Apple announced Apple Watch Series 7, featuring the largest and most advanced Apple Watch display ever - and a reengineered Always-On Retina display with significantly more screen area and thinner borders. The watch is available to order online and available in stores starting Friday, October 15.
The design of Apple Watch Series 7 is refined with softer, more rounded corners, and the display has a unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case.

Users benefit from the same all-day 18-hour battery life, now complemented by 33 percent faster charging.
Available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, Apple Watch Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever, with a stronger, more crack-resistant front crystal. It is the first Apple Watch to have an IP6X certification for resistance to dust, and maintains a WR50 water resistance rating.
