Apple has officially announced its latest Apple Watch Series 7 devices and comes with a brand new look as compared to the previous models.
The new Apple Watch Series 7 now comes with slimmer bezels and measures only 1.7mm, along with the screen that now reaches the edge of the display, while the size of the watch is only slightly bigger. Apple also mentions that the always-on screen mode of the new devices is 70% brighter. You will now be able to see about 50% more text on the screen as compared to the previous generation Series 6 Apple Watches.
Apple has also preloaded the new watches with new watchfaces that make use of the new large screen estate. The display is now crack resistant and now is certified with an IP6X rating. This means now consumers will be able to use the new devices in sandy and dusty conditions. While the Series 7 comes with the same sensors, chipsets, and also battery life that lasts up to 18 hours, the device charges up to 33% faster with the new USB-C charger. About eight minutes of charging delivers up to eight hours of battery life.
Apple has also added some new features to the watchOS 8, which now includes better support for outdoor cycling and the ability to auto-pause the workout session when you take a break. The Series 7 also brings support for fall detection during workouts and can contact emergency services if you happen to accidentally injure yourself. Apple also announced the availability of the new Apple Fitness Plus for many countries including the UAE, with new features such as Group Workouts that lets you workout with a friend or among a group (for Fitness Plus subscribers) and Pilates.
The Apple Watch Series 7 comes in 41mm and 45mm sizes and the aluminum variant comes in black, gold, blue, red, and a dark green color. The new watches will be available later this year.
