- They said it was not a big upgrade... but they lied. I noticed the upgrade on the setup screen. I'm not saying it'll make you upgrade... but don't listen to anyone who tells you it doesn't feel any different.

I just bought my 84 year old Nana a Series 7 mostly for the health and safety functionality like fall detection and she loves it and it didn’t take her long to get used to it. She doesn’t use all the functions available but she definitely likes it. She also has an iPad 7th Gen and an iPhone 13 and because IOS is simple and just seems to work, it makes it all really simple and easy for her to use.
Your nana sounds really cool! I’m trying to convince my grandma(76) that she’ll love apple products, but for now she is still a septic!
Omg you must have a trendy nan,my mum can’t text honestlyand would not have a clue about a watch! She’s 87 too
g-ma up with dat ice
Nana ballin😳🤑
I'm upgrading from Series 1 to 7. It's going to be great!
Same I’ve had the series 1 for a very long time lol but now it’s time to upgrade ayyyyy
I did this exact same thing and I love the series 7! Go check out my unboxing for it!!
I went from series 3 to series 7. I’m loving my watch for sure
I went from series 3 to series 7. I’m loving my watch for sure
Can I ask you guys what the series 1 cost was back then? Just out of curiosity :). I ordered the series 7 after years of stalling! Looking forward to it!
I agree. I upgraded from the series 6 and after a week, the larger screen size and faster charging make a big difference. I wear progressive lens glasses mainly for reading and the larger screen size really helps. The series 6 is great as well. Can’t go wrong either way.
I agree. I upgraded from 6, whenever it’s a structural update, I’m always eager.
I upgraded from a Series 6 to Series 7, as well. I got the larger 45mm watch. I love it, it sure makes a difference from the smaller 6 version. Within a week of receiving the Series 6 last year I scratched the screen. URGH! Of course apple will not repair, even if I pay. I always get Apple Care as well, I wonder if it is worth it to get the Apple Care? I now bought the screen covers to protect the watch.
@@jamesvolpe7474 i got apple care once and never did it again. the fine print of the service explains that they’ll only replace the phone if there is a structural mistake with the product, but if you break it or lose it, you’re on your own
I love Apple but they really have not paid attention to the people whose eyes are less than perfect? The watch faces are always difficult to read even for me that does not need glasses! I think that’s terrible. What good is a watch face if you can’t watch it??
😭 I only farted twice because I was the only one in the room 😢 two times!! 😭
I ended up getting the smaller 41mm version because with the reduced bezels the actual screen of the 7 series is roughly the same size as my previous 44mm series 5. Because of this the smaller is less bulky than my previous one.
I’m on a 5 and just don’t see there being a good enough reason to upgrade. I’ve never said I wished the screen was larger, and I really dislike the curved edge screen, and would prefer to have a flat lens (sapphire) which means I’m going to be waiting for at least another year. The only reason I would upgrade would be if my 5 dies or really starts to lose battery life.
I have a 7 and a 5, Ι’ve also never said I wished the screen was larger etc. I still noticed right away the advantages of the 7 including the larger screen. Worth the upgrade.
I said the same thing to until I went from the series 3 to the series 6, now I love the bigger screen size. The series 7 look better when compared to the series 6.
John, agree with every word 👌
I love my Apple Watch. I am an RN, and the sweep second hand is greatly appreciated. This makes taking vital signs, etc. so much more accurate. I love the always on display which makes taking measurements at night easier.
I am an RN too and yes my Apple Watch is SO necessary for the entire shift because of the meticulous charting and documentation we have to do!
I was the same way. Immediately noticed the upgrade from the S6, and can't understand how others can't tell the difference. It's massive!
I'm looking into it heavily maybe cellular since I only have the iPad pro 2021 and not an iPhone currently looks amazing and the health features I may end up needing since I'm dealing with alot of health issues right now
@@IDrawToothpicks
I’m no expert, but I think owning an iPhone is mandatory as I don’t believe you can set up an Apple Watch on an iPad. I suggest you check that before you buy.
@@IDrawToothpicks Fred is correct here. You need an iPhone to use an Apple Watch.
I’ve had 2, 3, 4, and 6. I’m going to upgrade to the 7-mostly because of the QWERTY keyboard and trade in will make it $12/month. I like being able to see emails and chat messages from work without having to carry my phone everywhere. Larger fonts are a plus for my older eyes. I just hope I can find my favorite snap on case covers. They protect it from bumps and scrapes.
Hi, that’s all true but I’m not sure if you’d need a case cover, if you’re someone who bumps your watch around a lot on walls etc. definetly get one, otherwise don’t bother cuz the watch itself is really durable even without a case cover
Thanks for the info. I’m upgrading from the series 4. My blue one should arrive next week.
I totally agree, I’ve owned every Apple Watch and the screen size makes a massive difference. Texting, notes, alerts, news notifications, nearly everything is there, easy to read and far more useful than v6. I was skeptical but my grandson broke his watch, got my v6 so I got v7.
It’s really a big difference.
I’m not really a fan of the “curve” though.
Bit like when I recently bought my iPhone 12 Pro to replace the iPhone 8 Plus. I initially wanted the LiDAR but appreciated the accumulation of improvements between the two. The 8 plus still functions flawlessly and I didn’t think I would benefit from a new phone. To upgrade every year brings minimal increments. BTW I never purchased an Apple Watch as I have a titanium Seiko and I love it so the 7 series will be my first experience. Still tossing up between the aluminium or stainless steel and the crystal vs sapphire glass.
The difference between the 12 and 13 is so much smoother with that 120 hz screen on the 13- if you get an opportunity, return it!
The 7 stainless steel is way more durable, the aluminium is a nightmare for scratching due to the screen not being sapphire
@@30mattdavies Thank you for your reply, I have ProMotion in my iPad Pro 10.5 and the 12.9 mk 3. I haven’t noticed any improvement. The UFO Test just shows 60Hz, I’m probably holding it wrong.
@@darylcheshire1618 no worries. Yep I get jelly scrolling on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and when I got the 13 there was a vast improvement. I do have to be honest though. The series 7 watch isn’t worth the upgrade (it is to you as it’s your first) but if you wanted to save money, you can buy series 6 stainless steel models. They’re all flawless and the 7 is really no difference to the 6. Good luck whatever you decide
I thought I was going to be disappointed going from the 44 mm to the 45 mm but I’m actually super happy I did. The screen isn’t that much bigger but once you start using apps you’ll actually notice a huge difference in what you can view. Maps is so much better on the watch now because you have even though it’s tiny do you have that much extra room. How do you say get frustrated with my series 4 and using maps but now I find myself using Maps on my watch more than iPhone now. I love it. I’m happy I updated.
My series 7 is very dark in dark rooms. Is it normal? My series 4 was much brighter.
I genuinely don’t understand why people think the series 6 was a bigger change YoY than the 7. Blood oxygen monitor was one of those things some people will enjoy but most people will only use once or twice. A bigger screen affects the whole experience every time you use it, plus that fast charging is really nice.
s6 also had a faster chip than s5, i believe.. so there's that.. since s7 is the same chip
I work at a mine with a series 5 and the dust and dirt have never been an issue lol
It used to be dust resistant, but now it has official rating.
I upgraded from the 5 to 7 Nike edition in Starlight and I love ❤️ it. Definitely a worthy upgrade to me. Great video
i had trouble finding the nike edition so i just got the normal 7. are there any quirks about the nike version that you notice?
I don't think I would upgrade from a series 6 but there is definitely a much bigger difference and benefit to the larger screen of the series 7 than what most tech tubers are making it out to be. I upgraded to the 7 from the series 0 so yeah this thing rocks!
Waiting for mine to come in. Ordered today. Delivery is over 4 weeks out. My series 2 lived a nice life. Can’t wait to feel the upgrade.
Excellent review on the 7. I agree with you that series 7 is really worth upgrading to. On paper is may not look like it is worth upgrading. However, from personal experience when actually using it, definitely worth the upgrade. Very happy with 7
A friend of mine also noticed immediately that the screen was bigger. I wasn’t planning on getting a series 7 because I thought the larger screen would be subtle but it looks like it’s more than just a subtle change. When they become available again I might get one. Probably green 😊
Hi, good video as always. To get phenomenal battery life, turn off the Always On display option. Turning it off, I have noticed fantastic battery life on my Series 6. Both the 6&7 Watches are fast enough for the display to show when you look at the watch! After all day I typically have 70-80% battery remaining when I go to bed 12:00 PM to 01:00AM. That’s all day and then some. Mine is also Cellular! This includes taking/making calls!
Still rockin with Series 5 and this review convinced me a Upgrade is good!👍🏽. Thanks for the review!
Also what’s that moving display in your backgrounds. I love it!
The one thing all reviews haven't mentioned is that the largest screen helps those with poor eyesight, I am legally blind, also the dust protection is a big thing, all it takes is a micro particle to cross two junctions and your gadget is fried, years ago they finally figured out the an ant got into a super computer and fried part of the system, so yes it can happen
I know I am visually impaired too Things we need are hardly taking into consideration
@@kmannewyork 😢😢😢😢😢😢
SorryTom for being ignorant, what exactly do u mean by being “legally blind”
It means that what ever the person’s visual condition and acuity is either below or at the legal definition of poor sight We are not blind but our vision is not good enough to not depend on adaptive technology. My legal blindness is a little different because in one eye is totally blind and my other eye has very poor central vision
I'm a bit late to the party, but... I have a series 7 arriving tomorrow. It will be a decent upgrade from my series 4, which will end up as my sleep tracking watch. I used my old original (I think) Apple Watch for sleep tracking when I got the series 4, until that older watch finally gave up and fell apart a few weeks ago. Ancient-ish plus current-ish works well for me, with the two watches between them giving me 24x7 use without needing to worry about how long it takes to recharge. It's also handy when I'm away from a charger for a few days because I just take along the other watch, effectively giving me double the battery life.
I bought one home from Best Buy on release day. I have to say it’s awesome worth the upgrade from my series 6
I have been looking at Apple Watch for a while. The last watch I had was a Timex battery watch. I have been using my iPhone as my timepiece. I don’t really care about all the health apps, but now it seems like @ lot of things I could do with the watch without pull8ng my phone out of my pocket. After seeing your reviews I am thinking I might go ahead and get one.
To me it was like the accessory that I didn’t know I needed until I got one.
GET ONE , YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 😀😀
Same here 👍🏻👌🏻
Anybody got a video on how to get the most out of the watch in general? I’ve ordered my Series 7 but I’ve never had an Apple Watch at all so I’m new to it all
Good time to start it’s awesome specially the series 7
A friend gave me some advice when I got my 4. Go out a few times without your phone (if watch has cellular) and forces you to use in everyday use. You quickly find out what the pros and cons are and what works for you. I know some sleep with theirs, but for me, goes on when I wake up and off before dinner. If find texting, email viewing and the fitness very useful, but don’t use many other features all the time or the keyboard. Though, bigger screen on 7 might make that possible.
Great review. I like the Nike starlight. Should I upgrade from the SE? Thanks. Jim
Im upgrading from a S4 and I'm super happy. The only thing I didn't like was that the silver color was removed. I ordered the starlight but will see.
I love the starlight it’s like the silver and rose gold put together! I was kinda on the fence about it, but now that I’ve received it. I am definitely not disappointed!
I want a 24-hour analog watch face.
Buy a standard digital watch or a clockwork watch. A clockwork watch will likely be more environmentally friendly too, although I have no evidence for that but at least it won’t have lithium batteries.
I just upgraded last week to the 7 stainless steel from a titanium Series 3. WOW! I love the 7. I’m blown away by the screen size. I love all the extras, especially the new options with watch faces. LOVE. No regrets! Your 🤩 review encouraged me to respond!
I got the midnight blue as blue is my favourite colour and yes the first thing I noticed was the size of the screen and not only that but the clarity of the screen compared with my other series 6 Watch. The strap is softer and silky, especially on mine. But the one thing that blew my mind was the accessibility hand gestures… my head exploded with excitement at how the f did you manage to pull this off. I must admit it takes some getting used to. Overall I am happy with the series 7 but unfortunately, not everyone likes it why I don’t know l. I’ve read some crazy reviews from people that have supposedly purchased the watch but sifting through the bogus reviews from the real one isn’t difficult to spot them.
I love the series 7 and I would recommend one in a heartbeat. It’s so much better and the new style Watch face when the numbers bounce around the Watch face just blows you away. I’m glad I got one it’s a week old Tuesday and I’m loving every bit of it. One other thing is charger is 33% faster than the series 6 and the battery life is just phenomenal.
I agree with the sentiments about the larger display! I took a picture of it and just like the comparison in the video it doesn’t do it any justice but up close it’s a BIG difference!
i think it’s more upgrade worthy coming from older models currently have the 3 waiting for my 7 to come in the mail
Same here, serie 3 38 mm upgrade to serie 7 45 mm
I have the series 4 and I’m finally upgrading as there was no good reason to go to the 5, or the 6 for me . the 7 I really like I ordered the midnight Nike with cellular
I wen to the Apple store last weekend and held the new watch next to my series 6. Sorry, I just didn't see that much difference. Even the always on brightness seemed the same. Maybe outside it would be brighter but in the store, they seemed the same.
Under direct sunlight. I can definitely see everything much more clearly on my S7 compared to my previous watch (S4).
Here I am...perfectly happy with my series 4 still...not a scratch on it and it works like a champ...oh look...Chris made a Series 7 review...now I am sitting here with a crappy series 4 and I hate my life until I upgrade to the series 7...thanks Chris...thanks alot...lol
Me too!!!!
He is pretty good at this type of video 😯
I upgraded from series 0 to the exact combo in this vid. I actually had the battery replaced on the 0 and gave it a 2nd life. Was still working perfectly when I sold it after preordering the 7. They are outstanding products.
I currently have a series 2….waiting for my 7 to arrive…can’t wait !!!
That’s a huge upgrade!
same im hoping it comes tomorrow
I got my Series 7 last Friday in blue. I almost didn’t, but glad I did. I’m 54, with vision problems, so the bigger screen really helps me a lot. You’re right, it is SO much easier!! I also love the fast charging.
I have this watch and I am obsessed! I went from a 3 to a 5 to finally a 7. I can tell you that I am learning something new all the time about what this watch can do. I am in love and I am so happy that I changed. ❤
I just ordered the green 45mm with the green leather band and I was a bit worried how it looks outside the marketing images but after seeing this video I think it looks amazing. I just hope that the fitness tracking really is better than in Series 5. I bought Apple watch 5 when it came out, played around with it two months and gave it to my wife. I loved the smartwatch side of things but the fitness tracking wasn't accurate enough for me so I replaced it with Suunto GPS watch.
I might pick this up coming from my series 4. I hate writing each letter for texts and the voice to text is hit or miss sometimes.
Are all of the watches the same as far as Specs(screen, processor, etc)? Or is the difference the size watch and build material(aluminum, stainless, titanium)? Looking to buy one for my nephew and not sure of the differences. Thank you in advance. 👍
The insides are the same. Stainless version also has Apples version of a sapphire crystal on top of the screen instead of glass.
Ugh, still waiting for mine! Should get it next week :) Same combo as you have on the video (green 45mm with green leather link band)
I just bought my first iPhone 12 earlier this year. I am looking at the watches, but I am not sure if I should get the 7 or wait until the 8 comes out. I heard that the 8 may have the glucose monitor which would be great for me since I am diabetic. What are your thoughts?
I would love that as well but I think that is a few years down the road personally. They’ve been talking about it for sometime but it’s probably not easy to get it accurate enough to satisfy the FDA
Get the 7 now .. Glucose monitor will probably take 2 more years and if it does come next year, you can trade your 7 for the 8
brighter screen is appreciated by middle aged folks like me who struggle viewing text when not wearing reading glasses....makes those quick glances easier to navigate
I have the 4 and got the 7. The screen on the 4 is so much brighter unless I have an issue with mine. I turned the brightness up and put the same face on both and I like how bright the 4 is
The upgrades over the Series 6 aren’t enough for me to justify buying it. My series 6 is only 6 months old anyway. I charge it full before bed and again when I wake up. Battery is still usually at 50% -60% 12 hours later.
I wouldn’t charge it that much . If u charge it in the morning or at night every day it should last all day unless u use cellular a lot or work out a lot. The way u charge it it will def stay charged but the battery only takes so many changes so u might degrade your battery faster the more u charge it . But I have the 4 and it’s still last all day . I just charge it when it gets 10-20% depending on what I plan on doing and how I’m going to b using it .
@@dustinwilliams5696 It’s the total # of charge cycles that is the biggest factor in battery degradation. You can minimize the number of cycles with things like laptops and tablets. Watches which need to always be on your wrist on the other hand are a different story…
@@dustinwilliams5696 what’s your battery health on your4? Did you had it at launch day too?
@@monicahaiy6150 no I got it in April some time after it released . My battery health is 84% which ain’t bad I use it all the time.
Comparing a watch to a tv? Yeah because I have days where I stare at my series 6 for hours.
He’s simply making the point that a bigger screen is better. Especially since the watches have the same dimensions. It’s not a case of the Watch is 20% bigger so the screen is 20% bigger. It’s that the Watch is the same size as last year but the screen shows 20% more. I think you got his point, you are simply being a jobs worth.
I upgraded from the series 2 to the series 6 in aluminum blue and ultimately decided to trade-in my series 6 for a series 7 in stainless graphite (I’m a space gray kinda guy). I’m getting a little over $210 for trading in my series 6 (which I might could get more for selling, but who knows how long that could take). Even with the subtle differences between the 6 and 7 it was enough for me to consider for a few days and ultimately decide to take the plunge.
I got my Apple Watch Series 6 at the end of November last year, but I did upgrade my I-Phone from a 10R (that I had 2 1/2 years) to an I-Phone 13 Pro Max, now that is a big upgrade. The I-Pad Pro is new and so will be my Mac Book Pro, (still waiting for it). First time for the I-Pad and Mac Book. Really love the I-Phone 13 Pro Max in the Sierra Blue, and got silver for the I-Pad Pro and Mac Book Pro. I would have chosen Sierra Blue for the Mac Book Pro and I-Pad Pro if they came in that color.
Upgrading from a Series 4 and to titanium (first time). Will not be delivered until Dec 03, 2021.
Upgraded from3 to 7. Love the screen size. I wish it had blood pressure but not that bothered with it. It doesn’t make much sense why apple left out the plug-in for charger.
I just picked up the series 7 last Apple Watch I had was series 4. I absolutely loooove this watch. Looks so good. And thank god for Amazon and it’s cheaper knock off bands because the braided loop is an amazing band. So comfy.
I picked up the green color because that was the only one left in the Apple store in Osaka. It def looks black .. it’s very dark but it’s really nice!
I plan to upgrade. I’m coming from a Series 3 which I use 24/7 for fitness, walking directions, remote camera control, sleep tracking, and all the other little things. The Series 3 has gotten a little too slow and the battery dies fast now. I hope the 7 is faster - i’m tired of clicking and waiting.
This review popped up on my feed today never saw your reviews before that and liked your review of the series 7 and ordered one and will be here Nov 1-8 and ordered on launch day at 5:20am and subbed to your channel you have open honest and thorough review of the Apple Watch 7 thanks a lot and hope to see more from your channel
Also I’m coming from the series 6 as well and can’t wait to receive AW 7
Mine is shipping at the same time as yours. I keep checking, hoping it ships earlier. 🤣
@@starsfan1 same here but no early shipping for me at the moment but hoping it does lol
@@starsfan1 yea mine shipped today but the idiotic courier decided not to deliver package on the time frame(it’s being delivered to a business they close at 3pm) so hope they will deliver tomorrow before close of the business cause the anticipation is killing me hehe
@@nberry324 Mine shipped yesterday, and is supposed to be here tomorrow. 🤞
@@starsfan1 yea I live about 2 hours from their warehouse in San Jose CA and I’m dealing with a horrible courier named deliver it never heard of ‘‘em till now the Apple rep told me fed ex was delivering it and yesterday got up to a tracking to deliver it company and was suppose to be delivered yesterday but they screwed off and missed the deadline but hope they deliver today
But Chris, I have a small wrist and don’t wear the large size anyway, so I’m going to have a small screen in the end. The watch has its functions, I have a series 6 which I’m still paying off so I’m not going to upgrade for 20% more space on something that I’m not using as a tv or video device, I don’t overload my watch with photos either. The fact that you have to have your Apple Watch within range of the watch, why wouldn’t I just use the phone for directions. I use it to answer phone calls when I’m not right next to my watch, but also I’m on my iPad more than everything else and it’s plenty big and my go to device. The watch is a watch, I do use it for a kitchen timer and to ask Siri questions which is handy and the health app is a great feature, but I don’t want to try to type on it or use it for a calculator especially since I can ask Siri for math complications. I don’t need it to be brighter either it’s already bright enough to light up my room at night. I’ll upgrade to the 8 or 9 after I’ve paid this one off, I got the titanium with the metal mesh band which was top of the line almost. I love my watch and no it’s not time to upgrade. My iPhone is the 10xmax and it’s going to get upgraded first, after I see how this economy and rising food and energy costs effect me. I can eat an apple but I can’t eat an apple product.
I'm curious if the always-on display shows active navigation when you are driving or if when it goes to "sleep" it defaults to the clock face. When driving it would be nice if I could always see my navigation from Apple Maps displayed on the watch face without having to do an exaggerated wrist lift to get the screen to wake up to see what I need to do next. Does the watch only show the time when it goes into always-on mode? Or does it continue to show whatever you are doing like navigation or fitness metrics etc? Thanks for the great review!
Hi Daily Tekk, I am a UK viewer. Very helpful video. I noticed on your watch screen you had "No events today". Can you explain how you did that please, and was it only on one particular watch face? I have been unable to find a way to do this. many thanks
you know what’s bigger than the new apple watch? My love for this channels content!
Haha thanks Cory - glad you're here!
Last week I ordered the Apple Watch Nike Series 7 GPS, 45-mm Midnight
Aluminium Case with Black Nike Sport Loop 😎⌚️ it’s going to take 5 to 6 weeks to come ⌚️
I got the new watch yesterday and it's my first Apple Watch and I love it! The screen is a great size (41mm) and easy to use. Still learning but I'll get there! There are so many cool features. One issue I am having is adding my bank card to the wallet, it works fine on my 12 pro max so I'm not sure what's going on. Got the starlight band and watch, it's really pretty 😍
I upgraded to the 7 from a 4, mainly because the battery life on my 4 was at 65%.
Wouldnt you change the battery?
The bigger screen/better display is why I'm upgrading :) Can't wait for it to arrive! Nice review!
I upgraded from the 6 to 7 and love the larger screen. I have a larger wrist and always felt the smaller watches didn’t look good on me. The larger 7 series fits perfectly and proportionately.
i am getting ym first apple watch in couple weeks, man you video is great and infomative, but the part with the watch faces, you truly showed what kind of person you are.
Great vid! Do you prefer the stainless steel or aluminum?
I have the series 6. I think I’m gonna get the the series 7. I tried them on in the apple store and they are so great!
I always love the look of the ss but the aluminum is great too... really hard to go wrong
I like the honest upgrade recommendation at the end.
I am awaiting my new one. I got the aluminium one this time. I had stainless steel but i am allergic to nickel and im so hoping their will be no nickel or less so i can wear it. I have a product called nonickel that you paint on metal. It works on earrings. Inmight try painting no nickel on the back of the watch. Nonickel looks like clear nail polish. It might interfere some of the watch functions but with a little luck it will work on most.
I think I am going to go for my first Apple Watch. Never seemed necessary still doesn’t to a certain degree. Waiting for certain features to drop to justify a $400 price tag. If it can be useful on my bike rides it would be worth it but Strava really does the job for me in that regard. I was back and forth on blue vs green ( only considered blue because I have a new blue iPhone 13 🙄😁) Since the green can almost pass for a black which universally goes with most anything I wear these days Also there is a black band I have in mind. I like the “uniqueness” of the green color as well. So Thanks for the review! 😁👍
where to buy the watch strap?
Good review, cant wait for mine to come in 4-5 weeks times ordered 2 weeks ago. The bigger screen would be nice for me plus dont have to carry my
Phone around while the alerts come straight to the watch
I have the Nike cellular gps series 6, 44mm and it’s still in its box with the sill on! Should I go and trade it in and get this new Nike cellular gps Nike series 7, 44mm ?
Just bought the iPhone Watch Series 7, Space Black Titanium Case with Space Black Link Bracelet. Gets here on the 21st. I hope I like it. My first Smart Watch.
I do not have an Apple Watch and never had one. I was diagnosed with diabetes in February. I thought this test was going to be the year I finally get an Apple Watch because of the rumored glucose monitoring ability. That would be a huge game changer for me. Needless to say I was disappointed it didn’t make on this release. I have other health issues such as high blood pressure and frequent sinus and respiratory infections and allergies. Now I am on the fence about Apple Watch 7. I can’t see myself using it to text or most things I do on my phone. The GPS would be great when I I am on foot in unfamiliar place like when I go to concerts out of state. Walking and using the iPhone gps not only doesn’t work well, it also makes a person an easy target for criminals. An Apple Watch would solve that. The gps would be great for rising my motorcycle because a dedicated gps on a motorcycle is dangerously distracting to look at. Also, in the event of a crash, having it automatically call 911 could be a life saver.
So I am on the fence on this. If it had glucose monitoring, it’s an easy yes of course I am buying it. Without that feature, I am wondering if I would use it enough to justify it. I am leaning towards waiting for the series 8 since it might have glucose monitoring, but on the other hand, I could wait a whole year needlessly like I did for the 7.
I’m thinking of upgrading to 7 from my 6 and also doing a trade in which saves me $140. Your explanation of the watch was excellent. Thank you
I’m still using my series 3, this one seems to be looking better and better 🙃
Same here. Can’t wait to upgrade to the 7.
Same. But I’m not a fan of the bigger screen nor the colours, and it seems fatter/bulkier - though I haven’t compared.
I feel like I’m gonna wait for the next model. There are articles about Apple doing a drastic change in production and that this isn’t the S7 they originally planned to release. It’s the same chip as the S6 - which, for us jumping from the S3 is still an upgrade, but there’s some shadiness around this model that isn’t sitting right.
And I don’t like the colours. 😜
I had an Apple Watch years ago, that wasn't even water resistant, so I sold it and bought a Garmin (I'm a runner so I need it to be sweat proof). I just ordered the 45mm Series 7 in Starlight and I'm super excited to get it! It's coming on Monday!
dust resistant is for construction and farm workers. I am both, and dust has "killed" every iPhone I have ever owned. speaker eventually becomes almost impossible to work, Siri recognize me 33% of time when I hold the phone 2 inchs from my face. and the faster charging, bigger screen and dust resistance is why i finally bought my first apple watch (the larger one) and I am very happy. battery life so what, put the watch on the charger when you shower and your fine.... Well I guess those complaining about the battery life don't shower every day ;D
Got the Midnight cause I have way to many bands that just wouldn’t go with any other color and yes I upgraded from the 6. Mine will arrive this Friday so looking forward to getting it and using the duo complication and the larger screen.
Yo lemme buy your old 6 lol
@@billyrogers9619 so many resources to buy a Apple Watch in person but you choose to ask a stranger on a UA-cam comment section… nice
@@ililililil4847 yeh cause I was totally serious
@@billyrogers9619 hey sorry just saw ur message, sold it day before yesterday
I have a series 5 and thought the difference was enough to upgrade. I track my sleep and being able to charge more quickly is important to me. I also like the new QWERTY keyboard. Receiving a reasonable price for trading in my Series 5 also helped.
Do you mind if I ask you how much you got for your series 5? I have one and I’m interested in upgrading.
Can someone please tell me what’s the name of that thing moving behind him at 2:38
Im upgrading from not having a apple watch to having a series 7! So excited to have more functions than a bunch of freckles
Ya I did ,from my gold stainless 4 to 7 black only because my 4 battery died! Miss the better sapphire lens. would have got another stainless if they had changed look.
Help: i have never owned an apple watch. Considered 7series as my first buy. The big screen appeals to me BUT when I went into the store the big one didnt have a wristband that suited my tiny wrist… so my question: can you use a smaller wristband on the larger watch and will the health apps work then?
Same here, I have never owned an Apple Watch before, and I have a small wrist too so I went with the 41mm series 7. I don’t know if you can get the 45mm watch and a smaller band though.
All Apple Watches when bought new will come with a small/medium and a large watch band for respected wrist sizes. I have small wrists and use the s/m wrist band on my 41 MM Series 7.
Thinking of getting my first Apple Watch. Could be handy when walking and at work as don’t need to take phone.
What happens if walking a receive a call? Does phone and watch both ring? Which device has priority?
Make sure your phone carrier supports cellular service for the Apple Watch
Does it still get dark in a dark room? I returned the 6 for that reason. It was a maddening feature that I couldn't override>
I have a series 4 and yesterday i got my new series 7. is it normal that the series 4 is much brighter Than the series 7 when You are in dark rooms?
I just upgraded from my Series 4 to the Series 7. Huge upgrade for me. Love it.
I love the green. I just got that one with a leather strap that is light tan/orange and looks great together. I agree it would be awesome to have third-party face design for the Apple Watch but I really wish there were ways to customize the lock screen on an iPhone. I’m so tired of just looking at the basics Apple gives us and only being able to change the wallpaper. Apple, are you listening?
I thought I heard you say that it didn’t have any new health sensors, but it does. It’s the first Apple Watch to have a blood oxygen sensor which can be important to us old folk. :-)
I currently have a series 6 and the blood oxygen sensor is available on it just to let you know
7:54 the green apple watch is to pair with the Green Iphone from a couple years ago. I think the iphone 11? I do like that color green though.
I was going to do that myself but decided to get the start light as it goes better with more bands, the color is versatile with other phones too. If I decide to get a new phone next year, they won’t have the super dark green phone.
I just upgraded from a Series 4 to 7. Love it!
Where can I get that silver moving object on your desk?
I just got the SE. I have it on a payment plan and in two years when it's paid off I can get the watch nine!
My first smartwatch was the Samsung Galaxy 2 Watch and I loved it. I just switched back to iPhone last month and decided it was time for the Apple Watch! I ordered it Friday and it should be here Wednesday or Thursday! I can’t wait!!!!
If you buy green... can you change the contour watch face color... or are you stuck with green
That larger screen does look tempting but here are a few discrepancies that I've found with this review of the series 7.
I have a Series 6 and the app scroll "shrinking bezel" view is nearly identical.
Also with series 6 we actually can create many timers and view them simultaneously as shown in this video.
Viewing the watch at an angle looks pretty much the same as well, but on the series 7 maps do look a little bigger, but it has the exact same map features you're showing that series 7 has.
Series 6 doesn't have the qwerty keyboard.
Series 7 has more text sizes.
I like that the Series 7 has a thicker glass that's supposedly more scratch resistant too.
A few added watch faces are nice as well. For me these differences are not quite worth an upgrade from Watch 6 but glad to see this very well-produced video.
We still have a stinking 18hr battery life! Come on Apple, you got the technology!!!
Great video . I agree mostly but the battery life sucks a bit and u say everyone has 8min to charge it before bed. I dont mind the 8 minute i mind that i have to take it off and on again
But for the rest yes its a great upgrade and i love it !! I bought the s7 nike starlight
