The Apple Watch Series 7 is here and I had made my mind that I probably wasn't going to upgrade from my Series 4. But that changed after the larger screen does more than I expected. Is it worth an upgrade for you?

I like this review as the person reviewing it has a series 4 himself. This is how a lot of people will see the new watch. Most reviewers focus way to much on the difference from 6 to 7. Most customers don't upgrade every year. Also, like cars, computers, and now phones, they have them locked down so they just fine tune things now.

I had my series 0 from the day it was first released in space black stainless steel. It’s still running like new and has better battery life that when it was brand new. But i upgraded to the titanium series 7 because i deserve to have a nice watch.

Wow Kevin, I thought I was the only on with the 0 watch. Still using it. Might upgrade to Garmin just for the battery

@KevinEscobarCo 2 года назад

@Dmon ! i guess it has to do with the fact that it’s pushing less information now. It just tells me the time and notifies me of texts and calls and directions when i have my gps. Besides that, it doesn’t do much else. The HR monitor is always running but i would think since there aren’t as many apps running, it’s more efficient than it used to be. I have not changed the battery.

I had a series 1 up to a month ago when I accidentally dropped it face down on porcelain tile while taking it off 🤦🏽‍♀️ i only upgraded to the series 3 because i didn’t see any real ground breaking changes to make me go with the series 6 or 7 plus i got it for $179 at Best Buy ☺️

@melmixpita543 2 года назад

Thank you! You're the only one who went into details about the glass and clarified the ionx and sapphire glass was still a thing. Apple didn't go into details about that at their event. And yes I very much agree... I've wanted to go all in on the watch and ditch my phone, but it's just not possible because of the software. Too many things are missing.

@jconeybeare1 2 года назад

I bought a 6 in June, I really contemplated waiting for a 7 worried that I’d miss out on something magical. From what I’ve seen the 7 is great but I’m not missing out on much.

@Fighting_Irish184 11 месяцев назад

Got a second hand series 6 with cellular and upgraded from my series 3. The new larger screen is great. The new health options, the new watch faces, the seamless integration with my other apple devices and especially the fast charging is so great 😊 My son got my old Apple Watch 3 which still has 85% battery capacity!

@hartgemini007 2 года назад

Great video-I’ve just ordered the 7 as the current 4 Nike I have is great but as someone with poor eyesight and uses the fitness apps everyday I’m sure the extra screen size will be a huge plus, also not having to wake the screen which on the 4 is surprisingly annoying is going to be so much better in terms of general usage.

@sakenu16 2 года назад

Brian great review as always but wonder does the apple watch series 7 have a way to turn off the brightness sensor. I have the apple watch se and compared to my apple watch 2 it does not get as bright in dark areas and I prefer to have that control. Thanks again for review.

@owenjohnson5030 2 года назад

I am going from a Series 4 GPS to the Series 7 Cellular. The bigger size/screen and the pulse-ox sensor are the biggest drivers for me upgrading. I ride a bike indoors using a smart trainer and Zwift. When I'm pushing hard I sometimes use a pulse-ox sensor to check my oxygen level. Having this built into the watch will be nice.

@seangaskin7608 2 года назад

Thank you for this great review of the Apple watch Series 7. I bought the series 6 last year. A friend got the Series 6 in the 44m screen. I liked it so much better. So, I decided to treat myself to the new series 7 45mm screen. I just love it, what a difference the bigger screen makes. (Bigger is Better…I agree with you, Apple does need to come up with more watch faces. You would think we would have 100s to choose from. Thanks again for your awesome review.

@00SNIVY00 2 года назад

I think I'll wait for next year. I upgraded my phone this year from the SE, but I think I'll hold off on upgrading my watch, the Series 4 is great still, the bigger screen would be nice, but I can't imagine it being as much of an improvement for how much I use it. Biggest benefit would be battery life probably, I'd probably turn on the wrist gesture to activate the screen if I upgraded, but that's about it. If they improved the battery life more, I'd be much more interested.

@CaliWaliDoDaDay 2 года назад

Hey Brian thanks for the great review. So if the 7 is louder in speaker mode I am down for it. Now just to find out where is the best deal with promo's.

@lisahurst1940 2 года назад

Going from a 3 to the 7 in the 41mm. The 3 was starting to be inaccurate with steps taken, number of stairs climbed and just getting slow and glitchy. Some points to also consider: The Fall detection is a plus as is the o2 sensor and heart rate monitor. Ladies please don’t be like me and fail to realize that is females have different symptoms for heart attacks. Most times they are silent and not the traditional chest pain and grabber that takes you to the ground. So those 2 features alone may save your life. Plus, for me, the sleep monitoring is also important. Love the new watch face and this review was great! Keep up the good work! Love the Green band too!
