Much faster charging ; BIgger screen is great ; Wide range of easy-to-use fitness features

Battery life remains a day ; No neutral black or silver aluminium colour options

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...
