Apple Watch Series 7 revs up growing smartwatch market

New Delhi: Apple on Friday released its new smartwatch — Apple Watch Series 7 — in the latest move to further boost its presence in the growing smartwatch market.

The release came as the pandemic-driven stay-at-home trend and rising health concerns have fuelled the popularity of smartwatches fitted with health care and fitness features.

The latest Apple smartwatch comes with a 20 percent bigger screen and a 40 percent thinner body than the Apple Watch Series 6. Its battery runs for 18 hours, like the previous model, but charges 33 percent faster.
