Apple's smartwatch becomes a sturdier and more powerful smartwatch with each passing generation. Looking at the models of past years, we saw Apple increase the screen size with the Apple Watch Series 4, which came out in 2018. After three years, and after the Series 5, Series 6 and SE models released in that time, Apple once again made a radical change to the Apple Watch design and increased the screen size again. Sticking to a formula in which the surface area doesn't grow much despite the growing screens on smartphones, the company thinned out the screen bezel. Coming in two case sizes, 41mm and 45mm, both larger than its predecessors, we have been trying out the larger-cased version of the Apple Watch Series 7 for a while. What are the features of the Apple Watch Series 7? Let's take a look together!

What Are the Apple Watch Series 7 Features?

Rich Notifications on a Great Display

The Series 7's primary hardware upgrade over the Series 6 is the display. You will quickly get used to the 20% extra screen area, the smaller bezels and the incredible brightness. It is visible from almost any angle indoors, and you won't have trouble seeing the screen even in bright sunlight. For starters, with notifications you can do things such as reply, delete, archive, like or dismiss that you can't do with another smartwatch/iPhone pairing. While that is helpful, it comes second to the sheer reliability and ease of use of the Apple Watch.

Headphones and Audio Controls

This may seem like a very simple thing, but it is very useful if you wear headphones a lot and use your iPhone for music and podcasts. Having all the controls you need on your wrist means your phone can stay out of reach. You can control everything on the Apple Watch, from choosing tracks and adjusting the volume to interacting with Apple Music. When you wear headphones, you often keep your phone somewhere out of reach while doing everything from cleaning the house to washing the car, and the Apple Watch still lets you check what is playing and how loud it is. It is a simple feature, but incredibly useful.

Braided Band Detail

Choosing the right band for your Apple Watch is very important to really enjoy it, but knowing which one is right for you is the hard part. The braided band option will come in very handy here. If you want your Apple Watch to fit comfortably on either wrist and need it to make good contact while you track a workout, but want it to be comfortable and unrestrictive at other times, the braided band is exactly that.

Reliable Battery

The Apple Watch Series 7 is truly outstanding in this regard. If you wear your watch to track your sleep at night, then use it until the evening the next day and even work out with it, you will see your charge drop to only 50%. That means it has a battery life that can last 2 days.
