Apple Watch Series 7 Nike review: sporty spice

The Nike version of the Apple Watch Series 7 has a couple of features that make it an ideal choice for runners

Nike bounce exclusive face ; Nike Run Club app pre-installed ; Great choice of straps

Identical to the regular Series 7 in all other ways ; Heavy Nike branding is not for everyone ; Less choice on case color and material

There are only a few subtle differences between the regular Apple Watch Series 7 and this Nike version but if you want to use your watch to track your runs (and like Nike branding), there's no reason not to pick this model.

Apple Watch Series 7 review: big is beautiful

The Apple Watch Series 7 is the best smartwatch available today, and its larger screen is a bigger deal than you might think

Bigger screen, smaller bezels ; Fast to charge ; Very slick to use ; Easy health & fitness features

Battery life is still 1 day ; Sleep tracking still weak ; Limited for hardcore fitness users

The Apple Watch Series 7 uses its bigger screen to great effect, giving a genuine upgrade over older models or the Apple Watch SE. It's a beautiful, fast and truly useful premium smartwatch, and is easily the best of its kind for iPhone owners.

Apple Watch 7 review

The Apple Watch 7 is the Series 6 with a slightly larger screen

Brighter, larger screen than Series 6 ; Faster charging

Workouts are varied, but basic ; Battery life needs to be longer

The Apple Watch 7 is basically the Watch 6 with a slightly larger screen and the ability to charge faster and unless you can find it for significantly less, nowadays your money is better spent on the Series 8. That said, it still packs a wide variety...

Apple Watch Series 7 review: All about that screen

Does the larger screen and smaller amount of bezel on the Apple Watch Series 7 make it a must-buy wearable, or is there little reason to upgrade?

Bigger screen is better ; Supports previous Apple Watch straps ; Dust- and water-proof design

Battery life still only a day per charge ; Are all those sensors truly necessary?

Apple's wearable continues to improve year on year. The Series 7 introduces a larger and brighter screen, further showing off why it's the best smartwatch on the market. However, the battery life is still only good for one day per charge.

Apple Watch Series 7 review

The Apple Watch Series 7 might not offer the big redesign some had hoped for, but it's still the perfect wearable for iOS users.

Fast charging speeds ; Noticeably larger display ; A feature-packed software experience

Same 18-hour battery life ; No new sensors

It might not be the redesign some had hoped for, but the larger display really makes a difference to the Apple Watch experience on offer - and improved charging speeds are a nice touch too. There isn't enough here for Series 6 owners to upgrade, but...

Apple Watch Series 7 review: Solid and capable, but not groundbreaking

It's another year of small incremental updates to the Apple Watch. Is the Apple Watch Series 7 still the best smartwatch for iPhone users? And is it a worthy upgrade?

Larger expansive display ; Iconic case design ; Excellent build quality ; Great health and fitness tracking ; ECG capability ; Faster charging ; Lots of strap options

No significant new features ; Needs to be recharged daily ; Charging requires specialised puck ; Only works with iPhone
