Save 29%: Apple Watch Series 7
The details
The Apple Watch Series 7 is an on-the-go command centre for calls and texts, Apple Pay, and dozens of health and fitness metrics.
The watch measures your blood oxygen levels, takes an ECG, tracks your sleep, and offers the same spot-on calorie and heart rating monitoring that you've come to expect from Apple devices.
Apple's Series 7 smartwatch features a screen that's nearly 20 per cent larger than its predecessor, the Series 6, while maintaining 40 per cent thinner borders.
A must-have device for modern-day wellness, the smartwatch tracks every which way you get your heart going, including swimming, yoga, dancing and cycling.
What people are saying
It's an "awesome" smartwatch, writes one shopper. "I've had all previous versions of the Apple Watch," and the Series 7 is "the best yet — highly recommend!"
"Every version is better than the last," echoes another, who calls it an "amazing product."
A 'mini computer on your wrist'
It's so "versatile," it's like having a "mini computer on your wrist," writes a third reviewer. The shopper praises its health features and notes how convenient the Apple Pay function is; "I don't even have to carry a wallet!"
Despite a majority of stellar reviews, some users recommend "thinking twice" before purchasing the watch and re-evaluating if you will actually use all of its features.
"I [returned] it because I hardly used it for anything except checking the time," writes one reviewer.
The verdict
Described as a "mini computer on your wrist" by Amazon shoppers, the Apple Watch Series 7 has earned praise for its smart features, like fitness tracking and Apple Pay. However, some reviewers recommend "thinking twice" before shelling out the dough and doing a personal cost-benefit analysis of the device.
