Apple's wearable continues to improve year on year. The Series 7 introduces a larger and brighter screen, further showing off why it's the best smartwatch on the market. However, the battery life is still only good for one day per charge.

Bigger screen is better, Supports previous Apple Watch straps, Dust- and water-proof design

Battery life still only a day per charge, Are all those sensors truly necessary?

The Apple Watch Series 7 uses its bigger screen to great effect, giving a genuine upgrade over older models or the Apple Watch SE. It's a beautiful, fast and truly useful premium smartwatch, and is easily the best of its kind for iPhone owners.

Bigger screen, smaller bezels, Fast to charge, Very slick to use, Easy health & fitness features

Battery life is still 1 day, Sleep tracking still weak, Limited for hardcore fitness users

Apple’s yearly update has given the Apple Watch Series 7 a bigger display amid other refinements – but is it worth upgrading?

New size is very welcome, Brilliantly bright display, New colour cases, So many watch face options

Watch SE better value for many, Fast charging requires specific cable, Battery life could be better

“Stylish, personalizable, powerful, reliable, and with a bigger viewing area, smaller bezels, and faster charging than before, the Apple Watch Series 7 is the best smartwatch you can buy.”

Large screen, small bezels, Easily personalized, Choice of models and sizes, Comprehensive health tracking, Reliable software and notifications, Fast charging, Stronger and tougher than before

Only works with the iPhone

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The display is the key upgrade on this Watch and it looks fantastic

Stunning display, Improved robustness, Faster charging

With more screen real estate, improved durability, and faster charging, the Apple Watch Series 7 retains its crown as the best smartwatch on the market.

Larger display than previous models, Faster charging, Improved durability, New watch colors and faces

No major feature updates from last generation, One-day battery life remains the same

Despite appearances this is a pretty big leap for Apple Watch, and the new display is killer.

Awesome larger display, Faster charging, All-day battery life, Always-on now brighter

No new health features, Limited upgrade over Series 6

It might not be the redesign some had hoped for, but the larger display really makes a difference to the Apple Watch experience on offer – and improved charging speeds are a nice touch too.

Fast charging speeds, Noticeably larger display, A feature-packed software experience

Same 18-hour battery life, No new sensors

This is a Series 6 with a slightly larger display. That makes it better, technically, but it’s a disappointingly small improvement that has us thinking Apple should have skipped a year.

Bigger display with thinner bezels, Faster charging

Barely an upgrade from Series 6, Colors are arguably worse
