From the display to the design, the Series 7 sees many changes as compared to the Series 6. It comes in two sizes – 41mm and 45mm. Its price in India starts from Rs 41,900. We have used this watch for a few days and have brought you its review. For review, we have got 45mm GPS + Cellular variant with aluminum case.

Apple Watch Series 7 has given you two new watch faces – Contour and Modular Duo.

How is the battery life
Users who have used smartwatches with battery life of 10 to 12 days may find the battery backup of Apple Watch a little less. Its battery lasts only for one to one and a half days. Apple claims that the Apple Watch Series 7 can last up to 18 hours on a single charge.
It is the same as last year’s model. But still, Apple says the new Apple Watch offers 33 percent faster charging. It takes about 2 hours 50 minutes for the smartwatch to be fully charged.
