I recently reviewed the new Apple Watch Series 8, an incredible feature packed watch, however with its release the previous Apple Watch Series 7 just became more affordable. If you are looking to upgrade your older Apple Watch Series 3, 4 or SE, the question is should you buy the latest Apple Watch Series 8 or is it worth saving some cash and getting the Apple Watch Series 7 instead? To answer this, today we’ll look at the differences and crucially the similarities between the Series 8 and Series 7 to find out which is the better buy! Apple sells Series 8 for $399, 41mm version I have here. Apple no longer sell Series 7 but on Amazon, eBay, I found 41mm version for around $300. $100 less, significant price saving. But the question is, what do you sacrifice for the $100 in features? Key differences between the Series 8 and Series 7. Brighter alwayson display. Noticeable difference in day to day, however max brightness is the same. Adds temperature sensors. Crash detection. Faster S8 chip on Series 8 compared to S7 chip on Series 7. Speed differences minimal in day to day use, but does mean 12 more years of software support and new features down the road, getting 56 years, vs 45 years. This makes the Series 8 a better long term investment. Perhaps more important than the differences between the Series 8 and Series 7 are what these watches have in common. From the outside, practically identical, same dimensions, same midnight colour. Most importantly, both have always on display. My favourite feature of the Series 7 and 8 Apple Watch and is a key reason to choose these models over the SE or SE 2 which does not have an always on display. 1mm larger compared to SE, 41mm vs 40mm, 45mm vs 44mm. 1mm goes a long way on display of this size. Thinner curved bezels looks more modern, content literarily flows on and off the display. Watch OS 9 features, including low power mode, get even more battery. Speaking of battery, I see no difference, both last allday. Both get fast charging, 80% in around 30 mins. On screen keyboard to respond to messages. 50m water resistant. Health features: ECG, Blood Oxygen, 24h heart rate monitoring. The most important Apple Watch features, you will find both on the Series 8 as well as on the Series 7. For $100 less, the Apple Watch Series 7 is an incredible value watch. In fact I consider it to be a better value watch compared to the Series 8 as per dollar you get more watch!
