More screens, fewer frames
As rumored, the new Apple Watch comes with a major change in design, and that is that its bezels have been reduced to a minimum. Apple talks about a 40% reduction in bezels, now going edge-to-edge panel. Similarly, the screen is promised to be 70% brighter, a significant leap for better viewing of the panel outdoors.
As we have already seen in previous generations, it has an always-on-screen option. You don’t need to lift your wrist to activate it, it stays always on. If we do not like the excess battery that this consumes, we can deactivate it from the settings.
The design remains practically identical, with a rounded body and the crown in the upper right part. The box is once again made of aluminum, with a little more curvature than in the previous generation, like the panel.
The user interface has been redesigned to accommodate the new screen size. Apple promises that the Series 7 will fit 50% more text than the Series 7. In the same way, they boast resistance, with break-resistant glass and with IP6X protocol and WD50 resistance.
The fast charging of the device has also been improved. The new Apple Watch Series 7 promises 33% faster charging compared to Series 6, and an 8-minute charge is enough to have enough battery to last a night of sleep monitoring.
Luckily, fears about new band sizes are not fulfilled: the bands of your old Apple Watch are compatible with the Series 7, which shares the same size as the rest of the models.
A health-oriented device
Health features continue to take center stage on the Apple Watch. In this generation, we repeat the measurement of oxygen in the blood, in addition to being able to perform electrocardiograms (for informational purposes, not valid as medical tests).
New sports modes, such as Tai Chi or Pilates, are also added to the list of current modes. The Series 7 arrives with WatchOS 8, so we will have all the news at the software level related to stress measurement, sleep, the Fitness app, and more.
