While waiting for the release of the Apple Watch Series 8, we can completely focus on the Apple Watch Series 7, which is still among the best connected watches on the market today. At the moment, this reference is back at its lowest price on Amazon since it is displayed at a price of 359 euros instead of 429 euros.
If the release of the Apple Watch Series 8 is expected for mid-September, the latest version available, the Series 7, still surpasses many connected watches on the market today. It’s simple: for us, it occupies the first place of the podium. And even if the Californian company has already been offering a cutting-edge watch for years, some improvements have been made to this Series 7. And right now, the latter is at the same price as during Prime Day.
Highlights of the Apple Watch Series 7
- A larger (41 mm) and brighter screen
- Many sports and health functions
- Faster charging
Displayed at a price of 429 euros on the brand’s website, the Apple Watch Series 7 (41 mm, GPS, clover green strap) is currently offered at a reduced price of 359 euros on Amazon.

Regarding its design, Apple has not opted for a radical change for its Series 7 connected watch. The brand has nevertheless bet on a new screen: the case now measures 41 mm instead of 40 mm. The screen is even 50% thicker, and much more shock resistant thanks to its slightly different design. Above all, the screen area is now 20% larger than on the Series 6, in particular thanks to the refinement of the borders.
Another improvement: the Always-On (which allows the screen to remain always on to make it look like the screen of a standard watch) also gains in brightness (without affecting autonomy!), which will make the information read even more visible, even when the watch is not activated by turning your wrist. Of course, this feature can be disabled at any time. In addition, the Apple brand has added a keyboard to its watch to facilitate writing messages and emails. The watch’s on-board processor, the S7 chip, is even able to handle the bigger screen and brighter Always-On better. Result: navigation is more fluid, and the launch of applications is still just as fast.
A controlled sports follow-up
A good connected watch must be the perfect sports partner. The Series 7 performs this task very well, since it is still as effective in monitoring sports activities. It thus embeds a multitude of sensors: a gyroscope, a GPS, an accelerometer, a compass, an altimeter, and even a more energy-efficient barometric altimeter. What to support you during your sports sessions, whether you have opted for cycling, walking, yoga or even swimming (the watch is also always waterproof up to 50 m). The number of calories burned, the number of steps taken or the number of floors climbed will also be recorded and can be viewed on the watch or on your iPhone.
Key features for health
The connected watch also remains a very good ally for keeping an eye on your health. Monitoring heart rate, carrying out an ECG (electrocardiogram and reporting of atrial fibrillation, cardiac arrhythmia), monitoring the level of oxygen in the blood, monitoring sleep… The Apple Watch Series 7 will be a real help to the daily. The watch also provides fall detection, which alerts your loved ones or the emergency services if you remain immobile on the ground for too long. And now it can also detect falls from a bicycle. Another good point: the watch offers some interesting functions related to well-being, such as Concentration mode or the “Mindfulness” meditation app.
Regarding its autonomy, we were able to last 24 hours without recharging it during our test. A duration that may decrease in case of intensive use, of course. But the main novelty in this aspect is the compatibility with the fast charge that the supplied induction charging base now offers.
