is it data data or
Daddy oh
my I am so excited to be unboxing the
Apple Watch series 7 I myself have an
Apple Watch series 3 so I'm hoping this is a good enough upgrade so that in the
future I can steal this
one the packaging is super clean uh that's exactly what I would expect from
Apple White simple it really helps
feature the product itself which is it
looks like the 45 mm green aluminum case
I do love how they feature these cute little illustrations on the packaging I
haven't seen that with Apple products before it's embossed or debossed and
everything
hey all right oh oh I ripped it a I
guess you have to take it all right the unboxing
process is a little trickier okay it's turning on now I prefer the black watch
over the other options that they have but if you want something a little more funky they also have a green a red a
blue and the Starlight color what color is Starlight Starlight I it's kind of a
whsh color I don't know how else to describe it they also offer two other
finishes they have the stainless steel options and the titanium options I call
those moneybag options yes exactly they are quite a bit pricier you know I could
unbox just the Hermes bands because they are even more expensive than any of the
watch bodies wait wait you pronounce it Hermes it's Hermes is it heres no it's
French it is French I really do love this packaging with the watch bands in
previous generations I don't recall them including instructions as to how to do
it so clearly so I will say attaching
the strap to the watch does feel a bit cheap or flimsy uh but once it's in
there it's in there the display of the new watch is
ip6x certified uh dust resistant the
crystal is the most crack resistant that we've seen so far first person I thought
of was my dad cuz he's a carpenter he has like a Fitbit or something it's
always so dusty and he gets dust in all of the little crevices so this is really
nice the new watch 7 is actually 20%
larger than the Apple watch SE and 50%
larger than the Apple Watch series 3 which is why I'm most interested because
I would love to have a larger screen so it's easier to see while I'm just you
know living my life another difference between this generation and the last is
that the charging cable is actually USBC
now so you can plug it into your MacBook Pro and not have to to worry about using
a dongle which I always need to do the cable feels thicker I don't know if
that's just me uh my dog ate through my last one the watch 7 features an up to
18h hour battery power which is the same as the series 5 and six the only
difference is that this one charges up to 33% faster which means that for
people on the go this is way more convenient while my phone is updating

up my Apple watch and pair it with my phone I will mention that the pairing
process for the new Apple watch 7 is very similar to uh the other
series super super easy and
convenient you could pretty much set it up anywhere pairing failed excuse me so
easy I would like to revoke my statement
my phone would not pair with the Apple watch for the life of it so I'm going to
be using jono's phone instead
hello oh there we go you're wondering if there's anything else really different
with the the internals of the Apple Watch series 7 well there isn't it
shares the same 64-bit dual core processor as the Series 6 the
connectivity specs are the same as the last generation when it comes to Wi-Fi
data and Bluetooth wow spiffy the Swatch band is a little big
for my wrist but that's okay do you want to share the analytics with apple
no is it data data or
Daddy oh my
get to know your watch we're going to become friends I will say the watch band
is quite comfortable it feels like it forms to your wrist the silicone one
kind of did that as well but this one is
lighter almost I feel like my skin can breathe better
yay oh I don't want tips you got to go to LTT for
that this man's right here
Mr lonus Sebastian himself so one great feature that the
Apple watch 7 offers is the always on Retina Display which I love because with
my Series 3 I always find myself flicking my wrist towards me and
smacking it to turn it off as a designer I always like to match my Apple watch
screen to my outfit so let's see what
they have for new faces it looks like
they have added this one for the new series 7 and I'm going to change the
color to match what I'm wearing today so let's find a gray Perfect Look at that
and you can also use your own photos so if you want to be reminded of your cute
dog every 2 minutes then hey so be it you can change it to that as well the
newest applications Apple has added to the series 7 is the blood oxygen level
detector and the ECG test which are both
not recommended for people who are
under 22 which is myself why maybe it
just can't get an accurate reading I'm just going to test my heart rate right
now so this is how you can tell I'm actually
nervous I try not to show it but this is literally what my heart rate is like all
the time as I got older I started getting heart palpitations and I didn't
know why I was getting really bad pains in my chest um until I used my Apple
watch to check my heart rate and it was at like
190 yeah and that would happen to me every like six or seven months and it
still happens till this day so it is super handy for me to have uh a heart
rate on my wrist all the time just so that if I can see my heart rate is up uh
I can use coping mechanisms or breathing um mechanisms to help me bring it back
down oh blood oxygen all right let's see how this works keep your watch Facing up
and try not to move move resting your wrist on the table can help Okay my
wrist is indeed rested on the table so my blood oxygen is at 95 this actually
might be really good for someone with asthma that's cool there's a menstrual
tracking cycle thing you serious yeah there is oh I have to open my health app
which is actually jonno's Health app and uh I don't think he's tracking his
menstrual cycles I'm just finishing up setting up the
ECG and there are some disclaimers which
is good thanks Apple for telling me that I should use this as a way to track
whether or not I'm having a heart attack it's quite snug on my left wrist
you can see my skin is kind of you know popping out there there we go my heart
rate is a 106 beats per minute average
so I saw this trick on Tik Tok that I would love to try out just to see if it
actually works so basically you can set your Apple watch to open Apple pay or
Siri or some other features by simply just making a fist so what I'm going to
do is go to uh Assistive touch and then
hand gestures and if I go into clench I
can actually change it to any of
these options like am I doing it wrong
what else is a clench like this is a clench right yeah fist yeah
hello I'm sad about this I really thought it was going to work so one last
determining factor for me is lonus mentioned a little while ago that there
was a fervorous uh intense calorie
burning activity that is not in the
sports app I'm talking about Badminton by the way thanks um so I wanted to see
if that is available now add workout
okay let's see there it is look at that
badminton so if you play badminton while
the visual aspects of this new series 7 Apple watch have changed quite a bit the
retina screen and the crystal display
are really great new features but if you're trying to upgrade from a Series 6
to a series 7 honestly I don't think it would be worth it on the other hand if
you're like me and are stuck with the series 3 then maybe you do want to
upgrade I'll leave that up to you and to your judgment since I was having
problems with a couple of the features maybe after time they'll get easier and
work better if you want to learn more about the Apple watch 7 and hopefully
watch somebody who doesn't have as many issues as I do then I suggest going over
to our Mac Channel and watching Jonathan go over all of the features and review
the new Apple watch 7 or if you aren't an Apple user like myself check out
Jake's unboxing of the Samsung watch 4 on this channel thanks for watching
