text-entry ; Improved fitness tracking

Still just 1 day of battery life ; Dedicated fitness wearables offer more tracking features

Apple Watch Series 7 review

Apple's latest watch, the Apple Watch Series 7, is its best effort yet - but is it worth picking up?

Larger display ; Still the most versatile smartwatch out there

Lacking in big new features ; Battery life is still an issue for sleep tracking

The Apple Watch Series 7 is the best Apple Watch yet, but it’s unlikely to be a worthy upgrade if you’ve already got a Series 5 or 6.
