American mediaMacRumors, specialist in the Apple issue, has just published a new article which lists multiple testimonies against the new Apple Watch Series 7. Regulars of the range believe that the colors of this edition leave something to be desired. However, we know thatthe manufacturer has the habit of organizing large-scale surveys in order to avoid this type of negative feedback.
The Apple is missing several shades
Among the versions which raise questions, we can notably cite the casestarlight. Indeed, customers who preferred the silver and gold Watches sold previously find it a shame that Apple has abandoned them in favor of this “in-between”. There is still the stainless steel grind, but this seems too expensive for some:
If they made a gold aluminum Apple Watch this year I probably would be ordering one on Friday. Starlight is too silver and stainless steel is too expensive!

Another scenario: that of the watch in space black, which has also not been renewed for the aluminum cabin. This is available, but for the Series 7 with stainless steel. Equipped with an Indian yellow braided single buckle bracelet, this one still costs nearly 779 euros compared to €350 less for the original. A price that can of course only be afforded by a limited number of fairly well-off consumers.
Are there really no non-Hermés Space Black Apple Watch series 7 configurations? But that was my favorite one!
I mean, not that I’m getting a Watch this year anyway, but I actually don’t know what I would pick if I were. Apple is making some strange color decisions this year.

Bracelets would also be a problem
According to other comments, certain previously published bracelets also attract criticism. Indeed, picky buyers consider that the new colors are simply no longer in phase with their old accessory. An obviously very personal argument, since thousands of other Internet users have already ordered the Apple Watch Series 7 without reporting such comments.
Just give me a silver Apple Watch. Silver. Not dirty gold Starlight. Silver.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is available from 429 euros in France. It is sold in two different sizes: 41 and 45 mm, with a screen larger than that of the Series 6. The metal which surrounds it, for its part, also exists in titanium (this is the most expensive offered by the manufacturer).
Pre-orders opened yesterday, for delivery from next Friday October 15. But extended deadlines could quickly arise. Indeed, during its last quarterly interview with investors,Tim Cook assured that the delta variant of the coronavirus risked compromising orders from Asia.
