Whether your watch is looking a bit rough around the edges or you\u2019re simply ready for some new features, there\u2019s no shame in taking a look through some newer models.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a newer Apple Watch that has upgraded features without a steep price point, we suggest you buy Apple Watch Series 7. Here\u2019s why the Apple Watch Series 7 is still worth buying, even after the release of the Series 8!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>In this blog:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#when\">When was the Apple Watch Series 7 released?<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#why\">Why is an Apple Watch Series 7 worth it?<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#price\">Price<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#features\">Features<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#design\">Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"#battery\">Battery life<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"when\">When was the Apple Watch Series 7 released?<\/h2>\n<p>The Apple Watch Series 7 was announced in September of 2021 with a release date of October 2021, so it\u2019s still a relatively new model to consider when looking to upgrade your watch.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the Apple Watch Series 8 made its debut in September 2022, knocking the Series 7 model down from the newest Apple Watch model. Does that mean you shouldn\u2019t bother with the Apple Watch Series 7 though? We don\u2019t think so!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why\">Why is an Apple Watch Series 7 worth it?<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"price\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Price<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/omar-al-ghosson-YdXkW5NDVxY-unsplash.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15491 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/omar-al-ghosson-YdXkW5NDVxY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/omar-al-ghosson-YdXkW5NDVxY-unsplash.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/omar-al-ghosson-YdXkW5NDVxY-unsplash-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/omar-al-ghosson-YdXkW5NDVxY-unsplash-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the Apple Watch Series 8 still pretty fresh on the market, you may be wondering \u201cis it worth upgrading to Apple Watch 7 now that the Series 8 is out?\u201d Absolutely it is!<\/p>\n<p>While the Series 8 might outperform the Series 7 on features and specs (and only just, at that), the price when you buy Apple Watch 7 compared to the Series 8 model is just one clear reason as to why you should consider buying the Series 7 instead.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a little thing called depreciation, you\u2019re more likely to get a better deal on the Apple Watch Series 7, as it\u2019s no longer the newest model on the market. As new models are released, it results in the older models reducing in value, and so you\u2019ll usually find that older models have a lower price.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re looking to upgrade without your bank balance taking too much of a hit, the Series 7 is a great option!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"features\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Features<\/h3>\n<p>When looking at the features the Apple Watch Series 7 has to offer, it\u2019s not far from what the newest model has under its belt.<\/p>\n<p>You can take the Series 7 into the shower, or even go diving (up to 50 metres), and it\u2019s fully dust-resistant. The display of the Series 7 now cascades over the edges of the watch face and has a new watchOS interface for ease of use. The glass has also been reinforced to minimize accidental damage.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of sensors, the Apple Watch Series 7 offers a blood oxygen sensor, ECG function for atrial fibrillation, and an improved heart sensor. The Series 8 offers the sensors mentioned above, along with Crash Detection for drivers and body temperature tracking, with a focus on ovulation and fertility tracking.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re desperate for those extra features, then it may be worthwhile to purchase the Series 8. However, if you\u2019re not in need of those extra few sensors, then you won\u2019t miss out if you buy Apple Watch Series 7!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"design\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Design<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thai-nguyen-Xd43ux-giY8-unsplash.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15493 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thai-nguyen-Xd43ux-giY8-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thai-nguyen-Xd43ux-giY8-unsplash.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thai-nguyen-Xd43ux-giY8-unsplash-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thai-nguyen-Xd43ux-giY8-unsplash-768x501.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If your current Apple Watch just isn\u2019t cutting it anymore due to its small size, you\u2019ll probably benefit from upgrading to the Series 7.<\/p>\n<p>The Apple Watch Series 7 has increased by 20% when compared to the previous Series 6 model. The larger OLED display is helpful when texting, reading information and looking at exercise stats.<\/p>\n<p>For those thinking \u201cwhich size Apple Watch 7 should I get\u201d there are two options: 41mm and 45mm. Unlike previous models, the Series 7 offers an extra inch of display.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering \u201cwhich Apple Watch 7 colour should I get?\u201d You can choose from blue, white, black, red, and a new deep green.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"battery\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Battery life<\/h3>\n<p>Want to know if the battery will be better if you buy Apple Watch 7 compared to your older model? The Series 7 actually has the exact same lifespan as the previous model, lasting up to 18 hours.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Series 7 does benefit from faster charging speeds &#8211; 33% faster, in fact. This is due to the new magnetic charging cable provided when you buy Apple Watch Series 7.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering \u201cshould I charge my Apple Watch 7 every night?\u201d While you can, thanks to the faster charging speeds, it\u2019s not necessary.
