The new model, Apple watch series 7, builds on what Apple has done before with this wearable: a highly personal device that is easy to use, offers mapping directions on your wrist so you don’t need to hold your phone aloft when walking in a city street at night, measuring your heart rate or if you fall down, sending you notifications and calculating how many calories that yoga class burnt. Apple Watch series 7: £369, Apple.com open image in gallery Rating: 9/10 Case size: 41mm and 45mm 41mm and 45mm Price: 41mm from £369, 45mm from £399 41mm from £369, 45mm from £399 Processor: Apple S7 Apple S7 Storage: 32GB 32GB Battery: Up to 18 hours Up to 18 hours Dimensions : 41mm: 40.9 x 34.8 x 10.7m; 45mm: 45.08 x 38.21 x 10.7mm : 41mm: 40.9 x 34.8 x 10.7m; 45mm: 45.08 x 38.21 x 10.7mm Weight: 41mm: aluminium 32g, stainless steel 42.3g, titanium 37g; 45mm: aluminium 38.8g, stainless steel 51.5g, titanium 45.1g Design The flat edges that some had predicted, making the watch look more like the style of the latest iPhone, are nowhere to be seen. In one important way, it doesn’t: all previous Apple watch bands and straps will fit the latest model, that is, the smaller series 7 is compatible with 38mm, 40mm and 41mm bands, and the larger one works with all 42mm, 44mm and 45mm straps. The verdict: Apple watch series 7 Apple watch series 7 is a subtle but powerful step up from last year’s already-excellent series 6.
