With a bigger and better screen, plus new fast-charging capabilities, the Apple Watch Series 7 is more convenient and easier to use for even more people. Combined with all the smart features and health/fitness options the Apple Watch already has, we think it’s the best the company has produced so far.
There are few flashy new features here. By far the most notable change is the new screen, which is 20% larger by area than the screen on the Apple Watch Series 6. To accommodate it, the bezels have been shrunk to 1.7mm, so it looks more than ever as if the pixels reach right to the metal frame.
The new larger screen on the Apple Watch Series 7 is interesting, because the pitch here is not just ‘more screen = better’. Apple has changed watchOS to fit more on the screen when it comes to things like displaying messages or looking at maps.
It’s also made the sizes of common on-screen buttons larger, and they’re significantly easier to hit than on previous models as a result. This makes it easier to quickly tap something accurately while walking, but it also improves the accessibility of the Watch overall. It makes it a better device for the elderly or anyone with some slight mobility or precision issues – people for whom its health features can be a real boon.
Along similar lines, the bigger screen is ideal for those who need to make the text larger to find it legible, since boosting its size doesn’t mean you can only fit a few words on there without needing to scroll.
