The narrower borders allow the display to maximize screen area, while minimally changing the dimensions of the watch itself. The design of Apple Watch Series 7 is refined with softer, more rounded corners, and the display has a unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case. Apple Watch Series 7 also features a user interface optimized for the larger display, offering greater readability and ease of use, plus two unique watch faces &mdash; Contour and Modular Duo &mdash; designed specifically for the new device. With the improvements to the display, users benefit from the same all-day 18-hour battery life, now complemented by 33 percent faster charging.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch Series 7 will start at $399 (US), Apple Watch SE starts at $279 (US), and Apple Watch Series 3 starts at $199 (US).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Yep, they&rsquo;re still selling the Series 3 from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcoarment\/status\/1437833128467484678\">2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/15\/apple-watch-series-6-se-and-fitness\/\">Apple Watch Series 6, SE, and Fitness+<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"apple-watch-series-7-update-2021-09-16\">Update (2021-09-16): <a href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/2021\/09\/california_streaming_thoughts_and_observations\">John Gruber<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/2021\/09\/california_streaming_thoughts_and_observations\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SnazzyQ\/status\/1437902520731402242\">Quinn &ldquo;Snazzy Labs&rdquo; Nelson flagged Apple for an unfair comparison<\/a>, regarding just how much more text the larger Series 7 displays can show at a time. The font was the same size, but the line spacing was quite a bit tighter in the Series 7 screenshot. I would also argue that Apple chose text that line-wrapped <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eprg.org\/G53DOC\/pdfs\/knuth-plass-breaking.pdf\">inefficiently<\/a> on the Series 6 display, but the difference in line heights is clearly unfair. Apple doesn&rsquo;t usually play games like that in comparisons.
