today i’ll talk about apple watch series 7 hey what’s going on everyone Akash here
and the wait will soon be over for
anyone out there who want it an apple watch series 7
because after a strange
announcement with a cryptic release date
of sometime this fall.

we finally have a pre-order date and a
release date for the apple watch series 7
so for this post, I want to go over
everything new with the apple watch
series 7 which model you should buy and
if you should even buy an apple watch
series 7 or maybe go for some cheaper
options like the apple watch SE or the
apple watch series 3 which still remain
in the lineup alright first let’s do a
refresher on what’s new with the series 7.
first of all,
let’s start with the the biggest change

that is the new design the apple watch series 7 2021 is a refinement over
the series 6 with what Apple says is a
softer more rounded design and a bigger
display on both models the smaller
version is moving up from a 40

millimeter case size to a 41 millimeter
case size and the 44-millimeter option
is moving up to a 45-millimeter option
these minor adjustments in case sizes
leads to a much larger display though
with the series 7 apple watch shrinking

the bezels or border around the watch by
up to 40 which apple says will allow for
up to 20 percent more display area and
because the casing hasn’t changed that
much older watch bands will still work
with these new watch models and the new
watch bands will work with the old watch
models.
Apple said :
that this new design
creates a display that has a unique
refractive edge that makes fullscreen
watch faces and apps appear to
seamlessly connect with the curvature of
the apple watch case which means that
when you view the watch series 7 2021

the display should appear to kind of be
hanging off the edges of the watch from
the side that should create a cool
visual effect that would differentiate
this watch from the other ones in the
lineup also because these watches have
bigger displays.
Apple is also trying to make the watches more useful with a new fully optimized user interface

which will have easier to tap touch targets
with bigger buttons and ui elements and
new watch faces to take advantage of the
larger display like the continuum watch
face which will have numbers wrap around
the edges of the display and the modular
max watch face which can show off two
big longer complications on the watch
first time ever on an apple watch a native apple watch keyboard.

where you can actually tap to type on
this really small display or use this as a swipe keyboard.
if this is a useful addition this could
really go a long way in making the watch
easier to send messages on search for apps enter passwords
and as an important step to what i think could be
a apple watch as an independent device

where you kind of have all the elements
you need to navigate the user interface
and really when you look at the apple watch series 7 2021
and the apple watch series 6 even though
you know there’s just a few changes
after this to talk about the major
upgrade here really is the bigger
display but those displays will also now
be brighter when displaying an always-on
watch face with apple saying it will
have a 70 percent brighter always on
display indoors other changes for the
series 7 include a new durable design
that in part is due to the thicker

crystal on the watch series 7 2021 which will be 50
thicker and it will have a redesigned
crystal design with a flat base which
Apple is saying will make it more
resistant to cracking if you fall or watch
drop the watch these are important
changes especially to the base model

aluminum apple watch but what’s not
clear is if these durability changes
will also come over to the more premium
stainless steel and titanium watches
which already have a sapphire crystal
which is more prone to shattering but
actually less resistant to scratches but
i’ll actually cover that a little bit more in depth

when we go over the
different models and whether the
sapphire is worth it for increased
scratch resistance.
now the series 7 will also be getting faster charging

which should be 33 percent faster than the series 6.
and should be able to get you an eight
hour sleep tracking charge in just eight
minutes. so this will be a nice upgrade
for people who use the watch for its
sleep tracking capabilities.
this will also be the first apple watch to ship by default with a usb-c

apple watch charging pluck and it sounds
like this cable will be necessary to get
the faster-charging speeds that the
apple watch series 7 2021 offers.
performance
now don’t be fooled the apple watch series 7 2021 may be listed as having a new S7 chip.
but when you dig into the tech
specs you can see that they are exactly

the same as the series 6 chip. so the
watch series 7 2021 will have no speed improvements.
and should perform exactly the same as
the series 6. this is the second time in
a row that apple has skipped upgrading
the performance of the chip with the
series 5 having the same exact
performance as the series 4 and now the
series 6 having the same exact
performance as the series 7 which may
actually indicate that the apple watch
chip upgrade cycle is actually on a

two-year timeline schedule compared to
the iPhone where they get a speed
improvement every single year with the a
series chips finally the series 7 will
also, get some new color finishes with
the aluminum model now shipping with 5
colors starlight midnight blue-green and
a product red version but other than
those changes everything should be the
same as the series 6 including the

health sensors with a heart rate monitor
ECG reading on your wrist and the blood
oxygen sensor.
battery life

apple is saying that
you will get the same 18 hours of
battery life on the series 7 that you
currently get with the series 6.
pricing watch series 7

as for pricing the series 7 will start at 399 dollars.
for a wi-fi 41 millimeter version and
although the pricing isn’t up yet for
the series 7 we can probably assume the
same you know prices as the series 6. so
if you want the 45 millimeter version
expect to pay an additional 29 dollars for the
bigger size and if you want to add

cellular on either watches
expect to pay a 100 dollars upgrade as for
whether or not you should get the wi-fi
or the cellular version that is personal
preference if you want to have your
watch always be connected even when you
leave your phone at home or in case of
emergencies the cellular upgrade is well
worth it for that added sense of
security and personally when you know
like exercise outside. i like to leave my
phone at home and just take along my
cellular apple watch to track my runs
and then stream music uh from apple
music to my airpods and then also i
don’t miss out on any important calls or
messages or notifications or anything like that
just be made aware that even with the
100 upgrade price to the cellular model
you also have to add this to your
cellular service and that usually
results in around a 10 additional
monthly charge on your cellular bill as
for casing material options you may like
the look of stainless steel or titanium

more than the aluminum models and i do
find that these watches tend to look a lot better in person.
for the stainless steel you’ll be paying a hefty upgrade
though 699 dollars for the 41 millimeter
version and 750 dollars for the 45
millimeter version the titanium is even
more expensive with an additional 100
upgrade on both models with the starting
price of the 41-millimeter version starting at 799$

again whether you should get the
different materials are personal
preference here if you want to spend
more for a better-looking watch one that
maybe you’re going to keep for a long time
I think the stainless steel and titaniumare worth it .
and they do come with an
additional cellular service as a
standard so there’s no additional upgrade there
aside from the more premium
materials it does have a sapphire
crystal instead of a glass display front
based on my experience with previous
watches with both different materials i
usually tend to have small scratches
appear on my aluminum apple watch and
you can kind of see them when the display is off
uh but with the sapphire versions on my titanium apple watch
it was very scratch resistant I have
never gotten a scratch on the sapphire
crystal on the apple watch so if you
want to make sure that your apple watch
never scratches uh the sapphire version should provide that
as for when you can get this watch series 7
pre-orders start on Friday, October 8th
at 8 am eastern standard time and if you
want a watch on day one make sure you
get your pre-order in on that day as
this apple watch has already faced
production delays so there may not be a
A huge amount of these watches are available
at launch as for when you can go and
pick these up in stores you can do that
starting Friday, October 15th which is
one week after pre-orders all right
let’s cover some buying advice.
now if you have an apple watch series 6
I really don’t think there’s a huge reason
to go out and run to upgrade to an apple watch series 7.
the bigger display sounds nice but other

then that we’re not dealing with a
generational chip change here so the
Series six and series seven should
probably receive the same amount of
software support and updates
and even if you’re on like the series 5
with the always-on display there really
maybe little reason to upgrade here but
if you are on a series 4 or older i
actually think this is a good time to
upgrade for the new design and all of
the features you missed out on over the
previous years.
what about another option
maybe you don’t have enough money
for a series seven well there’s two
other watches in this lineup are still the
apple watch SE and the apple watch
series three for the SE I think this is
a great watch to buy if you’re looking
to save some money and if this is your

first apple watch you get the most
important features out of the apple
watch like activity tracking heart rate
monitoring along with fall detection
even if you lose out on the ecg and
blood oxygen sensors i think for most
users you really don’t need those
features especially if you are young and
healthy or you don’t have a family
history of heart-related issues because
for me personally, I’ve used the ECG to
measure uh you know to see if I had like
an irregular heartbeat and I never had
one and I don’t find the blood oxygen sensor all that useful
you also lose the always-on display
I don’t think that’s a big deal either
if you mostly use your watch as an
activity tracker and the wrist detection
for checking the time is usually good
enough that i think you’ll rarely miss

out on the always-on display although i
must admit uh one thing I like about the
always-on display is it does make the
watch look a lot nicer when it’s resting
at your wrist so if looks are your
number one priority you may want to
upgrade to the series 7 which I think
also has a better look this year with
the reduced bezels now the SE does come
in at 279 dollars for the 40 millimeter
version but I think the biggest deciding
the factor for this watch is if you want the
cellular service and want to pay under
400 dollars because these optional cellulars
the network upgrade is a 50 upgrade on these
models as opposed to the 100 upgrade
found on the series 6 and i assume the
series 7. so you can get a cellular
apple watch SE for 329 dollar
so from a value perspective,
the SE is probably the first watch you should be looking at
especially if you are new to the apple
watch or if you have a watch that is
older than the watch series 4. as for the
series 3 listen i know the 200 price
point may look attractive at first
but trust me just spend the extra 79 on
the SE i really do not recommend the series 3
especially in 2021 because of its
outdated design slower performance and
the low amount of internal storage which
is just 8 gigabytes and because the
storage is so low you are now required
to completely reset your watch if you
want to update watch os and this is just
a time consuming and laborious process
that makes it a bad experience for
anyone buying the series 3 today in 2021
so i would not recommend the apple watch series 3 to
anyone at this point please just save a
little bit longer 79 more is not a lot
of money when you consider that the sc
is going to receive more software
updates and just be a better experience
two or three years down the line all
right everyone and those are my series 7
and apple watch se buying
