The brighter screen and faster charging time also are welcome additions.
The Series 7 represents a new frontier on what the Apple Watch is capable of.
But the latest iteration puts something closer to a tiny iPhone on your wrist.

But check out those colors!
I have been using the new blue-colored model, and the pictures dont do it justice.
The blue color changes its hue, depending on the light, to a mesmerizing effect.

The larger 45mm model that I tried jumps from a 1.78-inch screen to 1.9 inches.
That represents a 20% increase over the Series 6 and a 50% increase over the Series 3.
The bezels have been trimmed to 1.7mm versus the last generations 3mm.
The size difference isnt readily apparent even when holding the two watches in your hand.
Still, its much easier for my aging eyes to see information on the larger screen.
I was even able to read short news stories without a ridiculous amount of scrolling.
The brighter display of the Series 7 is immediately obvious.
Apple says this new wrist computer is about 70% brighter than the Series 6.
But the slightly larger screen opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Of course, it can also just be tapped as before.
I was able to respond to text messages easily by swiping the QuickPath keyboard.
The new keyboard also reinforces the possibility that the Series 7 could be used as a standalone unit.
Is the Series 7 a must upgrade if you have a Series 6?
But its larger display and beautiful new colors make this the best Apple Watch yet.
If you have a Series 3, though, the Apple Watch Series 7 is the one you want.
