Apple Watch Series 7 specifications, features
The Apple Watch Series 7 features a new Always-On Retina display that has 1.7mm thin bezels to provide a larger viewing area over the existing Apple Watch models. The new option also comes with an IP6X certification for resistance to dust — alongside maintaining the existing WR50 water resistance rating.
Similar to the previous model, the Apple Watch Series 7 is equipped with blood oxygen (SpO2) and electrical heart sensors to provide vitals measurement and tracking on-the-go. There is also watchOS 8 that brings features such as the new Mindfulness app to help users reduce their stress levels.
Additionally, the Apple Watch Series 7 comes preloaded with a new QWERTY keyboard, plus two unique watch faces — Contour and Modular Duo.
The Apple Watch Series 7 is claimed to deliver the same 18-hour battery life that is available on the Apple Watch Series 6. However, as an upgrade, the new model is claimed to have 33 percent faster charging.
