Alongside the new iPhone 13 series and the refreshed iPad mini, Apple also unveiled its next-generation Apple Watch Series 7 during yesterday's California Streaming event. While the Apple Watch 7 didn't match the leaked renders that hinted at a flat-edged design, Apple did make a couple of significant upgrades to the Series 7 over its predecessor. So in this story, we will compare the latest Apple Watch 7 with the previous year's Apple Watch 6 in terms of design, health features and other categories. Without wasting any more time, let's check out this in-depth Apple Watch 7 vs Apple Watch 6 comparison.

The design of the Apple Watch models has remained more or less unchanged in recent years. But with the Apple Watch 7, the company has made small design changes to make it stand out and appeal to more users. So compared to the Apple Watch 6, Apple has made the Apple Watch 7 models much curvier overall. In addition, the latest models come in two new larger sizes – a 41mm model and a 45mm model. The 41mm replaces the Series 6's 40mm variant, while the 45mm replaces the 44mm variant. However, it's worth mentioning that your older bands will be supported by the new Watch 7.

Additionally, the latest smartwatch comes with the same WR50 rating for water resistance, much like its predecessor. However, unlike the Series 6 models, the Apple Watch Series 7 is the first Apple Watch to have the IP6X rating for dust resistance.

Now coming to the biggest change, Apple has upgraded the display on the Apple Watch 7 to give it a true bezel-less look. Compared to the 1.78-inch screen on the Apple Watch 6, the Watch 7's screen is 20% larger and extends to the edges. In addition, the Cupertino giant was able to reduce the bezel around the larger screen to just 1.7mm. The company has managed to fit a larger screen into the same chassis as the Apple Watch 6.
