New Image Offers Clearer Look at Apple Watch Series 7 Screen Size Compared to Series 6

[MacRumors]

The Apple Watch Series 7 officially hits the shelves and starts arriving with customers worldwide tomorrow. While we have seen media reviews of the new watch, we've yet to see a clear real-world comparison to last year's Apple Watch Series 6 until now.

Apple says the new Apple Watch Series 7 features a 20% larger screen than the Series 6, primarily thanks to reduced bezels that allow the screen to slightly curve at the edges. Apple has a side-by-side comparison of the Series 7 to the Series 6 on its website, but for an apparent, real-world look, an image has now been shared on Twitter.

The image clearly shows the Apple Watch Series 7 featuring a noticeably larger display than the Series 6, despite the case size only increasingly slightly. To take advantage of the larger display, Apple has updated watchOS's user interface to include larger buttons, as well as a full on-screen QWERTY keyboard.

Alongside its larger display, the ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌ also features faster charging and improved durability. Learn everything you need to know about the Series 7 using our guide.

Very nice indeed...we all want bigger screen but not a bigger chassis on our wrist
I love you all, remember, Monday it is a big day in computer industry

 

[bluegt]

Looks amazing.

Unfortunately, only visible when using full-color, full screen watch faces and apps… (which suck up more battery btw).

 

[trifero]

Enough for me, in a 6. And the faster charge….

I just read an article that said the only 2 positives to the new watch 7 are:

Bigger screen which is not much.
Longer battery life.

other than that keep your watch 6.

 

[Seanm87]

Love the war on bezels keep it coming!

will be upgrading from my series 4

 

[Kylo83]

best upgrade ever all I wanted was bigger screen

 

[Nozuka]

Now give us smaller bezels on the Macbook. The current ones look pretty embarassing compared to the competition.

I am really looking forward to the larger screen size too. Happily upgrading from a Series 6.

I would guess that those two points are ranked very high by most and are enough for an upgrade. Most other features depend on those two to be useful.

Yeah I’m going from series 6, people moaning about a small upgrade is annoying me, a bigger display is a huge upgrade worth more than a sensor I never use

 

[djcerla]

Yes! Worthy upgrade only for this.
Gimme a Panerai-sized one!

 

[deckard666]

Most cars mid-cycle just get a cosmetic upgrade and no-one seems to moan too much about that......

 

[Nozuka]

That is a good point.
I really wanted the ECG feature, but never use it. ?

Meh: I’m waiting to see if older watches like my stainless steel S5 will charge any faster with the USB C puck - if it does, scratch that off the upgrade list. The dust rating isn’t new as I believe this is the first time they bothered to get it so all recent watches should have it - meh. With most watch faces coming with black backgrounds the larger screen will look the same: meh, although if the keyboard works that does mean something to me. Will the 1mm larger straps fit in my watch? Even if they don’t: meh.


Me thinks the real series 7 got botched in production and scrapped at the last minute. Probably coming out next year with new design and processor and larger battery and all the fixings. I’m waiting one more year.

Yeah last years oxygen one is useless I don’t think anyone uses it lol, to have a small display on your waist bigger is a major upgrade to me

How much faster do you need the watch, did you find the series 6 to slow?

 

[Tevosn]

Nice with a bigger screen but I still don’t see any significant reason for upgrading from a S4.

 

[0924487]

Sometimes I wonder what technology will look like 100 years from now. I hope we don't look like how we feel about the people 100 years ago...

 

[vegetassj4]

I Don’t look at the screen long enough for it to be worth the upgrade.

 

[Htsi]

Terrible case color aside, slim bezels looks great!
And if had $1100 to burn I wouldn’t mind upgrading from my SS6 to SS7

 

[Fat_Guy]

Actually the new SOC should be thinner, so also more room for battery. More processor could be used for a more meaningful sensor and diagnostic like blood glucose. If you like stainless steel you have to pick your upgrade cycles as it’s more expensive. Stainless on a curvy watch looks good but flat sides may look terrible. But it would scream I have the latest Apple Watch!

 

[BigSmurf]

It is a nice screen improvement over my 6. If you look back to the first generation Apple Watch, that one truly looks ancient now in comparison.
I hope to use mine until gen 9 or so.

 

[Sir Ruben]

While the bezels are thinner I think this perception is enhanced by the fact that the watch body also appears to curve around towards the front of the watch more than the S6.

 

[James Godfrey]

You gotta love the illusion that the screen has been increased by more than 1mm with how they have made the metal chassis wrap around the edge more.
