- I have been using the Apple Watch Series 7 daily for the past three months now and while I was initially impressed by Apple's larger display watch when I first used it, I have some updated thoughts about using the watch after multiple months of testing and using it through software updates and fixes, and some more findings on just how good this watch is from its design, features, battery life, and durability.

I came from the series 1 on release date to the series 7 and the watch just feels massive, premium, and like the best and coolest purchase I’ve made. I never thought an upgrade would be this satisfying
I went from the Series 3 to Series 7, and I think it was a pretty nice upgrade. My Series 3 started to feel clunky at about the 30 month mark after one of the mid year security updates (which is really what slows ALL these devices down). Unless there was some quiet hardware upgrade that occurred to prevent the sluggishness, I'm very surprised that Apple kept the Series 3 as an option for as long as they did.
I ended up upgrading from a Nike AW2 to a Black Titanium AW7. The AW7 is in Space Black which is a “Diamond Like Coating” (DLC) that is one of the most durable and scratch resistant finishes, and provides a great match for the black link bracelet which also has a DLC finish!
I had 2 apple watches before this one series 3 and series 5 and upgraded to my series 7 2 months ago and am loving it. I can see so much better on it and am trying to use all the perks that it came with. It’s so much more than a watch to me.
First time user of the apple watch and I went with the Series 7 Graphite Stainless steel with the Milanese loop. I think it is fantastic. Nice weight to the watch although for working out I switch to the sport band. Looks and feels premium and great exclusive watch face designs that you can’t get on the series 6. Overall very impressed.
Bought the graphite 45mm, upgrading from series 2, it’s frigging awesome. My old one has been on my wrist continually apart from charging, this one will be more so as the between charges is that much longer.
Coming from a super slow, 38 mm Series 3 for about 2 months shy of 3 years…not to mention the fact that I forgot downloading Watch apps were a thing because of the looooooow low memory…upgrading to the Series 7 has been great, and I don’t regret it a bit. While I do wish the battery life was better (my S3 was at 94% battery health before trading it in, and I haven’t seen much of a difference so far👀…), I use the fast-charging feature often throughout my day, and since I sleep with my Watch on every night, I appreciate the fast-charging even more ‘cause there are times I forget to charge it before getting ready for bed.
The Series 7 was my first ever Watch and I’m loving it. I purchased the midnight aluminum and I’m enjoying it so much. Very happy with my choice.
Hey....Same to me....
do you use screen protector on your watch???
Is it worth it ?
@@ayushdas_01 yes. To me it is with it. Especially at work where I can’t always be reaching for my phone. I can easily reply to text and answer calls. I got the 41mm because the 45 seams a a little too bulky to me, but I have no problem using or seeing the display.
@@MdSayem-ww7dm I use a bumper case with a built-in screen protector. Does not add much bulk to it.
@@robertomartinez5032 send link?
Back in November, I upgraded from the Series 1 to Series 7. I’ve not fully taken advantage of the new features, but do enjoy using the full keyboard, waterproof features & larger screen. I’ve not yet used the new charging pin as I don’t have a fast charge USB C charging brick, however I did notice that the battery life was substantially longer on the series 7 compared to the series 1
Its not waterproof dont fool your self
@@Madyro lol
@@Madyro Are you sure?
Its good for up to 50m, plus it also has the function to eject any water if it’s been submerged.
@@simonochana3189 water eject is only for the speaker if water gets ij tye device your fucked aint no saving the watch
@@simonochana3189 and that 50m means that it can handle watch pressure up 50m if your swimming uou r increasing the water pressure on the watch so you cant swim at 50m its means it can handle the water pressure up te 50m and that is perfect conditions
I live my Series 7..the bigger screen is great..it’s like you don’t see a difference at first but when your wearing it and look at the screen, you see it..the keyboard is a huge plus..makes like with the watch so much easier..
hi so i have this issue, im wondering how i switch from a draw keyboard to the normal one. Sometimes when i go on messages the regular keyboard will pop in but most times the draw keyboard will & i haven’t figured out how to switch it, i alr tried in settings & with the keyboard itself i have tried everything & nothing works please let me know i
although sapphire is more scratch resistant than ion x glass, it is less shatter resistant than ion x glass. that may be an important consideration who those intend to use the watch during various physical activities, where shattering may be a risk
Hi Greg, I am a subscriber since 2021. I am still stuck with apple watch 3, the reason is because, when I got my apple 3, I did not see any warning that when I get a call, text messages, my phone will not ring only on the Apple Watch, but I miss mostly the text messages, coz I can’t hear it or not loud enough. I did ask apple support and they say that’s how it is. So I am reluctant to upgrade, Does the new 7 and SE still have the same problem?
Bought the Starlight. Returned it after a week. Now have the S7 45 Graphite Stainless Steel. It’s perfect. Love the silver though.
I came from a Series 2 and it’s not night and day in terms of its fundamental use, rather it’s night and day in terms of speed and usability. It just does things instantly!
Same
Hello! At 2:02 you have “now playing” little icon up on your watch face. I am asking you is there any way that if you use youtube on your phone the battery on your watch discharge faster?
I mentioned that I toggle off Auto-Launch Audio Apps but i still have that little white dot at 12 (up).
Question! Does the aluminum and SE the only watches that have GPS only option? Because the I don’t see the stainless steel with a gps only option.
I came from a series 6 to a 7 45mm and though not much difference my big decision was the keyboard and bigger screen that I decided to go with 7 I’ve tried so many 3rd party keyboards over time and they just sucked and wouldn’t work the way I hoped and had to take extra steps to use them. I’m very happy with my series 7 and I use it daily for things like reminders, phone, text, podcasts and music hehe(can’t forget those things lol) among other things they are very useful. Good review you make an honest review and enjoy your thoughts on devices you seem openly honest. Have a great week and stay safe.
I have a Series 6 aluminum & I'm honestly thinking of trading it in for a 7 Titanium. I like the bigger screen and keyboard (I hate Scribble) & after always having a aluminum model, I want to try out a Watch with better build materials. I always get screen protectors so it would be nice to see if I could get away without one on the titanium model with its sapphire display. Do you think it was a worthwhile update from the 6 to the 7 for you?
I plan on upgrading from the Series 5, mostly because I want that bigger screen and the battery life on my Series 5 is kinda shotty
Please suggest how to improve battery backup of Apple Watch series 7
New to Apple watches and have 1 question about the cellular option. Do I have to pay for another provider plan or does it connect with my existing iPhone SIM/provider?
@@angiec314 do you pay your cellular provider or apple?
Thanks for sharing. I have the Series 7 stainless steel (gold) and enjoy the larger display. Blessings on your day.
Is this the 41 or 45 mm watch in the video? I have a 7 inch wrist and wanted to compare with the video. Thanks!
Great video.
Smart choice, I did the same. That Steel model just does it.
Thanks for the info- pricier but the more durable sapphire crystal matters. I’ve had same experience, spending less on the aluminum version, then going back to stainless. Too many scratches…guess I’m clumsy as well! Drove me nuts
How do tell which crystal you bought?
@@geekmeee Aluminum versions- Ion X glass. Stainless & Titanium have Sapphire crystal glass.
Should i upgrade from series 1?
It sucks, my first one scratch by slightly hitting the door, my second one fell of my wrist and it scratch from a waist down altitude 😑 never did that happen to me to my series 3
What iphone is that. The bezels look like an iphone xr or 11 but the notch looks like a 13. Im confused
I love my series 7. It just feels so premium to use and wear every day
I positively adore my apple watch! You helped me figure out what I wanted it for, and even though one of the things (fitness+) isn’t available here in Sweden, even just having the heartrate sensor and gamification of activity is worth it for me. I wish I could have one more complication on the jellyfish screen, but hopefully in the future :D. We even just got the new SE for one of my children who cannot be trusted with a mobile phone and whose heart rate we need to monitor because of medication. I am just so thrilled at this product. The 7 really is far superior, though, if only for that fast charge. The SE charges SO SLOWLY!
I agree about the silver one, too. I bought the graphite steel because I love the dark colour, but I do think that the silver is prettier over time.
I positively cherished your review!
Wait how did you get a magnetic band? I bought my 8 year old the aluminum starlight but i like yours more since its more durable. I may go exchange it. We just got it yesterday. But where did you get your wrist band from?
I love my Apple 🍎 watch i had the SE now i upgraded to the Series 7 45mm Graphite stain steel love this watch battery 🔋 life an screen size great investment
I bought the series 6 over a year ago. Between the slightly bigger screen and the keyboard I can’t upgrade yet. If the 8 adds a blood pressure meter or some other really cool feature I’ll probably upgrade but for now I’m fine with my 6
I had a series 5. I bought the 7 because I got tired of having to squint to read corner complications on watch faces like count up…now i can quickly glance and see whatever details i have. The text is now much bigger and its vastly improved my experience for me personally. Also like how it charges so fast and the slightly brighter display. Now all we need is for apple to do a 46mm version with better battery so the text doesnt have to shrink when the watch switches to always on display. Hate that the nike watch faces turn off their solid color background when AOD kicks in….the purple gradient on the nike bounce watch face is great.Also I am curious why the apple watch has never had a thermometer especially with the current pandemic would have thought they would have dropped a thermometer in addition to the blood oxygen sensor.
I have the series 4, my wife just got the 7. Even though I'm trying to find a valid reason to upgrade, I just can't justify it at this point. Which really speaks volumes at how well Apple Watches stand up to time.
I have a series 4 as well. I only buy Stainless Steel Apple Watches so the price needs to be justified in my mind lol. I'm literally at this point trying to force myself to find a reason to upgrade. There's not enough reason.
@@justforthetv did you upgrade or no? I have the series 4 too 😭 and it’s still working great
I just broke my Series 4. Stil usesable, but there is some glas faling off all the time. Soooo I might have to upgrade. Right? Right?!
@@rabusse yep it’s gonna cost you an arm and leg to repair so just get a new one
Did you get the series 4 when it came out years ago? If so, how is your battery health doing? Are you able to get a full days worth of battery?
does it have to be like cellular to use the text msg and call?
I upgraded from my Series 4 and I love the series 7. Big upgrade for me!!! Love all the new features that I did not have before.
I don't think the series 7 is worth it because the small upgrades are nice but it would be much nicer to just wait another year, and get those same upgrades plus other upgrades
i´m still on the Series 2. Battery 2 days and I think that it´s worth the wait to Series 8.
Does the leather band pop off easy
I have the SE no cellular data one I’m loving it Minus the two new Features
Bought the blue 45mm I upgraded from amazfit. Had it for a month now technically longer but was in hospital when it arrived. I am happy with the purchase will never go back to amazfit if I can help it
Very thoughtful review, touching on most relevant points I was looking for, upgrading from a series 3. Thanks very much.
Can i use scribble with this 7 series? I cannot figure it out…HELP! Please
Thank you very much for the excellent job. Greetings from Guyana
Your watch is scratch-free and very clean! Did you polish it, or is the silver color also somewhat resistant to scratches?
This is my first watch so i really don’t care much about the others because I’ve never used them lol and this watch is mind blowing i love it! It’s just amazing 🤩
I get what you’re saying about if you’re coming from a 6 to a 7 then you don’t really see much of a difference but I recently just came from a 4 to a 7 and it was a huge difference to me. I love my 7. The reason why I didn’t run out and get a new watch every time Apple came out with one, I just didn’t see anything special about them. Yes, I may not have the blood oxygen and all of that but I swayed more to the software updates and what my 4 could still do with them if that makes any sense 🤣 what me and my dad would do is rather upgrade our phones than our watches but we are definitely happy with our Series 7
I have the series 2 upgraded to the Apple watch 7 aluminium case GPS
Never had a smartwatch. Still deciding if I should switch over to the smartwatch world. Might go to Apple Watch series 7 if I do.
I had the original Apple Watch, so series 7 is a nice upgrade. I use my old watch each night while I charge Series 7 watch, to allow 24 hour heart pulse tracking since I have afib. Thank you for you video.
Never had a smart watch and want one for monitoring my heart for afib also. esp during sleep. I forgot that’s when I normally charge all my devices so glad you mentioned that point.
⌚️How receptive was your cardiologist to the watch data?
⌚️Can it still monitor you while charging? (I can’t get 2, barely the one)
⌚️does it continuously run an ecg or do you have to do spot checks when you suspect your having a problem?
Any insight will be appreciated ( it’s a big chunk of change). I’m not looking for a toy or status symbol I’m wanting a tool to help monitor health and vital signs. Thanks for your honest comment and tip.
Thanks Great Video!! I’m going to purchase one LOVE THIS NEW 007 technology
What is the size of the stainless steel Apple Watch in the video?
I have an older series Apple watch that works great! It's 40mm so I'm wondering if the same bands fit the Series 7 41mm watch, or even attach the same. I do still love my rose gold color that's no longer available. Thanks for the review...it helps!
It should. I upgraded from series 3 38 to SE 44 and used the 38 size band and it fit. I now have the 7.
I’m upgrading from the SE. Seems like a pretty substantial update in my case
Totally agree. I also think there are lots of good things on this series. I got space black titanium 45mm
I have the SE 40mm LTE, Series 6 44mm LTE, and I have the starlight Series 7 45mm GPS.
Which watch face are you using.. it really looks awesome
I’m upgrading from the series 3 to the series 7. Hope that the upgrade will be worth it.
I ended up getting two SEs today from Verizon for $99 each. And with my military acct the data plan is under $5 per month. This is my first Apple Watch I always used a Fossil watch. I’m looking forward to going to the gym without having to lug around my phone. I appreciate you explaining the differences because for what I’ll be using it for I think this is the best option for me :)
as owner of series 2 -> series 7, wow just wow. worth it!
What is the little tiny lightning green sign up on top of my Apple Watch face anybody know
this is my firsst smart watch and i ordered the gold case stainless steel with silver milanese loop. i hope it does me good an i like it.
I just dropped my series 2 today. It was working perfectly. Almost six years now.
Which face did you choose to get the rainbow numerical display? I love it!
1:26 please someone can tell me where I can buy now a white leathers strap like this. Thanks
I had the series 3 until I lost it during a mission. I have just ordered the 7 and am excited to have it already!
Talking to your watch while being out in public, seems a little crazy. I do agree with you on that one.
Hey, where did you get that white loop? 😳
I’m one of those who stuck with my Series 6. I like the stainless steel versions, so $749 was too much to spend for such a small upgrade. If I had been using aluminum watches all along, I probably would have gone for the upgrade. I will likely get the Series 8.
I stuck with my series 6 because im not one of those people that upgrade every year
It's 349.00 though. Not 700
@@redpandagi Stainless steel. I don’t like the aluminum ones. The cheapest 45mm stainless steel version is $749.
@@techinrl9869 I feel like putting a case on the watch negates the need to buy the more sturdy stainless steel version but other then that what are some other things you find different between the two?
@@techinrl9869 699$ actually
this is my first apple watch and i think it is incredible
I have a series 4 and i’ve been disappointed with everything single update since
I like the aluminum over the stainless because it’s lighter and therefore feels more comfortable on my wrist. I have a Series 6, and will probably upgrade to a Series 8 when it comes out.
was thinking to get my first ever apple watch series 7 but i think ill be waiting for the 8 too.
What I have a really hard problem with, is silver stainless steel or graphite stainless steel. I don’t know which one to get 😭😣
On a series 4 and has done me well over the years, I may upgrade to the series 8 when it arrives
Bruh I bought an Apple Watch series 0 on release date and only use it like 3 times a year and now I’m debating on whether to buy the s7 or a tissot prx
Now that the Series 8 has been released, the Series 7 Stainless models are in the refurb store at some great prices. I'm so tempted to finally upgrade from my Series 3 Stainless to one of those refurb 7s. My S3 still looks brand new so I can definitely vouch for the durability of the stainless steel models.
I updated finally my AW 3 to 7 celular
funny to see this video with the perspective that the 8 is barely any better than 7... I bought a series 7 cell for $400 instead of an 8 for $530~
Series 7 is my 2nd watch, coming from the first generation watch, been on the fence on buying another Apple Watch until recently
The month of February has a trade in special for the series 7 so I jumped on it and my new 7 will arrive Monday.
I’ve currently have an S5. Had it for a pretty long time now. Have a case on it. Rhinoshield. It keeps the Watch looking brand new. Would case up the s7 so think I’d lose the coolness of the edge. Long story short…think I might just stay with the 5.
The thing I don’t like about my apple 7 watch is the battery life. It’s brand new and barely holds a charge through the day. I have always on display but that’s all I do. Boh
Anyone’s bands seem to wiggle around when connected to watch? Series 7
The steel on the stainless scratch 5x easier then the ion glass
I agree with Greg coming from the S6 in that the S7 is not a huge upgrade but a bigger one than I thought reading the previous reviews. I enjoy the S7 Nike 45 mm midnight and the bigger display and the faster charging which comes in handy a lot for me. They didn't need to upgrade the CPU it's plenty fast and the Nike watch faces are cool. I recommend getting the Nike Edition as the price is pretty close. They keyboard is also a bigger deal than I thought. For me it is the difference between between banging out a message quickly and not bothering. I don't regret upgrading to S7 from S6 at all.
Just ordered my first Apple Watch - Series 7 Nike edition in Starlight. Can’t wait!
Series 7 is my 1st watch. For years I never see a reason to own one now I’m glad. Mainly to track my calories burned.
It’s my first Apple Watch . Love it so far
I have the 45mm 7. It's a good watch.
Is this a 41 mm or 45 mm ?
The opening of this video was so adorable. The rest of the video great as well
What face is that with the colors?
thannkk you! yes guys this does work
I Have a question can you call 911 without the cellular option?
Just upgraded mine from 6 to 7 like the keyboard and bigger screen
But the fast charge is a definitely a key feature
I do a 2 hour work out at 4am and go to work at 7am, I work for 8 hours and then I am up until 9pm, my battery deosn't dip below 50% ever on a the 6th Gen. I have no idea why a faster charge would be required tbh. Mine is sim enabled and I use it as a phone daily. there just isn't enough of a difference from 6 to 7 to warant an upgrade unless you are just splashing the cash.
I mean the only use I see for the keyboard is; answering messages. I don’t see why we would use it for something else.
Literally just got my Apple Watch brand new and it won’t charge or restart so now I have to go exchange it
s8 or se2 or s7??
Well I’m coming from a series 4 so for me it’s worth it 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks Greg. Appreciate this video. For me though, I’m still considering waiting for the series 8. As perhaps that one will sport a greater group of updates. For now, I’m quite happy with my series 6. So am also glad you still feel that model is quite satisfactory. Anyway, take care.
Greg looks like Ron desantis.
Surprise surprise, the las Apple watch released is the best you can get. I wonder if the next one would be the best you can get.
