By : ilikephone / On : 14/11/2022

The Apple Watch Series 7 was announced at the September iPhone event, but it was not released with the iPhone 13 series, and it was shifted until October 15.

Are you waiting for authentication with health -related features?Although it was the writer who made it look like this, the new function that was not told at the time of the event will not be revealed, and will be released without a large additional topic.The Apple Watch Series 7 is seen as an attractive device in two points.

This time, I thought that it was quite green on the 45mm green aluminum case Apple's website, but when I touched the real thing, even if it was relatively strong, it was still strong."Deep green".The part that reflects the light looks dark green, but the shadow is almost black.It can be combined with a bright green band as a green, or it seems to match the dark leather with a transfer from space gray and space black.

And above all, the impression that the display has become bigger is strong.Let's start with this story.

Evolution of the display that becomes a "face"

One of the charms of Apple Watch Series 7 is the evolution of the display.But it's not just bigger.However, the first impression is "bigger" and "quite large".It is only 1mm in the diagonal size.

The Apple Watch initially appeared in two cases size, 38mm / 42mm.This is a 40mm / 44mm size configuration, which has been expanded to 41mm / 45mm this time.

In terms of the current lineup, Series 7 has a 50 % expansion of Series 7 compared to Apple Watch Series 3, which is still sold.The screen size was expanded by 20 % compared to the previous model Series 6 and the SE that was sold together.

However, it expands only 1mm compared to 44mm.Nevertheless, why do you feel so big?The secret lies in the border and border.

Apple has realized the screen expansion without making changes to the band width and its attachment.Therefore, a 42mm band for the first Apple Watch can be attached to the 45mm case.

The reason why the screen size was enlarged while preventing the extension of the device itself as much as possible is the black part that remains on the edge of the screen 1.It was reduced to 7mm.

In fact, until now, Apple Watch was worried about this border and shunned the colored dial.However, with this display, the border is extremely small, so you can choose such a dial with confidence.

In addition, the front glass, which has increased 50 % thicker, refracts the light of the displayed display to the edge and conveys it to the side.In particular, when viewed from the diagonal angle, the colored dial spread to the outside of the edge so that it bleed, and the design created a completely different expression.

The implementation of this display alone will give the Apple Watch users differed and give the first user a novel impression.

Long lasting battery and charging management

Another attraction is the battery.The battery performance of the Apple Watch is "one day", this day does not mean 24 hours, but one day of human activity time.

This is the same, but it is actually that this interpretation has changed depending on the operation method.

Apple has adopted LTPO (low -temperature policlicon crystal) organic EL display, and has realized a lighting function while maintaining the battery duration by introducing a variable refresh rate.

This time, in addition to the screen enlargement, the brightness of the room and at the time of the lighting is improved to improve visibility.In other words, the battery efficiency of the display has increased.

Especially if you start wearing long sleeves in the winter season and you can not easily see the clock on the side, you may always turn off the lights.

Then you will be able to secure more battery duration than before.In fact, the battery lasts a long time if the turn is turned off.I left the house at 6:00 in the morning, exa size measurement with an outdoor walking for about 25 minutes, spent one day and returned home at 20:00 pm, and the rest of the battery was more than 65 %.I hit it.

Apple itself is a battery that has one day, but if you turn off at all times, you can use it for a day and a half with confidence.In addition, the attached Magsafe charger has been changed to the USB-C terminal.As a result, the charging speed is faster, and the charge from 0 to 80 % is 45 minutes.

For example, as mentioned earlier, you can return home and keep your sleep measurement for sleeping as it is, and even if you wake up in the morning, a battery of around 30 % remains.From here, it will be enough to secure the battery for the day by applying an hour to prepare for the Apple Watch.

By the way, 8 hours of sleep measurement in 8 minutes (the screen is dark and simple, a simple clock display, and a "concentration" mode that cannot be unlocked unless the digital crown is turned) can be secured, so a little before going to bed.It seems good to use it to charge.

The times are looking for Watch

Apple Watch appeared in 2015 with a new form factor for the first time in five years.With a new entry into the category of "wearable" and "sport & health tracking" as Apple, it became (physically the most familiar Apple product).

In the five years since 2015, the user base has exceeded 100 million, but Apple's Tim Cook CEO is still in the early spread.

In particular, the growth has been remarkable since 2021, and 75 % are new buyers.The Apple Watch itself does not seem to change its value significantly from the beginning, but activity and exercise are valuable opportunities due to corona, and the payment of wrists only by Apple Pay wants to live without touching public goods.It matched the needs of Corona.

In addition, the point of increased buyers is that blood oxygen saturation, which is the indicator of the severity of the corona, can be measured.As for Apple Watch, focusing on cardiopulmonary function, which is the cause of death in the United States, has added functions, which led to colona.

Apple Watch himself hasn't changed the character a lot, but when we think that the needs of society have increased from the times and have caught up, I think we are looking at the spread of very interesting products.
