Apple Watch Series 7 pre orders to open on Friday

Apple Watch Series 7 pre orders are set to open this Friday (October 8) at 1pm UK time, Apple has announced this afternoon.

The tech giant also confirmed that the new version of its wearable will be available in stores and to ship from a week later, from Friday October 15.

The Series 7 was announced alongside the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and new versions of the iPad mini and iPad at an Apple event last month.

The Series 7 will have the largest Apple Watch display so far thanks to thinner screen borders, new aluminium case colours, better durability and water resistance and 33 per cent faster charging than its predecessors. It is also the first Apple Watch to have a keyboard, courtesy of WatchOS8.

Available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, the watch will be available in midnight, starlight, green, red and a new blue colour (pictured), while stainless steel models will come in silver, graphite, gold, titanium and space black titanium. Apple has also promised a range of new band colours and styles, although details on these have not yet been released.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is more evolution than revolution, but with a range of new colours and increased screen size it's still going to be a tempting prospect for many when it launches.

This is great news for people looking for Black Friday Apple Watch deals this November 26, because it opens the the possibility for better deals for the Apple Watch Series 6, which isn't too different in functionality and still proved a hit with our reviewer.
