Apple Watch Series 7 Nine Months Later! The ONLY Useful Smart Watch?!

[@Tacoking8891]

I have the SE 44 mm cellular but what really impressed me is that the heart rate monitor is still relatively accurate during strength work outs. It used to be that wrist based monitors were decent for cardio but terrible for weight lifting but now it works well enough for both.

I had a $5 watch 5 years ago and got the S7 month after it came out and have enjoyed it so much. Very helpful with so much stuff, battery could be better. But, I can’t complain considering I never had a smart watch before. Because of my big hands the larger screen felt so easy to use and has been a great experience.

[@opinionatedoliver3680]

The screen really looks so much better with the thinner bezels and the way it refracts on the curved edge. When I moved from 5 to 7 that really made a difference. Most of the watch faces, the analogue ones, look way more like an actual watch now if that makes any sense.

A couple weeks ago Best Buy had a big price reduction on the 7. Ended up with the exact blue version you have for $244 with tax. The description said scratches but it was like new. Use to have an SE 45 but really love the larger screen and the health features.

The Belkin Boostcharge pro was a game changer for charging. I highly recommend it. Can charge my watch, phone, and AirPods all at once. And wouldn’t have the band issue you have now 👍🏼

[@ColonelLucario]

I have the Apple Watch Series 6 44mm since end February And yes I tried to complete my circles 😅 But all the health features in that Watch are incredible, not even comparable to the competition Yes some has body composition, or better sleep analysis (even if sleep stages is coming with watchOS 9 this fall) but they CAN’T give alerts when the HR is too low (below 40) or too high (above 120) or even call the emergency when you make a fall During this period I was sick two times (not Covid) and at those two times I receive alerts because I had a HR at 125-130bpm Even before my sick symptoms where there (fever) The ECG app is great but when my finger is wet it won’t work well (obviously but I wanted to inform that) Since I have my watch I feel better, like if something is going wrong I will know it (of course if I have chest pain or something i want my watch to tell it to lee) Anyway, I would like to have more reliable oxygen saturation results and low saturation alerts, blood pressure sensor and yeah sad that the AWS6 don’t have fast charging but it’s ok, same for the battery life

I see some comments that wonder which watch face this guy uses on other videos (the one at 2:55 of this video). It's the California watch face with some changes. In the edit options for this watch face, you can change if you want to see numbers or not on watch face, and what you want the color to be. You can also remove the bottom complication so it's a cleaner look like he chose. Very clean looking watch face. I love it. California and Contour are my favorite clean looking watch faces (so far).

I use a series 3 still everyday, does everything I need and the battery doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue.

A week ago, I got my first Apple Watch. A series 6. I was getting it ~ $150 cheaper than S7. Though Spec wise there is not a big difference between the two, I personally feel I should have gone for the S7. It looks much better side by side.

[@MistaRunIt]

As a designer myself I find my mechanical watch quicker to tell time. Something about the flat graphics on my Apple Watch 7 just doesn’t pop enough to read as quick as a mechanical wrist watch. I think apple needs to add dimension to the watch face graphics. One cool thing I noticed is the Apple Cash card graphics. The hologram graphics respond to the tilt of your phone. What use to be a graphical representation on your phone screen now seems like an actual card that your viewing. I think apple should apply this effect to the Apple Watch hands and ticks with chrome or metal or shadows. I only use my Apple Watch for working out and prefer my mechanical watch as my daily it just reads easier. Just my opinion. Thanks

[@zachbudnick1641]

Been using series 7 for almost 6 months now. Well worth the money. Yea battery life could be better since I used amazfit before Apple Watch could last 14 days at most. Granted I do take my watch off when sleeping so I can’t really complain since it’s charging every night

For sure is the best "Smart Watch" and should say it have been from day one. Samsung did decent but still far behind AW. Battery is the only problem, but same on 99% of all smartwatches. Like you say, you learn to make it work. If you into training/run/mtb and don´t need all smartwatch things or Lte, i would say go Garmin all day of the week. But if you like that extra smartwatch stuff and are fine with "Decent" tracking AW is the best.

[@perrinunderbough7779]

Another great show. I appreciate how you are mentioning sustainability. Can you talk about how long apple devices are supported with software and security updates? I have an old 2010 iMac that was only supported for 6 years. That is definitely not sustainable. I also have a windows laptop from 2011 that runs windows 10. Do better Apple. Ten years of support would make a real statement about how green Apple is.

[@ArunKumar-oz3tr]

Apple does it something like, Quality over Quantity. Sure, your 2011 laptop got windows 10. But how good does it run it? How secure is it? How fast is it? Do all the features work? Is the device able to handle it? That matters too. And coming to the 2010 iMac, pretty sure it runs good even now. It just lost some premium icing on the cake feature, But it fundamentally still a computer, Still getting security updates, and is way more secure than your windows.
