Overall, what particularly attracted the attention of the first testers was thenew screen size of the Apple Watch Series 7. The latter is larger than on the Apple Watch Series 6. This is also one of the only changes to note for this new generation of Apple watch, given that many ingredients have remained the same from one year to year, notably the processor chip. All the same, several journalists conclude in their test that this is the best Apple Watch ever produced by Apple, more solid than ever, but also more comfortable to use than any other current or old model.
It is true that the screen of this new watch, even if barely larger than on the old versions, seems quite pleasant to use. Note, however, that the Apple Watch Series 7 offers some interesting developments on top of that, faster charging, full software keyboard in watchOS, better panel brightness and new case finishes and colors.
What is the stock status?
Rumors had announced before its release, Apple was unable to amass large stocks for its Apple Watch Series 7. Consequently, delivery times quickly lengthened. Depending on the models,you have to wait until December to receive your copy. Here are some examples of delivery times:
- Apple Watch Series 7 41 mm aluminum case (GPS version): 6 to 7 weeks delivery
- Apple Watch Series 7 45 mm aluminum case (GPS + Cellular version): 6 to 7 weeks delivery
- Apple Watch Series 7 stainless steel case 41 mm (GPS version): 4 to 5 weeks delivery
- Apple Watch Series 7 stainless steel case 45 mm (GPS version): 6 to 7 weeks delivery
- Apple Watch Series 7 41 mm titanium case (GPS + Cellular version): 5 to 6 weeks
If you want to buy an Apple Watch Series 7, we therefore advise you to avoid the Apple online store with delivery for the moment. Try one of these solutions instead:
- Buy the watch on the Apple website, but withcollection in store
- Go to an Apple Store for apurchase in store
- Go to athird-party physical reseller (Darty, La Fnac, Boulanger, Apple reseller, etc.)
- Buy the watchonline from a third-party reseller (Amazon, Cdiscount, Boulanger, Darty, etc.)
Regarding the last solution, we noticed that certain watches unavailable from Apple are delivered much faster than from Apple. This is the case with Boulanger, but also with others.
In any case, do not hesitate to let us know your delivery times, and if you have already received your new Watch Series 7, give us your impressions!
