APPLE WATCH SERIES 7 – From $599

Apple Watch Series 7 has a larger display and faster charging and might not seem like a big change from Apple Watch Series 6, but when you place them side by side the differences become more apparent.

Firstly, the display offers 20 per cent more screen area than Series 6 and more than 50 per cent more screen area than Series 3.

The borders on the display are just 1.7mm wide which is 40 per cent thinner than Series 6 which allows the screen to grow noticeably while the device itself has barely grown by a millimetre.
