I wasn’t going to buy theApple Watch Series 7. I was going to wait for theApple Watch Series 8, which I was sure would get a whole bunch of new sensors after the Series 7’s revamped design. But I’ve changed my mind, and right now there’s a shiny newApple WatchSeries 7 on my wrist.
It’s not that I have poor impulse control, although I do. It’s because that multiple reports suggest that the Series 8 isn’t going to come packing lots of new sensors, and it isn’t going to be significantly redesigned either: that’s for the rumoured rugged model, which as a sedentary journalist I don’t need.
We know new sensors are coming, but they don’t appear to be coming this year.
Sensors and sensibility
For me at least, that makes the Apple Watch Series 7 the watch to buy: unlike the Series 8 I can actually have it now, and it is likely to remain thebest smartwatchfrom any manufacturer for most of this year.
The news does leave me with one question, though. If the Series 8 isn’t getting new sensors, and it isn’t getting a redesign, how is Apple going to differentiate it from the Series 7? We won’t know the answer to that one until well into 2022.
