Also available, a new Scribble screen so you can draw letters for your text. Despite the girth of my fingers, I could tap letters or use QuickPath to slide along the keyboard – it was very accurate, but I wouldn't want to do a lot of communicating that way.

The sensors – just as those in the Apple Watch Series 6 – will track your heart rate and blood oxygen levels, as well as take an electrocardiogram, which measures heart activity and can indicate whether you might have a low, high or irregular heart rhythm. Other colors including black, gold, graphite, silver and titanium can be had in the pricier stainless steel ($699-up) and titanium models ($799-up). You can choose from five new colors – midnight, starlight, green, blue and red – if you are opting for the aluminum casing. Should you want to wear the watch while you sleep, you can charge it for eight minutes before you lie down to get you through the night. Series 7 touts its all-day battery, which holds a charge for 18 hours. The new model comes with a fast charge USB-C cable, which charges the Series 7 watch 33% faster than the previous model. The watch is also rated for water resistance to 50 meters. The latest watch is tougher, too, Apple says, with a front crystal that's 50% thicker at its peak for better resistance to cracks, and is the first to be certified at the highest level of dust resistance. In addition to those two Series 7 exclusive watch faces, there's a new World Time face, for all watches capable of running watchOS showing all the 24 time zones and other information you can customize. Some new watch faces make use of this additional real estate: the Modular Duo face, a one-stop data hub which can include time and other readouts such as temperature, weather forecast, market trends, your activity, and heart rate and the Contour face, with numbers pushed to the edge of the display – the appropriate hour grows as it approaches. In the gym and on walks, I could more easily read the various data displayed: calories, heart rate, distance.

With a larger display, I found the password function's slightly larger keys easier to tap accurately. The display's border is also 40% thinner than on the Series 6, allowing your watch face or app to encompass that space. Apple boasts that the display is also 70% brighter indoors than its previous model, making it easier to read.
