[ Music] hey what’s up mkbhd now and this here is an apple watch series 7. so if watches did s updates like that this would be a series 6s for sure but they don’t either way what you need to know is it’s a minor update matter of fact at the risk of tanking this video’s watch day watch duration uh this watch is basically a series six but with a slightly larger display and slightly faster billing same rate that’s basically it but there are a bunch of other little quirks and things you should know about it if you’re considering actually getting one but yeah like i said the flagship new thing about the apple watch successions 7 is that it’s bigger alright chiefly with the screen very so you get this 20 larger are presented in a watch that’s just barely bigger than the previous torso and right away you do notice that everywhere the whole ui is a little bigger you know in the calculator the buttons are a little bit bigger in your notifications there’s just a little bit more textbook the planned if you’re navigating is that much more usable and when you’re type your passcode of course the toes are just that much bigger so for me i like that the snooze button is also slightly larger in the alarm clock but only being somewhat bigger with smaller bezels wouldn’t be quite enough for a whole new watch so apple did the apple thing and built a few special features into the series seven that are particularly toiled best for the larger display so they became two exclusive watch faces for the streak seven simply to take advantage of this screen this one here is called contour where the numbers literally wrap all the way around the particularly fringes and then there’s this modular duo watch face which basically has two really large data rich centre complications so i can keep track of exactly how well i’m crushing my fitness races all the time then they made a full qwerty keyboard for the watch now that clangs horrible at first and it actually ogles a little hilarious on your wrist when you go to reply to a text but it is a swipe keyboard which is easier to crank out paroles on you’re swiping between words of the words and auto predict is usually quite respectable i am only personally didn’t pinpoint myself actually exerting this very much like it is enough to get a couple paroles down but if you get enough oaths wrong the ui is barely big enough to go back through and adopt the words you want to replace and then you tap in and then re-swipe them and you’re posses your wrist up this whole time and i don’t know it’s fine it’s fine for quick meanings but i’m still gonna go with voice text nine experiences out of ten either way i think we all knew that having a slightly bigger screen would be a quite basic improvement for a smartwatch but what i was a little more bizarre about especially after seeing all of those apple promo videos was actually the shape of this new display so if you’ve seen the videos then you’re familiar they’ve pushed the screen right up all the way to the unusually perimeter here and so it gets so close to the edges that apple was picturing readable text literally bleeding over the edges and areas of the watch like understandable from the side which inspects frightening in yielded videos with no reflections but i was very curious about all the reflections and stray glowing and refractions that happen in real life turns out it didn’t really make much of a difference at all i signify yes the apple watch “ve always been” this influence with the curved hems and this year the exhibition does push more up into those areas than ever before but it doesn’t make much of a difference with readability where most of the stuff is in the center of the screen literally the one plaza i concluded it to impel the biggest difference is in the exclusive contour watch face that gives the numbers all the way around the most contemplative lines of the spectacle so then yeah you’re gonna have to learn to deal with some more riling thoughtfulness on a regular basis just to see what time it is i like the bigger screen though bottom line now something to consider if you have like smaller wrists or if you’re a little more sensitive to the size of this big watch like it’s starting to look like a computer on your wrist if you’re getting the biggest watch and so you might consider getting this smaller apple watch instead because that screen immensity is up to 41 millimeters now which is still very usable that’s actually fun fact one millimeter smaller than the original large sized apple watch now when i said there’s a pair other small change well meant it there’s just a couple small things but the thing about small changes is if enough of them applies to you then they can add up to make a bigger change which is nice but if they don’t apply to you you might not care you’ll probably know pretty quickly which can’t be fallen so this is now the most durable apple watch ever so i noticed the speaker on the left is now a single slot where previous editions were two slits but that’s apparently not contributing to durability it’s actually the thicker encompas glass and you can never tell just by looking at it from the outside because it doesn’t protrude anymore it actually departs deeper into the watch and that larger z-axis dimension prepares it more fissure resistant than ever before so if you tend to put your watch through a lot maybe you play a lot of sports with it on you’re lifting with it you punched material with it maybe you’re tough on it outdoors maybe you’re my sister and the entire submerge glass precisely ends off of your watch for no reason then yeah this may be important to you and then the watch is now ip6x dust resistant not because of some brand-new hardware or coding but actually apple’s never measured the watch for dust resistance before so it’s just various kinds of a bonus to now have that additional peace of mind they’ve always researched for liquid fighting though like parties ask me sometimes if they can get the watch wet or shower with it uh yes you can literally dive underwater with an apple watch and it’ll be fine it’s rated for 50 rhythms deep of irrigate opposition so it’s no garmin but the things have been pretty tough for a while this watch is also now brighter when you’re not looking at it it’s subtle but you know so if you have always on you know how it gets dimmer when you’re not looking at it and then gets brighter when you’re checking it when you’re checking it same brightness max are similar but when you applied it down and it’s sort of dimmer it’s a bit brighter in that dim state than the previous one so if you’re someone who likes to only glance over at the watch without doing like an obvious gesticulate then yeah you can check the time or your complications or notifications easier that acces it barely shows on camera but this new watch is slightly slightly more comprehensible from off axis when it’s dim it’s noticeable when you articulated them next to each other but wasn’t a huge cope for me but the little thing that applied to me “the worlds largest” it blames 33 faster now so same battery life about a daylight and a half you can kill it much faster if you do workouts or gps tracked activity nonsense like that but with and exclusively with the new usbc charger included in the box with this new puck the watch does charge up a bit faster it’s not super stunning it’ll still take about an hour to bill it up amply from dead but if you’re like me i’m a person that wears a watch like 24 hours per day all the time i sleep in it extremely so it’s my alarm clock i hate going to sleep with it on but it is a great alarm clock merely tapping me on the wrist so the only goes well get to charge it are very brief it’ll be like when i’m in the shower or when i get up in the morning for a couple minutes so i want it to charge fast when i do get a chance to charge so this charging acceleration increase is appreciated uh eight minutes on the brand-new charger is enough for eight hours of sleep moving with the screen off so that’s pretty great only make sure you have a decent usbc power brick and your name you wanna know my biggest disappointment actually with these watches though the emblazon selections so you may have noticed i’m wearing the produce red edition of the watch it’s very bold luminou red but i feel like with a watch you you wear it every day you want it to be a little more neutral a little more able to match with more things and then if you want to spice it up you do that with the watch clique like this beautiful brand-new mkbhd leather leash from instant with the full particle soft embossed skin and trademarked parallelogram tessellation structure and that crispy red accent link in the specific characteristics also shout out to moment for co-designing this but apple doesn’t render a neutral complexion for the aluminum baseline apple watch i echo no neutral colored aluminum so aluminum is the baseline it’s 400 bucks and i define neutral as like a shadow of black or grey-headed or lily-white so i know some people might consider the starlight pretty neutral but it certainly has a warmer hue than a silver-tongued lumber and midnight has a slight blue hue much more than a black timber so the only way to get a genuine neutral tint of grey-haired would be to jump to titanium or stainless steel which is not only heavier but much more expensive so it only bothers me that i can’t get a baseline black aluminum apple watch it’s you know maybe i’m being picky about the color but since i am that squeamish i’ll probably just stick with the serial six but that’s not on sale anymore so if you want to get one good luck so now on apple site they’re selling the lineup of streaks seven se and the low-pitched goal successions 3. So if you can avoid the series 3 you are well aware unless it’s your first smartwatch in which contingency “youre supposed to” won’t know what you’re missing that’s fine but the main differences between sequences 7 and se are the larger ever on display this set of shades of course and there’s a duet additional sensors like for blood oxygen and the electrocardiogram the watch se is great for almost all but if you can get past these colours then yeah the line 7 is it’s the best overall smart-alecky watch for the iphone still i imply it doesn’t have any crazy brand-new features it doesn’t have you know charging on the back of the iphone it doesn’t have the brand-new square redesign we might have been hoping for but yeah it’s the apple watch but bigger there “theres going” but yeah there’s a new apple phenomenon literally next week so if you’re hoping for some more exciting stuff maybe we’ll assure some of it there but that’s pretty much it for this one catch you guys very soon in the next one because it’s tectober and this stuff time retains wheeling catch you guys then peace
