\nApple\u00ae today announced Apple Watch\u00ae Series 7, featuring a reengineered Always-On Retina\u00ae display with significantly more screen area and thinner borders, making it the largest and most advanced display ever.

Apple Watch Series 7 also features a user interface optimized for the larger display, offering greater readability and ease of use, plus two unique watch faces \u2014 Contour and Modular Duo \u2014 designed specifically for the new device.

\nApple 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.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nThe newest Apple Watch continues to offer indispensable tools for health and wellness, including an electrical heart sensor and ECG app,3<\/sup> and a Blood Oxygen sensor and app.4<\/sup> watchOS\u00ae 8 helps users stay healthy, active, and connected through new workout types, the new Mindfulness app, innovative accessibility features, greater access with Apple Wallet\u00ae, and more capabilities with the Home app, along with enhancements to Messages and the Photos app.\n<\/p>\n

\nApple Watch Series 7 introduces five beautiful new aluminum case finishes, along with a range of new band colors and styles. The entire Apple Watch Series 7 lineup will be available later this fall.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cApple Watch Series 7 delivers significant improvements \u2014 from our largest and most advanced display, to enhanced durability and faster charging \u2014 making the world\u2019s best smartwatch better than ever before,\u201d said Jeff Williams, Apple\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cPowered by watchOS 8, Apple Watch brings useful new capabilities to help customers stay connected, track activity and workouts, and better understand their overall health and wellness.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

New Design and Optimized User Interface<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe stunning display of Apple Watch Series 7 offers nearly 20 percent more screen area and thinner borders at just 1.7 mm \u2014 40 percent smaller than those on Apple Watch Series 6. Through an innovative design that maximizes the screen area while minimally changing the dimensions of the overall case size, Apple Watch Series 7 is available in 41mm and 45mm sizes. While the wrist is down, the Always-On Retina display is up to 70 percent brighter indoors than that of Apple Watch Series 6, making it easier to see the watch face without having to lift the wrist or wake the display.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe user interface is optimized to take advantage of the shape and size of the new display. Apple Watch Series 7 offers two additional larger font sizes, and a new QWERTY keyboard that can be tapped or swiped with QuickPath\u2122 \u2014 allowing users to slide a finger to type \u2014 and utilizes on-device machine learning to anticipate the next word based on the context, making text entry easier and faster. With watchOS 8, larger menu titles and buttons in apps like Stopwatch, Activity, and Alarms also make the screen even simpler to interact with.\n<\/p>\n

Most Durable Apple Watch Ever<\/b><\/p>\n

\nApple Watch Series 7 features a redesigned front crystal with a stronger and more robust geometry that is over 50 percent thicker than that of Apple Watch Series 6, making it more crack-resistant without compromising optical clarity. Apple Watch Series 7 is also certified IP6X dust-resistant, making it more durable in environments like the beach or the desert, while still maintaining excellent swimming performance with a water resistance rating of WR50.\n<\/p>\n

Faster Charging<\/b><\/p>\n

\nApple Watch Series 7 provides all-day 18-hour battery life on a single charge, and 33 percent faster charging compared with Apple Watch Series 6, through a new charging architecture and Magnetic Fast Charger USB-C Cable.5<\/sup><\/p>\n

watchOS 8 <\/b><\/p>\n

watchOS 8<\/a> debuts additional watch faces designed specially for the larger display on Apple Watch Series 7. The new Contour face takes the dial right to the edge of the display and fluidly animates throughout the day, emphasizing the current hour. The new Modular Duo face leverages the extra screen area with two large, data-rich center complications. Separately, the classic World Time face, based on heritage watches and ideal for travelers, tracks the time in 24 time zones around a double dial, and is available on Apple Watch Series 4 and later. The Portraits face uses the depth capabilities of iPhone\u00ae Portrait mode to compose a beautiful, personalized experience.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe new Mindfulness app, sleep respiratory rate tracking, and Tai Chi and Pilates workout types can help improve overall wellness. New Wallet and Home app functionality provide more convenient access to the car and places users live, work, and visit. Enhancements to Messages and the Photos app make staying connected to loved ones even easier.\n<\/p>\n

Cycling, Workout, and Fall Detection Updates <\/b><\/p>\n

\nwatchOS 8 also brings new features to anyone who rides a bike. Apple Watch uses advanced algorithms to analyze GPS, heart rate, accelerometer, and gyroscope data to detect when users begin a ride, and prompts them to start an Outdoor Cycle workout if one was not initiated.6<\/sup> As with all automatic Workout reminders, cyclists will see their metrics from when they first started their workout. Additionally, cycling workouts have auto-pause and resume, so metrics more accurately reflect time spent moving versus stationary, like waiting at a stoplight.\n<\/p>\n

\nApple Watch can more accurately measure active calories when riding an e-bike, with an updated cycling workout algorithm that evaluates GPS and heart rate to better determine when users are riding with pedal-assist versus leg power alone. New voice feedback through the built-in speaker of Apple Watch, or through AirPods\u00ae or other Bluetooth headphones, will also automatically announce workout milestones and Activity ring status, helping users stay focused during activities like running or HIIT.\n<\/p>\n

\nSince its launch in 2018, fall detection on Apple Watch has proven to be a valuable safety tool, recognizing if a user is immobile for approximately one minute if a hard fall is detected, and initiating a call to emergency services right from the wrist. With watchOS 8, fall detection algorithms are updated and optimized for detecting falls during workouts \u2014 including cycling \u2014 and have been tuned to recognize the unique motion and impact of falls from a bike and other workout types.7<\/sup><\/p>\n

Apple Watch Lineup<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Apple Watch Series 7 collection unveils five brand new aluminum case colors, including midnight, starlight, green, and a new blue and (PRODUCT)RED, along with an exciting palette of Apple Watch bands compatible with all models of Apple Watch. Additionally, Apple Watch Series 7 offers backward compatibility with previously released Apple Watch bands. Stainless steel models, Apple Watch Edition\u2122, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Series 3 continue in existing colors.\n<\/p>\n

\nApple Watch Nike and Apple Watch Herm\u00e8s also introduce exclusive new bands and watch faces this fall. The refreshed Nike Sport Loop comes in three colors, and features the Nike Swoosh and logo text incorporated into the weave of the band, pairing smartly with the new Nike Bounce watch face, which dynamically animates with the tap of the screen, scroll of the Digital Crown\u00ae, or move of the wrist.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to the vibrant color updates across the Classic, Attelage, and Jumping styles, Apple Watch Herm\u00e8s introduces two new styles. Circuit H is a bold graphic representation of a signature anchor chain design, printed in Swift leather with a complementary watch face, and the Gourmette Double Tour pays homage to 1930s Herm\u00e8s collars, with links weaving fluidly together in supple Fauve Bar\u00e9nia leather. This band wraps gracefully twice around the wrist and is an iconic representation of the recurring chain motif.\n<\/p>\n

Apple Fitness+<\/b><\/p>\n

\nOn Monday, September 27, Apple Fitness+\u2120, the first fitness service built entirely around Apple Watch, will introduce a new body-conditioning workout type with Pilates and a simple way to practice mindfulness anywhere, anytime, with guided Meditation. Fitness+ is also introducing a new program called Workouts to Get Ready for Snow Season, featuring two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time world champion skier Ted Ligety, along with Fitness+ trainer Anja Garcia. Later this fall, Fitness+ will introduce Group Workouts with SharePlay\u2122, where users can work out with up to 32 people at once to keep each other motivated.\n<\/p>\n

\nLater this year, Fitness+ will be expanding to 15 new countries \u2014 Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates \u2014 where it will be available in English with subtitles in six languages, so more people around the world can experience the workouts led by a diverse and inclusive team of trainers whose approach is welcoming to all.\n<\/p>\n

Apple Watch and the Environment<\/b><\/p>\n

\nIn line with Apple\u2019s commitment to the environment, Apple Watch Series 7 has more recycled content than any other Apple Watch, featuring 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, including in the Taptic Engine\u00ae; nearly 100 percent recycled tungsten throughout the product; and a 100 percent recycled case on aluminum models. Apple Watch Series 7 is also made without harmful chemicals like mercury, PVC, beryllium, and BFRs.\n<\/p>\n
