They were going to do the squared design to match iPhone 13 and the iPads, BUT there was supply chain issues so they literally last minute decided to change it to this which is why its not really anything new and just a bit larger display, which was supposed to be in the squared casing.
As for the colors: I got midnight yesterday, it’s safe to say it’s practically black. The band is more of a “midnight” color. It’s a very dark blue, but the band can easily be changed if you want to opt for a black one. So if you’re stuck on the colors, and wanted a neutral color to go with more outfits, midnight is a great choice.
Jesus Loves everyone ever forget that even when others don’t care about you this will never forget about you know washed out letting you please confess your sins except Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and then Say in Jesus name Amen!
Starlight is a nice one too for a neutral color scheme. I have the Starlight Series 7 and I love it, it goes with any outfit, and if I want a black (or close to black) band, I can reuse the black one from my old series 4 or get the midnight band.
@@isailopez605 There's a thing where guys are supposed to to wear your watch on your left hand, otherwise you are gay because only women wear watches on their right hand. I though nobody was stupid enough to think that way, until people we looking and me funny and joking about it.

I’m upgrading from a series 3 so while I was hoping for a few more features, this upgrade will be huge for me. I agree with you in being disappointed in the colors though. My last 2 Apple watches have been silver and I wanted a change. Ordered the midnight but am definitely disappointed that I can’t get a black in the aluminum. I just don’t care for the starlight. And while I love the red, (yours looked really sharp) it just won’t match enough of my wardrobe to make that choice.

Idk what everyone is saying but there was also almost no difference between the s4, s5 and s6 so yeah with that in mind i think a bigger screen is very nice.
@@MrA1Sauceee Mine was honestly great, but yes it dipped. I recently did a battery test and it lasted 24 hours on the dot. But do keep in mind I was working out a lot on that day (>4000kJ, >100+mins) -- So I am still content with it I suppose.
Same, but wearing masks 😷 is making me consider getting one until the pandemic is over for the phone unlock feature. Also since I don’t keep my automatics on when I’m home and I’m not going out as much, my watches are never wound when I do want to wear them.
Me too, I can’t find a reason for me to buy a smart watch since my phone does everything and more. My eyes for watches are on the Rolex, Hublot, or Tag Heuer if I ever wanted to wear one.
Me too. Glad I'm not the only one lol my 4 is actually still working really well. The battery is not as good as it used to be, but that's expected. Am considering buying this new upgrade because it finally feels worth it for me.
Same here. I've had my series 4 for years, even through aggressive use with the Marines. I have a minor crack on the top portion of the glass, the watch is still water tight. Aside from that, I've had no problems and no reason to upgrade. However, I do like the new larger screen of the series 7 and the upgrades faces and features, so I'm contemplating upgrading.
Same here but I’m in a dilemma whether to get this one now or maybe stick it out too the 8 comes out. I have a feeling there might be more worthwhile upgrades to that🤔i don’t know, lol
What was Apple thinking not making any neutral/monochrome colors available for the aluminium? Black bands for example are not going to look as good with the midnight colorway.
Just to clarify: 50m water resistance is NOT suitable for diving. It’s literally rated for swimming at surface level. Usually a watch with 30M WR actually is recommended for splashing while washing your hands at best, not to wear in the shower etc, so 50 is pretty much only for swimming. In theory it can handle the pressure from water 50 meters deep, but that’s with no motion whatsoever. So don’t dive with it folks, or at least, do it at your own risk. Also pretty sure apples warrantee does not cover water damage 🤷🏼♂️
Pretty happy with my SE. Didn’t really need all the extra features of the numbered ones since it still tracks all my fitness stuff just fine still. Slapped a case on it and never worry about damaging it at work
Man keep your apple watch se battery health in the 6 sucks I lost almost 10% of the battery in less than a year my wife SE watch still on 99% I bought them at the same time
AppleCare+ for Apple Watch SE probably cost about as much as the case you put on it, and your case doesn't let you swap out your Apple Watch for a new/refurbished one once it's been scratched.
I got the series 7 in a green and it’s pretty subtle BUT I did go ahead and put cygnets combo bumper screen protector on it and it’s now blacked out so happy days
Now sell it and get a proper mechanical watch. A Seiko 5 is good, or even a Longines at an affordable price. If you want handcrafted utilitarianism then I suggest the UniMatic.
Marques: “i like that the snooze button is slightly bigger in the alarm clock” Dave2D: “I know I don’t sleep enough but the sleep tracking Apple Watch doesn’t help me” The two sides of tech TH-cam right here. I’m with Marques, snooze all day!
Yes exactly. Its an object your wear on your wrist all day. It makes sense for it to feel organic and not squared of. I mean its an Apple Watch not and pebble
Fabulous review, Marques!! You never disappoint! After waiting and debating, for well over a year, I'm going to immerse myself even deeper in the Apple Ecosystem and purchase the Series 7 Watch, tomorrow. Back when the Series 6 was at the top of the lineup, I was going to make that my first Apple device, but many people told me it wouldn't do me much good, if I didn't have an iPhone. I purchased my first one, in January. As much as I love watches, in general, I never liked having one on, all the time. However, I've done enough research on this Apple Watch to confirm for myself that I will wear it a lot, because of all the conveniences and benefits it brings. And the larger case and display on the 7 was a major selling point. Where I'm going to buy it, they only have the silicone-type Sport Bands. I have large wrists and the band will fit me, but not with any room to spare. That's my only gripe, but I know I can buy a Sport Loop (Velcro-fasten) band, if I really want that, instead.
I'm upgrading from the Series 3, so I'm pretty pumped to have something that I hopefully won't need to return to factory settings each time I want to update the firmware.
I’m glad I wasn't the only one that got upset at the color choices. Ive always gone with the space gray, but I think I have to go with starlight this year.
I literally have to get the Stainless Steel SILVER and the Modern Buckle CHALK. Because that is the ONLY Silver/White POSSIBILITY 、 now they have REMOVED Silver Aluminum & all White rubber-y Bands. 🤯😢
As a lefty myself, I wear my watch on my right wrist; it's easier to write for me. My watch is upside down, so the crown is on the left. TH-camr iJustine is a lefty, I saw how she wears her watch, and it was the right solution for me.🙂
Had my Series 7 for a week now after having a Samsung Gear 3 for the past 5 years, and left my Galaxy S 20 Ultra for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I’m loving both!
I currently have a apple watch 4 and ive upgraded to the series 7 was hoping for a bigger reason to upgrade but i will take the bigger screen and faster charging
This was really helpful. I’m hoping to upgrade from my Series 3, 38mm and appreciated your comment about how the 7 can feel big on your wrist. I don’t want my watch to feel big or heavy so I may go for 40mm SE.
The 38mm is just so tiny. I thought about downsizing my Series 3 42mm a bit and getting a 41mm but it still felt way too small. The 45mm looks a little too big though. I just want an always-on display
I can confirm the apple watches durability... I wear it when I do dishes, shower, and have even dunked it in lacquer thinner during my time in the paint booth! It hasn't failed me once, it takes hits too!
Went from a black 42mm Series 2 to Product Red 41mm. Also went from silicon band to a braided solo brand size 9, it fits so perfectly! Hopefully going to wear it more consistently than I did the 2 :)
Why does everyone want the square design to come to fruition ? I feel like that would be less comfortable to have on the wrist just like holding the new iPhones compared to the iPhone 11.
it’s more conspicuous that you have the new model on when its design is so different from the previous one, which is a factor for people when upgrading their portable tech.
@@mencibenci yeah I get the hype of having the newest stuff. I just think people hear a rumor about it being square designed and don’t even think about if it’s even something they’d want.
For component layout it's much better. And I don't think it's uncomfortable since I hade boxier watches before. For iPhones I absolutely like the squared of design much more. I specifically have cases for all the rounded iPhone which make them squarer. But it just adds so much material to the sides.
I love how casual he is in this video. no over the top professionalism, or altering his tone, yet it's still tidy. I really appreciate it when people just talk to me like their relaxed selves rather than try to sell me an exaggerated version of themselves.
I upgraded from a series 4 40mm to the series 7 45mm and I am impressed with the display honestly! And I love the color 😍 I am happy with mine thus far
I do as well but it’s due to heavy black tattoos on my left wrist. I used to wear it there until this year when my tattoos got in the way of the sensors too much , been right wrist for about 7 months now. I’m almost used to it.
you should talk about how apple deleted the exact same app that was available, offering a keyboard for the watch, and how they added it to their watchOS update soon after :)
He still reviews stuff for most of the people, so he has to speak for most of the people.. Also, stainless steel watches are heavier so not the best for when you're doing sport. How incredibly light the aluminium watches are, makes you forget that you're wearing them, especially people who wear it to bed.
@@Nemenis well even to check simple notifications it is slow. I would have actually continued to use my Series 1 but the battery expanded and blew out.
He’s a comparison for you, the Apple Watch series 3 is older, smaller, cheaper and has less features the Apple Watch series 7 is bigger, newer, expensive and includes more features
Agreed, comparison in terms of physical size on the wrist. I will be going from the 42mm series 3 to the 45mm series 7, which doesn't sound substantial, but just may be in reality.
@@zainbhayani1539 aren't you just a ray of sunshine. The Series 3 IS indeed 42mm (look it up), and where does anyone even talk about inches in terms of size?
@@joescheiman well aren’t you just the whitest little macadamia nut on the brightest day of a Kansas summer in the far side of the barn, I was obvious referring to the Apple Watch series 3 42mm with 1 mm cut off if you even cared to get the correct reference
My Series 5 is still going strong, battery life is okay even after around 1.5 years and no reason to upgrade until Series 9 or 10, or it'll probably be my last smartwatch.
I have the series 3 and was wondering if I should trade in and upgrade. I need a fuller screen for how poor my sight is. I also just like a sleeker look. Hmmm lol.
Thanks for mentioning the color options. I only got the stainless version for the neutral color. Not happy about it but figured with something always on my wrist its important.
You are absolutely right Marques, no "neutral" color in aluminum. I love the space black or graphite, and one can only hope that Apple adds it to their line-up next year.
I got one for my mom as a first time Apple Watch wearer, I think this is like several months later but getting her a green one, the colour is really barely noticeable unless it's direct sunlight, so if you're hoping for a bright pop it's not it...it's quite dull. Second issue is that by getting her the smaller watch, battery life with probably the smallest amount of use is still pretty bad...it regularly drops like 20~ percent within a 3-4 hours being mostly idle and not even having always-on display on or even exercise or anything...just regular texts and some email notifications causes it to lose that much....I have an SE 44mm size and mine lasts a good long day easily. So just something to be aware of (the smaller 41mm series 7 is so bad I've turned off the blood oxygen to try and save some battery life)
This man , " at the risk of tanking this video and it's watch time." Me: *a person who doesn't own any apple products and doesn't plan on getting one* Bigger screen you say hmm 🤔 what else is new. ( Continues to watch whole video)
No kidding. I got into a T-bone motorbike accident 3 months back. Apart from a few scratches on the screen and the case, the watch works miraculously well after an impact straight on the tarmac.. Most durable Apple Watch.. Maybe they're not just marketing words !! (Aluminium)
That watch band hit me on the face even before I notice it's MKBHD related.. awesome design .. great material choice.. sadly I never use Apple watches. Hope moment and marquees do some designs for Android bands. 🙏🙏
I really love you’re reviewers. I’m not on the market but you’re videos are always really good. I’ve had my AppleWatch SE for a little over a year and I love it and don’t see anything on the newer models worth switching for…in case anyone is in the market for a new watch
At this Point I watch mkbhd videos not for the sake of knowing about the product he reviews, but the cool production quality of his videos! esp the intros
Nice incremental upgrade. What I REALLY need is improved scratch-resistance (hardness) on the screen. I work around SiC abrasives and they put deep scratches in the screen easily. If they can’t improve the hardness, then at least make the screen flat so I can put a film-type screen protector on it.

Series 3, amateurs
@@MrA1Sauceee Mine was honestly great, but yes it dipped. I recently did a battery test and it lasted 24 hours on the dot. But do keep in mind I was working out a lot on that day (>4000kJ, >100+mins) -- So I am still content with it I suppose.
I love technology yet I can’t bring myself to wear smart watches. I still love analog and automatic watches and the gshocks
Same, but wearing masks 😷 is making me consider getting one until the pandemic is over for the phone unlock feature. Also since I don’t keep my automatics on when I’m home and I’m not going out as much, my watches are never wound when I do want to wear them.
Me too, I can’t find a reason for me to buy a smart watch since my phone does everything and more. My eyes for watches are on the Rolex, Hublot, or Tag Heuer if I ever wanted to wear one.
Still rocking a series 4 so I’m tempted to get the new green one.
Me too. Glad I'm not the only one lol my 4 is actually still working really well. The battery is not as good as it used to be, but that's expected. Am considering buying this new upgrade because it finally feels worth it for me.
Same here. I've had my series 4 for years, even through aggressive use with the Marines. I have a minor crack on the top portion of the glass, the watch is still water tight. Aside from that, I've had no problems and no reason to upgrade. However, I do like the new larger screen of the series 7 and the upgrades faces and features, so I'm contemplating upgrading.
Same here but I’m in a dilemma whether to get this one now or maybe stick it out too the 8 comes out. I have a feeling there might be more worthwhile upgrades to that🤔i don’t know, lol

Finally, Pip-Boy!
@Joe its a box
@@chikoo7584 is it tho or is it a bunch of 90 degree angles
There needs to be a mkbhd tshirt with a print that says "I've been using this for a week now and here's what I think..".. I'd buy it.
What was Apple thinking not making any neutral/monochrome colors available for the aluminium? Black bands for example are not going to look as good with the midnight colorway.
I think the blue is really fresh but I’m worried next years iPhone won’t have that same shade of blue when I’m ready to upgrade
Now you gotta get Stainless Steel bc the color-way’s are better 。 🤯
To entice you to spend more on a stainless steel or titanium version 🙄
New to your channel and I have to say your presentation style is so refreshing! Straight to the point, no theatrics and no fluff. Subscribed.
How on earth u r new to his channel?
@@goldenknight , lol , should have said new subscriber.
Just to clarify: 50m water resistance is NOT suitable for diving. It’s literally rated for swimming at surface level. Usually a watch with 30M WR actually is recommended for splashing while washing your hands at best, not to wear in the shower etc, so 50 is pretty much only for swimming. In theory it can handle the pressure from water 50 meters deep, but that’s with no motion whatsoever. So don’t dive with it folks, or at least, do it at your own risk.
Also pretty sure apples warrantee does not cover water damage 🤷🏼♂️
Was about to comment this. If that were true at that point Apple would just include dive computer software like the garmin descent does.
Marques killing it with the intro as always 🔥
Pretty happy with my SE. Didn’t really need all the extra features of the numbered ones since it still tracks all my fitness stuff just fine still. Slapped a case on it and never worry about damaging it at work
Man keep your apple watch se battery health in the 6 sucks I lost almost 10% of the battery in less than a year my wife SE watch still on 99% I bought them at the same time
AppleCare+ for Apple Watch SE probably cost about as much as the case you put on it, and your case doesn't let you swap out your Apple Watch for a new/refurbished one once it's been scratched.
Probably bulky on the wrist
@@Alex121sm1 it's not about bulky literally it's the same watch same processor same battery that's why they removed the 6 just to sell the S7
I got the series 7 in a green and it’s pretty subtle BUT I did go ahead and put cygnets combo bumper screen protector on it and it’s now blacked out so happy days
Now sell it and get a proper mechanical watch. A Seiko 5 is good, or even a Longines at an affordable price. If you want handcrafted utilitarianism then I suggest the UniMatic.
Marques: “i like that the snooze button is slightly bigger in the alarm clock”
Dave2D: “I know I don’t sleep enough but the sleep tracking Apple Watch doesn’t help me”
The two sides of tech TH-cam right here. I’m with Marques, snooze all day!
lol so true
I appreciate the good designs on these watch, I was really impressed to see how it works, love how the screen keyboard works with it,
Yay! :D
Yes exactly. Its an object your wear on your wrist all day. It makes sense for it to feel organic and not squared of. I mean its an Apple Watch not and pebble
I love how he puts so much effort and time into production values, probably the best on YT and keeps messing up small things like text boxes 😂
Fabulous review, Marques!! You never disappoint!
After waiting and debating, for well over a year, I'm going to immerse myself even deeper in the Apple Ecosystem and purchase the Series 7 Watch, tomorrow.
Back when the Series 6 was at the top of the lineup, I was going to make that my first Apple device, but many people told me it wouldn't do me much good, if I didn't have an iPhone. I purchased my first one, in January.
As much as I love watches, in general, I never liked having one on, all the time. However, I've done enough research on this Apple Watch to confirm for myself that I will wear it a lot, because of all the conveniences and benefits it brings. And the larger case and display on the 7 was a major selling point.
Where I'm going to buy it, they only have the silicone-type Sport Bands. I have large wrists and the band will fit me, but not with any room to spare. That's my only gripe, but I know I can buy a Sport Loop (Velcro-fasten) band, if I really want that, instead.
I'm upgrading from the Series 3, so I'm pretty pumped to have something that I hopefully won't need to return to factory settings each time I want to update the firmware.
Exactly why I‘m upgrading. Although I really struggled with the colors..
These intros are getting better every time 😍
I’m glad I wasn't the only one that got upset at the color choices. Ive always gone with the space gray, but I think I have to go with starlight this year.
I literally have to get the Stainless Steel SILVER and the Modern Buckle CHALK. Because that is the ONLY Silver/White POSSIBILITY 、 now they have REMOVED Silver Aluminum & all White rubber-y Bands. 🤯😢
I’m a lefty and wear my watch on my left wrist, just feels right… lol
As a lefty we don’t claim you /j
Lmao bruh that’s not right. I’m a lefty, i always wear crap on the right hand
@@delusional3392 Lol, that's not right. JK. I get it, though.
As a lefty myself, I wear my watch on my right wrist; it's easier to write for me. My watch is upside down, so the crown is on the left. TH-camr iJustine is a lefty, I saw how she wears her watch, and it was the right solution for me.🙂
im a lefty and i wear it on my right otherwise it gets in the way when writing
Upgraded from S6 44mm to S7 41mm. Almost the same size, just smaller bezels. Midnight is darker than space gray. I love it!
“i wear my WRIST on my right wrist event though i’m not a lefty” oh my god this sentence🤣
Take this as a lesson, kids, you don’t have to be smart to be successful.
So impressive but upgrade not needed for another year! SE lives on beautifully
SE can live on forever . It’s still sold by Apple . At least until end of software support
How's the battery life
I love the SE!
Why would you even want to upgrade? Your watch is like 2 years old…
@@iron_b0olt Your so right! Its the best man!
Marques, can you shows us the fall detection feature via your own testing? That would be a great video!
Had my Series 7 for a week now after having a Samsung Gear 3 for the past 5 years, and left my Galaxy S 20 Ultra for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I’m loving both!
10:05 Slightly more excited than normal endings there! I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks!
I currently have a apple watch 4 and ive upgraded to the series 7 was hoping for a bigger reason to upgrade but i will take the bigger screen and faster charging
Please make a battery test comparison to Series 6, SE, etc. Doesnt exist on TH-cam yet!
This was really helpful. I’m hoping to upgrade from my Series 3, 38mm and appreciated your comment about how the 7 can feel big on your wrist. I don’t want my watch to feel big or heavy so I may go for 40mm SE.
The 38mm is just so tiny. I thought about downsizing my Series 3 42mm a bit and getting a 41mm but it still felt way too small. The 45mm looks a little too big though. I just want an always-on display
Is there any significant difference in battery between the 41mm and 45mm?
I can confirm the apple watches durability... I wear it when I do dishes, shower, and have even dunked it in lacquer thinner during my time in the paint booth! It hasn't failed me once, it takes hits too!
My series 7 45mm finally came today and it’s my first Apple Watch ⌚️
Went from a black 42mm Series 2 to Product Red 41mm. Also went from silicon band to a braided solo brand size 9, it fits so perfectly! Hopefully going to wear it more consistently than I did the 2 :)
Why does everyone want the square design to come to fruition ? I feel like that would be less comfortable to have on the wrist just like holding the new iPhones compared to the iPhone 11.
For the sake of having something different, that’s my guess
Their over priced so its not worth it. Apple's eco system is garbage.
it’s more conspicuous that you have the new model on when its design is so different from the previous one, which is a factor for people when upgrading their portable tech.
@@mencibenci yeah I get the hype of having the newest stuff. I just think people hear a rumor about it being square designed and don’t even think about if it’s even something they’d want.
For component layout it's much better. And I don't think it's uncomfortable since I hade boxier watches before. For iPhones I absolutely like the squared of design much more. I specifically have cases for all the rounded iPhone which make them squarer. But it just adds so much material to the sides.
"I wear my wrist on my right wrist---you okay, Marques? Haha. Not very excited about that watch, are we? Lol. Love you, man.
☝️☝️Congratulations you have been selected as a winner.
"EVENT though I'm a lefty"
I love how casual he is in this video. no over the top professionalism, or altering his tone, yet it's still tidy. I really appreciate it when people just talk to me like their relaxed selves rather than try to sell me an exaggerated version of themselves.
Can’t wait for the 50mm Apple Watch 12
Can’t wait for the new iPhone integrated band so I can tie my phone to my forearm 😂
I upgraded from a series 4 40mm to the series 7 45mm and I am impressed with the display honestly! And I love the color 😍 I am happy with mine thus far
What color did you get? I got Starlight 45mm.
Why would you want a square apple watch? The design is perfect man
Agreed those square concepts were ugly change just for the sake of change is a bad idea. The concepts looked like a cheap Apple Watch knockoff.
A year ago I discovered MKBHD on the Apple Watch series 6 video. I’ve watched half his whole channel ever since
*Marques:* I wear the watch on my right wrist even though I'm not a lefty.
*Me:* I thought I was the only one :o
I do as well but it’s due to heavy black tattoos on my left wrist. I used to wear it there until this year when my tattoos got in the way of the sensors too much , been right wrist for about 7 months now. I’m almost used to it.
@@user-gu3nb7ko5d 😐
Have you tried charging it on top of a magsafe charger/wireless 1 or does it still only work with the puck?
That intro is so sick!
I’m still using the Apple watch that came out in 2019 not sure which one it is. Still going strong too but might upgrade this yr
In 2019 Apple Watch series 5 came out.
you should talk about how apple deleted the exact same app that was available, offering a keyboard for the watch, and how they added it to their watchOS update soon after :)
Apple banned a developer who made a swipe keyboard for WatchOS and then stole his idea
I think Apple tried buying his idea, but the guy said no so Apple banned his watch app and stole it for themselves :/
That's f*ed up... Makes me wish somebody cyberattacks Apple (laughs in 15 year-old kid from Australia)
Typical day in the office
@@tylerkimble455 nah they sent him a message on why his app wasn’t allowed lol, after they approved his app.
@@Dior444L ahh okay
I wear my watch on right wrist as well, and I'm not a lefty either. :)
I'm not even tech savvy and Marques makes these videos so entertaining
That is one slick looking watch band! Congrats on the collaboration and great design!
MKBHD the only dude who makes millions a month then acts like he can’t afford the stainless steel watches LOL
I thought he didn’t like buying stainless steel because fingerprints show on it
Just because u can afford something dont mean u have to go out and but a certain watch maybe he just don’t want that particular watch
He still reviews stuff for most of the people, so he has to speak for most of the people.. Also, stainless steel watches are heavier so not the best for when you're doing sport. How incredibly light the aluminium watches are, makes you forget that you're wearing them, especially people who wear it to bed.
He is a typical TH-camr
@@chaotictattoo what’s the point of such a useless comment?
I'm still using my Series 2. Have used it almost 27/7 for five years+! Think it might be time to upgrade :D.
Same 😇
I just got the series 7 today and it’s my first watch. I find it awesome
Series 4 is still the way to go for me. Maybe next year i will consider upgrading.
Tbh I have a series 1 and I can’t tell much difference between my watch and my bros series 7
@@Nemenis series 1 is usable but slow
@@Ryanink1 it’s a watch not a PC. You only really use it to look at the time or check bp which is hella rare
@@Nemenis well even to check simple notifications it is slow. I would have actually continued to use my
Series 1 but the battery expanded and blew out.
@@Ryanink1 I agree with that tho battery suck
“I wear my WRIST on my right WRIST”
Right, got it.
I was waiting series 7 review, finally it’s here. Let’s go!
I’m still using the series 7 will upgrade to the ultra 3 this year
I’d love to see a comparison between the 42 mm series 3 and the 41 mm series 7
He’s a comparison for you, the Apple Watch series 3 is older, smaller, cheaper and has less features the Apple Watch series 7 is bigger, newer, expensive and includes more features
Agreed, comparison in terms of physical size on the wrist. I will be going from the 42mm series 3 to the 45mm series 7, which doesn't sound substantial, but just may be in reality.
@@joescheiman Apple Watch Series 3 is 41mm not 42mm not 42 inches it’s 41mm. Educate yourself. The brain is a muscle, use it or lose it.
@@zainbhayani1539 aren't you just a ray of sunshine. The Series 3 IS indeed 42mm (look it up), and where does anyone even talk about inches in terms of size?
@@joescheiman well aren’t you just the whitest little macadamia nut on the brightest day of a Kansas summer in the far side of the barn, I was obvious referring to the Apple Watch series 3 42mm with 1 mm cut off if you even cared to get the correct reference
Just upgraded from the 38 mm series 3 Apple Watch to the 45 mm series 7 Apple Watch! Loving it!
My Series 5 is still going strong, battery life is okay even after around 1.5 years and no reason to upgrade until Series 9 or 10, or it'll probably be my last smartwatch.
Same I got the Silver stainless steel Apple Watch, still works like a champ, my battery health is at 81% so I might have to get the battery replaced.
I have the series 3 and was wondering if I should trade in and upgrade. I need a fuller screen for how poor my sight is. I also just like a sleeker look. Hmmm lol.
Wait for the s8 like myself. There should be a design change as well as a bigger screen.
Thanks for mentioning the color options. I only got the stainless version for the neutral color. Not happy about it but figured with something always on my wrist its important.
You are absolutely right Marques, no "neutral" color in aluminum. I love the space black or graphite, and one can only hope that Apple adds it to their line-up next year.
I got one for my mom as a first time Apple Watch wearer, I think this is like several months later but getting her a green one, the colour is really barely noticeable unless it's direct sunlight, so if you're hoping for a bright pop it's not it...it's quite dull.
Second issue is that by getting her the smaller watch, battery life with probably the smallest amount of use is still pretty bad...it regularly drops like 20~ percent within a 3-4 hours being mostly idle and not even having always-on display on or even exercise or anything...just regular texts and some email notifications causes it to lose that much....I have an SE 44mm size and mine lasts a good long day easily.
So just something to be aware of (the smaller 41mm series 7 is so bad I've turned off the blood oxygen to try and save some battery life)
41mm is the size of the case, not the screen. The small series 7 screen is actually bigger than the the big SE screen corner to corner.
I go running and leave my phone at home, so a larger screen watch is HUGE improvement for me and those of us into sports.
lmao, this is literally the opposite.
Yeah 20% “Huge” improvement 🤣
This man , " at the risk of tanking this video and it's watch time."
Me: *a person who doesn't own any apple products and doesn't plan on getting one* Bigger screen you say hmm 🤔 what else is new. ( Continues to watch whole video)
"I wear my wrist on my right wrist Event though I'm not a lefty" me too Marques, me too.
No kidding. I got into a T-bone motorbike accident 3 months back. Apart from a few scratches on the screen and the case, the watch works miraculously well after an impact straight on the tarmac.. Most durable Apple Watch.. Maybe they're not just marketing words !! (Aluminium)
That watch band hit me on the face even before I notice it's MKBHD related.. awesome design .. great material choice.. sadly I never use Apple watches. Hope moment and marquees do some designs for Android bands. 🙏🙏
I really love you’re reviewers. I’m not on the market but you’re videos are always really good. I’ve had my AppleWatch SE for a little over a year and I love it and don’t see anything on the newer models worth switching for…in case anyone is in the market for a new watch
For anyone wondering, my Apple Watch came in. It’s the “midnight” color and I think it’s safe to say it’s basically black. Can’t even tell it’s not.
At this Point I watch mkbhd videos not for the sake of knowing about the product he reviews, but the cool production quality of his videos! esp the intros
can confirm the watch band is 🔥😮💨
Nice incremental upgrade.
What I REALLY need is improved scratch-resistance (hardness) on the screen. I work around SiC abrasives and they put deep scratches in the screen easily. If they can’t improve the hardness, then at least make the screen flat so I can put a film-type screen protector on it.
