And thats just great.
Look quickly, and the Apple Watch Series 7 looks just like all the other Apple Watches so far.
I cant tell you how happy I am about that.
Apple
I own a basic Apple Watch Series 5, and I really dont dig its blobular, protruding form.
But with this pedestrian remodeling, I can save myself several hundred dollars, and not miss out.

The Apple Watch seems to have reached this maturity without significantly changing shape.
And thats just fine.
Good Enough
Some devices are valuable even when theyre just “good enough.”
Apple
The Apple Watch is one of those.
But its already good enough.
Thats not to say it couldnt use some improvements.
Its just that theyd have to be pretty big improvements to justify the upgrade.
That may be what made the rumors of a flat-sided Apple Watch so compelling.
Theres no mistaking the current Apple Watch for a regular watch.
Its just too thick and bulky.
But a new, slimmer shape would be a real step up in terms of aesthetics.
I used to write how-tos for Apple gear, and that required using the latest models.
Most people dont do this.
Because this stuff is expensive, and works for years.
It still does everything perfectly.
The battery lasts all day, and it still does everything I bought it to do.
Perhaps this is a lesson.
We say “upgrade” instead of “throw away and buy a new one,” for example.
Perhaps its good to slow down for a while, and to just enjoy the amazing technology we have.
Its a win-win all round, except for the companies selling them.
