Not a significant upgrade over the Series 6, Design is still similar to previous Apple Watches, Pricey

Coming as a surprise to absolutely no one, the Apple Watch Series 7 is the best smartwatch out there. The...

The bigger display makes things easier to see and read. Fast charging. It's the best smartwatch for iPhone users.

Battery life is still one day. Design changes are too subtle.

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.

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

No new health features, Limited upgrade over Series 6

Barely an upgrade from Series 6, Colors are arguably worse

This new iterative smartwatch focuses on biking, and the battery life still stinks.
