by

For my Apple Watch Series 7 test, I tarred, sprung and subjected the smartwatch to a real endurance test: Heat, solar radiation, sand and salt water can get to grips with the smartwatch while jogging and snorkeling on my Egypt vacation. At first glance, compared to the Apple Watch Series 6 hasn't changed too much: the bigger screen in particular is the focus this year. What does the brighter, significantly larger always-on display bring in sports and when traveling? And what useful new functions does the Apple Watch Series 7 still? I have the smartwatch in mine Apple Watch Series 7 test once looked very closely.

Apple WatchI always have to take it with me on the great journey - sometimes the most beautiful destinations of the world. I was with that Apple Watch Series 4 in Florida, with the Apple Watch Series 5 in Mauritius and Thailand, with the Apple Watch Series 6 locked down in quarantine at home for seven months and with the Apple Watch Series 7 is finally back on tour - after Egypt. A trip is always an endurance test for the smartwatch, because there is high sunshine, heat, dryness and, above all, aggressive salt water.

Not to mention the dangers on the plane when you can get scratches and quirks directly into the expensive wearable. But good, that Manufacturers Apple denotes the new one Apple Watch Series 7 as “The most robust Apple Watch all the time. ”I won't be told twice.

Apple Watch Series 7 review - my first impression

The first impression of the Apple Watch Series 7 is of course an optical one - and it is clear. The appearance of the new model is completely similar to its predecessor. I like the new color abyss blue very much - which, however, is also due to a personal preference for blue. You can immediately see the emerging, larger display of the now 45mm smartwatch. Otherwise, the housing in the aluminum version is actually almost identical Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 6. It has gotten slightly larger to accommodate the larger display of 45mm Apple Watch accommodate. Those who hoped for a fresh look will unfortunately be disappointed this year.

Not much has changed on the case - the large display scores most in mine Apple Watch Series 7 test. Photo: Sascha Tegtmeyer

According to rumors, wanted Apple bring out a new design in 2021, which is not yet ready for the market. What the look of the Apple Watch As far as Series 7 goes, you can't go wrong with the smartwatch. The appearance is still solid, the materials such as aluminum, stainless steel and titanium are of high quality and whether you like the shape or not is a matter of taste. On my first impression in the Apple Watch In the Series 7 test, the larger display definitely stood out - you can see a significant difference there, as can be seen in my before and after picture (below).

Apple Watch Series 7 test and experiences - Smartwatch in a detailed check

In my Apple Watch In the Series 7 test I'm taking the smartwatch hard again - especially for outdoor fans, travelers and athletes, this should show whether the watch is also suitable for outdoor use. I used it on my Egypt trip. The smartwatch had to withstand all kinds of environmental influences such as heat, strong sunlight, sand, salt water and sunscreen. After unpacking and trying it out for the first time, I put the smartwatch directly into a transparent protective cover as a precaution, but it quickly looked yellowed and worn.

Besides, she does Apple Watch Series 7 without a protective cover is just a lot more fun. I have always tormented the previous models quite a bit and after a short time they showed strong signs of use in the form of scratches on the display and on the stainless steel housing. One Apple Watch even broke due to intensive use. So how does the 7th version fare in mine Apple Watch Series 7 test?

In comparison to Apple Watch Series 6 you can already see that the display of the 7 series Apple Watch has become significantly larger - the housing has only become slightly larger. Photo: Sascha Tegtmeyer Apple Watch Series 7 test experiences

I have in Apple Watch Series 7 test tested the electronic watch in different situations and considering different functions. In addition, I have mine in the evaluation Apple Watch Experience with previous models included, because there has been a new one every year since 2015 Apple Watch which I always bought directly - even if only for test purposes. Among other things when traveling, jogging, swimming and snorkeling. Below I want mine Apple Watch Series 7 sharing experiences with you.

1. Optical appearance of the Apple Watch Series 7: do you get used to the bigger display?

Here's the thing: In my first comparison between the Apple Watch Series 7 and the Apple Watch Series 6 I held the smartwatches next to each other and compared the display sizes. I thought to myself: The difference isn't that big - and that Apple Watch Series 7 purchase cannot be justified in this way either. Far from it: after a few days of testing, I have the Apple Watch 6 and found the screen of the model significantly smaller. In other words: With the larger display at the Apple Watch Series 7 has Apple already created a unique selling proposition that is reason enough to buy.

If you really fancy a smartwatch with a larger display and only slightly larger case, you can go to the Apple Watch Series 7 strike with a clear conscience. Otherwise, the smartwatch looks just the same as the models from the Apple Watch Series 4. The biggest leap from model to model was from Series 3 to Series 4 - since then the smartwatch has only made little hopes.

2. Heart rate measurement and EKG function in Apple Watch 7 Test

With the heart rate measurement and EKG function of the Apple Watch Series 7 has not changed compared to its predecessor. The optical sensor on the underside of the smartwatch. It works perfectly for me. The heart rate is measured regularly and is precise, as a comparison with other heart rate monitors shows. I had the balance for mine Apple Watch Series 7 test made with a conventional heart rate monitor. The EKG works right away and shouldn't deliver any worse values ​​than the previous models.

The 1-channel ECG of the Apple Watch has already been praised by medical professionals in the previous models and described as very precise. That should also be the case in the current models. The sensor of the Apple Watch Series 7 contains the optical heart rate sensor and the sensor for measuring blood oxygen saturation - the manufacturer describes this measuring instrument as "revolutionary". According to various tests, it delivers very precise measurement results and is therefore the first choice for everyone who checks their vital signs with the Apple Watch want to control.

3. Apple S7 SiP with a 64-bit dual-core processor is super fast

What I really like is the interaction of the new one Apple Watch Processor Apple S7 SiP with 64-bit dual-core processor with the watchOS 8 operating system. The new processor seems to be super fast, because in combination with watchOS 8 apps and menus open almost without delay. I've had completely different ones in the past Apple Watch Experience - with the first models in 2015 and 2016, it felt like it took forever to open an app.

This has been a very pleasant user experience over the past few years, which also applies to the Apple Watch Series 7 test comes to fruition. According to benchmark tests I've read, the Apple S7 SiP with 64 ‑ bit dual core processor identical to its predecessor Apple S6 SiP with a 64-bit dual-core processor. And also with Apple The wireless chip W3 and ultra-broadband chip U1 are noticeable as a user: there is no noticeable difference - they are used to interact with the iPhone.  

Optimal interaction of Apple Watch Series 7, iPhone and AirPods

The interaction of Apple Watch Series 7 and the iPhone as well as the AirPods Pro (test) and AirPods Max (test) still works fine. With the new watchOS 8 operating system in combination with iOS 15, it is sufficient for a family member to have an iPhone. One Apple Watch can then with this iPhone can be configured even if you do not have an iPhone yourself. This function makes the watch a little more independent of the Smartphone

What I personally find very pleasant: You can choose music and playlists for example Apple Music on the Apple Watch Charge the Series 7, connect your AirPods to the smartwatch in a few seconds and is completely independent of the iPhone when jogging and many other sports.

Apple Watch Series 7 in running, sports and fitness 

I have read the Apple Watch Series 7 has now been extensively tested in running, sports and fitness and taken to the beach in Egypt. It has been shown that the smartwatch - like its predecessor - is an ideal companion in everyday life and during activities. You will be reminded to move and get up, to do mindfulness exercises. This is where the always-on display is particularly noticeable. Especially when you are outdoors, you have a much better view of the data.

However, there is still a catch at the moment: the always-on display only works really well if you use the integrated training app. If you use a third-party app such as Runtastic, the smartwatch only shows the time in always-on mode. In other words, the always-on display only works properly with the homescreen and native Apple Apps. You also have to turn your wrist to see the data. So far I have not been able to check whether there are any third-party apps that offer readable data in always-on mode.

The OLED display can also be easily read outdoors when it is bright. The smartwatch makes it possible in many situations - for example when navigating - to leave the smartphone in your pocket. While swimming, snorkeling and Stand Up Paddling in salt water does the smartwatch in mine Apple Watch Series 7 test a super good figure.

The smartwatch is an ideal companion for all activities and reliably records your activities, giving you a very comprehensive overview of your activity level and fitness level. My conclusion from mine Apple Watch Series 7 test while traveling: Like the previous models, the Smartwatch is perfect for a variety of purposes on vacation. The Apple Watch 7 ideal.

Who is it for Apple Watch Series 7 suitable?

If you already Apple Owning products like an iPhone is the one Apple Watch Series 7 is the ideal smartwatch for you. It is state of the art. The predecessor models were regularly named test winners by Stiftung Warentest. In my opinion, this should not be any different for the latest generation than mine Apple Watch Series 7 test showed. As far as the product itself is concerned, the smartwatch is a clear purchase: the quality, the functionality and the integration in the Apple Cosmos are top. The price is certain for many users: it takes getting used to inside, but it is easy to get over because of the high level of use.

When you the Apple Watch Series 7 should buy: You should Apple Watch Buy Series 7 if you don't already have one Apple Watch have used, but already others Apple Uses products like an iPhone. And of course you can Apple Watch Buy Series 7 with no hesitation if you're a die-hard Apple Are a fan who upgrades their products every year. Even if you enjoy a larger display on your wrist, you can switch to the new model. If you have a Apple Watch Series 3 or Series 4, the time has come to upgrade to the 7 Series Apple Watch.

When you the Apple Watch Series 7 shouldn't buy: If you don't put such a high value on the display size and one Apple Watch Series 6, you can wait to upgrade. If you have a Apple Watch Series 5 and can do without the larger display as well as the blood oxygen sensor, you have to use the Apple Watch Series 7 also does not buy. In my opinion, these are the cases in which you should buy the current 7 Series Smartwatch from Apple can do without.

In addition: For the upcoming model should be with the supposed Apple Watch Series 8 a really significantly larger design upgrade possibly followed by an angular housing. If you have the leisure to wait until autumn 2022, you can of course also wait for the upcoming model. Whether and which model the Apple Watch next, is of course still pure speculation until it is published.

My conclusion

Since the first generation of the Apple Watch I am an avid fan of this smartwatch. I started writing about the smartwatch back then because the Apple Watch 2015 was still new and was a niche. I wanted to share my enthusiasm for this new type of device. With the Apple Watch Series 4 appeared two years ago, the first major redesign and a great new model on the market. The bottom line is that it is the Apple Watch Series 7 is a good watch that has just got better than its predecessor - an evolution, not a revolution. It does not differ in appearance from the three previous versions. Only the display has grown by 20 percent.

After my Apple Watch Series 7 test I can fully recommend the smartwatch. Who already has a Apple Watch Series 5 or Apple Watch Series 6 owns, can certainly consider giving up the purchase this year and up to the major, potential redesign of a potential Apple Watch Series 8 waiting for the coming year. I can only recommend buying the very expensive but incredibly well-fitting braided Solo Loop, as it is also compatible with the earlier ones Apple Watch Models go together. However, if you have the budget and would like to be up to date with the latest technology, you can also strike this year and join the Apple Watch Series 7 delight.
