The New Apple Watch Proves That Function Is as Important as Flash

When the Apple Watch Series 7 was announced earlier this fall, I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed.
Previous iterations of the smartwatch had debuted new heath-focused features that seemed important—think the Series 4's ECG app and fall detection or the Series 6's SpO2 scan and sleep tracking—but the Series 7 boasted no such additions, instead launching with a newly reengineered display and other less headline-worthy changes, like a QWERTY keyboard for texting and fast-charging capabilities. Not every year can come with a massive health innovation, I conceded, and tempered my expectations for the upcoming wear test and review..
Then, I actually got my hands on (or, more accurately, my wrist through) my Series 7 test unit for a week-long trial. I've been reviewing fitness trackers and smartwatches for going on a half-decade now, and this was the biggest example of "you won't know until you try it" I've yet come across in my career. The Series 7 is perhaps the most easily usable smartwatch I've ever tested, and a testament to the idea that functionality can trump flash when it comes to the actual everyday experience with your devices..
