Released in October 2021, the Apple Watch Series 7 is the latest and greatest product in Apple’s smartwatch line. It made several improvements over the previous model, including a bigger screen, faster charging capability, and more durability than its predecessors. 

On top of the standard smartwatch features (like sending/receiving messages and tracking your steps), the Series 7 also lets you measure your blood oxygen, take an ECG, and analyze your sleep — which is a huge bonus if you’re health-conscious. It’s also dust-, water-, and crack-resistant, so you can feel comfortable taking it on even the hardest workouts.

The Series 7 comes in aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel finishes, with colors like green, blue, graphite, silver, and gold. It’s also available in the special-edition Apple Watch Nike and Apple Watch Hermès collections. Depending on how you’d like to use your watch (and your budget), you can choose from either GPS or GPS + Cellular connectivity, but be aware you’ll pay $100 more for the latter option.

Pros

• Larger display
• Faster charging
• Health-focused features
• Resistant to water, dust, and cracks
