Earlier in the day, Flipkart had jumped the gun on Apple Watch Series 7 India rates, listing the item hours ahead of a formal announcement. Turns out these rates had been appropriate which means the Apple Watch Series 7 certainly begins at Rs 41,990—same as the Series 6. This is for the 41mm aluminum version with Wi-Fi. Eagle-eyed readers would be speedy to point out that the Apple Watch is having a size upgrade in this generation. The 40mm version is becoming upgraded to 41mm. The 44mm version is meanwhile having upgraded to 46mm.

The Series 7 delivers “nearly 20 percent more screen area and thinner borders at just 1.7 mm,” according to Apple. Moreover, the Always-On Retina show is now “up to 70 percent brighter indoors than that of Apple Watch Series 6.”
Elsewhere, the watch is more crack-resistant when compared with the Apple Watch Series 6. It is also rated IP6X for dust-resistance in addition to becoming swim-proof with a water resistance rating of WR50.
Apple hasn’t revealed the core hardware but it is extremely most likely that the new watch has the identical dual core S6 processor as the model that it is replacing. It is additional rated to provide up to 18-hour battery life and can supposedly charge up to 33 % quicker compared with its predecessor.
