The question before purchasing the three points that you want "Apple Watch Series 7" is also resolved!

Review the latest Apple Watch Series 7, which will start selling on October 15.Midnight on the left and green on the right.Cellular+GPS model of the same 45mm case

"Large screen" that is easy to see and operate

Apple Watch Series 7 is the latest model of 2021, which is shipped with the latest Watchos 8.The price starts at 48,800 yen, depending on the size of the case and the presence or absence of cellular communication function.The standard model Apple Watch SE, which debuted last year, will be sold at a reasonable price of 22,800 yen from 32,800 yen to the lowest price from 22,800 yen.

Series 7, a new model, has evolved in three important hardware from last year's main model Series 6.

One is that the screen (screen) has become even larger.Only one bezel (black edge) around the screen.By narrowing to 7mm, the size of the case has been increased by 1mm larger, and the display area of the screen has increased by about 20 % from Series 6 and Series 3 to 50 % or more.

The scales of the dial, the value of the complex, the value of the text, the achievement of the activity, the text of emails and messages, etc. are easier to see.Passcodes and calculator apps have a large number of numbers, so you can make them more accurate.

Charging speed is fast for USB-C!The selection of the USB power adapter becomes the key

The next point I want to focus on is that the new USB-C-compatible cable that comes with the Apple Watch for the first time can now be charged high-speed.The trouble of charging every day is greatly reduced.

Since the Series 7 product package does not come with a USB power adapter, it is necessary to purchase an Apple genuine 20W USB-C power adapter (A2305, actual selling price 2,200 yen).If you have two accessories, you will be able to charge Apple Watch Series 7 high -speed charging.

The conventional charging cable and the Apple genuine 5W USB power adapter (A1385) were connected to Series 6 to compare the charging speed with Series 7.Series 7 took 40 minutes and Series 6 took 70 minutes for recovery from 50 % to 100 % battery level.

Apple explains that if you charge for 8 minutes before going to bed, you can do about 8 hours of sleep tracking without worrying about running out of battery.When I woke up in the morning and noticed that the remaining Apple Watch battery was unacceptable just before going out, I felt very encouraging to be able to recover by high -speed charging.

I put Series 7 and Series 6 on the left and right arms to exercise and listen to music for about an hour, but the feeling of speed of battery and attenuation seems to be unlikely to change.am.However, considering that the screen has become larger, and when the screen display setting is "always on" and the wrist is lowered, the so -called semi -slept state has become more than 70 % bright indoors.You can see that the dual core SIP "S7" has greatly contributed to improving power efficiency.

Finally, Apple Watch has become a "toughness watch"!

And the third point is that the charm as a toughness watch has increased.The windshield that spreads to the end of the growing screen is doubled as Series 6, maintaining transparency.In addition, it was hard to crack, and it became difficult to scratch.

The case does not provide special processing to enhance the surface, but for the first time as an Apple Watch, it is the first IP6X grade dustproof.You can spend your Apple Watch on the sports, hobbies you enjoy, and the time to enjoy playing with small children.The waterproof response that allows you to swim in the pool with Apple Watch is inherited from the conventional series.

Just focusing on the three points, isn't it possible to see that the Apple Watch you buy now is Series 7, or that Series 6 users are worth considering replacement and buying?

Apple Watch Series 7, solve Gimon before purchasing!

Next, I would like to answer the fine gimons that are likely to be worried about the purchase of Apple Watch Series 7 in earnest.

[1] Which case should you choose?

The Apple Watch Series 7 cases include three types, aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium.I think it is better to choose the texture of metal and the beauty of the appearance according to your own liking.

However, it is easy to appeal to the latest Series 7, which has five vivid colors, including Apple Watch for the first time in Apple Watch.You can choose from black midnight, high -quality champagne gold -style starlight, bright color, (Product) RED.

I had the opportunity to try green and midnight.The green looks like a black in the distance, but when you hold it over the light, it shines a calm and deep green color.Midnight, which is blacked by blue undertone, gives a more luxurious sense than conventional space gray.I think the color of a mid -night sports band like a bitter indigo is also very good.

The case is slightly heavier than Series 6, both due to the increase in the screen and both GPS+Cellular and GPS single model.There is a difference between an aluminum case and a stainless steel case nearly 9 to 10 g, so you can see the difference by attaching it to your wrist.If you want to use Apple Watch for activity and sleep tracking, if you want a lighter Apple Watch as much as possible, you should compare the wearing feeling and weight at the store.

[2] What is the convenient cellular function?

Apple Wach Series 7 also has a Cellular+GPS model for mobile data communication.Even if the iPhone is not nearby, you can recognize and send e -mails with Watch alone, or connect earphones or headphones with Bluetooth, you can enjoy music streaming by Apple Music or Spotify alone.

The bigger screen makes the "Map" app easier to use.I feel that the compatibility between celluler communication function and map app has improved.

It is a pity that it does not support Japanese, but Series 7 can now enter accurate characters with QwERTY software keyboards.If it is easier to respond to emails and messages with Apple Watch, there is a response that can spread from shopping in the neighborhood to cafes and gyms from shopping in the neighborhood without an iPhone.Currently, au for NTT DOCOMO and SoftBank provide mobile communication services for Apple Watch with cellular functions at relatively affordable rates.If you take this opportunity to use cellular -compatible Apple Watch, you will find various discoveries.

[3] Can I use a band before Series 6?

It is the real pleasure of Apple Watch, which is a wristwatch and a strong color as a fashion item, being able to customize looks by changing various bands.

Series 7 has a larger case size of 1mm in both large and small models compared to Series 6 and SE, but each has a compatibility with bands for conventional large and small models.If you have collected the Apple Watch band, don't worry.At least, if you are an Apple genuine band, you can use it according to Series 7.

[4] I want to know the package bundled items

As mentioned earlier, Apple Watch Sereis 7 has a new USB-C high-speed charging cable.The Apple Watch does not include a USB power adapter from Series 6/SE released in 2020, so you need to purchase it separately.

A 30W USB-C power adapter attached to the MacBook Air was also available.As long as I tried, the charging speed was the same as the 20W genuine USB-C powered adapter.I tried a 65W USB-C power adapter released by a third party maker for USB PD, but the time it takes is the same.Considering that it is small and portable, the road that uses the Apple genuine 20W USB-C power adapter "A2305" seems to be the most efficient.

In addition, USB-C-compatible cables corresponding to high-speed charging of Series 7 are also sold separately, but it is not possible to charge a model before Series 6 at the same speed as Series 7.

[5] Enjoy bicycle workouts with Watchos 8

Watchos 8, which has been distributed earlier than Apple Watch Series 7, has added a new workout app.

The "cycling" of the workout app has automatically detected that users wearing watches have started traveling by bicycle, just like running and walking, and reminds them to start recording workouts.I came to do it.Forget the record of the workout that you started with, and you will be released from the worries of "moving losses".

When you actually use it, it detects that you are riding a bicycle even if you don't have so fast.In addition to cycling as a sport, be sure to record more and more on your bicycle for commuting and shopping.You may be captivated by the "activity challenge".

In the unlikely event that you fall while traveling by bicycle, Apple Watch has a function that automatically detects falling and calls for emergency calling services.

[6] I want to wear Apple Wach Series 7 different from people.

Anyway, if you want to appeal to your personality with "things that are a little different from people", the NIKE model of Apple Watch Series 7 is recommended anyway.

The new nylon Nike sports loop has a vividly placed brand logo "swoosh".The "bounce dial" that moves interactively according to the movement of the user worn is a privilege that only Nike model users can use.

We also recommend "Apple Watch Hermes", a collaboration model with a luxury apparel brand Hermes.There are a variety of variations of bands, such as the stylish leather band "Simpurul" and "Duble Tour", and the circuit H and Simpto Leather straps with pop colors.All Apple Watch Hermes comes with a rare Hermes sports band as a replacement band.

Of course, I believe in my sense, and enjoy the use of "my own Apple Watch" by casually arranging cases, bands, dial combinations, etc. based on the standard model of Apple Watch Series 7.It is number.Before visiting the store, I think it's a good idea to use the "Apple Watch Studio" service on Apple's website to find and enjoy what you suit you from the latest case and band.
