Apple Watch Series 7: One Year Later

Welcome to my one year review of the Apple Watch Series 7. I think it's worthwhile to review the watch after a year of use to get a long term perspective for people who plan to use their new watch for longer and because Series 8 is mostly the same watch and so these experiences should apply to it as well.
I hope you enjoy the video 🥳

Thank you for your warmth and genuine take on the Apple Watch really appreciate it!

[@fruitpunk]

I’d be interested in a developing Apple Watch apps course!

[@barrypuckett5969]

Great video!! I appreciate the in-depth information in all of your videos. Thank you and great job!!

[@FlorianBodlee]

Hey Barry, thanks a lot, greatly appreciated! Welcome to the channel :)

I would love you “interview” Garmin (Epix2). I am 101% Apple (work+private life)and for the first time hesitating to move to Android. Currently owning AWseries 3, and 2 full days on battery with all notifications…which should not happen?! Battery is 87% health. Hesitating for AWU but the look is not my style, cannot really accept :) You review is underrated on YT, this is the only one, honest, reliable and neutral. I wish you a good luck and thank you for content quality!

[@FlorianBodlee]

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, I don’t have an Epix2 on hand and am not planning to obtain one. Regarding your Series 3; if you don’t use it on cellular that battery life is absolutely achievable without the always on display and light use.

Great video! Still rocking with my AW 4 GPS version with 95% of battery health for almost 4 years. But I do have the ambition to one day have my Watch replace the iPhone (that’s how I discovered your channel). Hopefully next year’s AW will be a bigger upgrade than Series 8.

[@FlorianBodlee]

Welcome to the channel Bruno! Honestly, the Series 4 is still a great watch, especially if your battery is still going strong like yours 😎

[@TheManuelNegrete]

i would love the apple watch appl development course!

[@FlorianBodlee]

Hi Manuel :) Welcome to the channel 🥳 Thank you for your interest, please stay tuned :)

I want to try replacing my phone with a watch and thinking the 7 for a lower entry cost. Is the 41mm big enough? I’m afraid the larger version would look huge on my wrest.

[@FlorianBodlee]

Hey Scott :) I would recommend to just stop by an Apple Store and try them on. Personally, I find the 41mm a bit small 🤷🏻‍♂️ I also have no idea how the battery life behaves on the smaller watches.

[@scottpeterson9450]

@@FlorianBodlee That is helpful. Thank you!

[@chereihbeats]

Please be more consistent on youtube!

[@FlorianBodlee]

On it 😎

[@anthonyanthony2783]

Been on the Series 7 since it launched and I'm also at 91% battery health, that's not good you know so I disagree with that valuation. My Series 4 was at 86% after 3 years

[@FlorianBodlee]

Hey there Anthony :) Yeah I mean I‘m just speaking from my experience obviously. I know I charged it in the probably worst way possible and that‘s why I think 91% is acceptable. During „regular“ use, I would also expect it to probably last longer. How did you charge your Series 7?

[@anthonyanthony2783]

@@FlorianBodlee I have to admit I use the fast charger that I got with the Apple Watch because I find the regular 5w one to be really slow. Maybe I should stop doing that but it's way too slow :/.

[@FlorianBodlee]

The main topic is to not let the battery drop below 20ish and not charge it to 100% every time. Basically, dropping it far down and charging it all up is quite bad for these batteries 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@The_Lazy_Misfit]

@@anthonyanthony2783 i have been hearing that the “Fast Charge” is also partially to blame for quicker battery degradation.

[@BK-pc3ei]

Literally use the Apple Watch with the iPhone is much better
