Evolution point found using "Apple Watch 7"

In this update, he showed some future as a technology to be acquired as a more pursuing the "should be".

Current status of Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is a smartwatch released in April 2015 and is a top runner in the category and boasts a 50 % share.

According to Statista, an independent investigation company Statista, the user -based in the world of Apple Watch has increased by more than 1220 million by 2020 and has increased 10 times over the five years since its release.9.5 million were shipped in the second quarter of 2021, exceeding the fourth quarter of 2018, which had recorded the maximum shipment.In the fourth quarter of the year, the sales volume increases the most, but the background that exceeds that is that the return from the corona has captured the timing of resuming activities.

In the most recent financial results (April -June 2021), it was revealed that 75 % of Apple Watch buyers were new users.Nevertheless, Apple's Tim Cook CEO states that "Apple Watch is still the early spread of the spread," and has found both the difficulty and marketability of users.

So why can Apple Watch sell by returning from Corona?The answer can be explained as it is with Apple Watch.

Apple Watch is still a smart watch on the premise of pairing with the iPhone.The Apple Watch will save you the hassle of setting various settings, and you will be able to automatically complete data linkage.

The great advantage of linking Apple Watch with the iPhone is the avoidance of the iPhone's face recognition, Face ID.

The Face ID has provided a mechanism that can unlock the iPhone with a face, but it became a daily life on the premise of the mask, and if the mask was shifted or did not remove it, it became extremely inconvenient when going out.

If you pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone, you will be able to unlock the iPhone by avoiding the Face ID just by installing the locked Apple Watch.This is very comfortable and is an indispensable feature for those who travel by transportation.

The new color of the green aluminum case is very deep green and finally looks green in a strong light environment (photographed by the author).

In addition, Apple Pay, which can set transportation IC cards such as Suica and PASMO, can also read commuter passes or purchase new and continuous purchase, so when you pass the ticket gate with your wrist or shop at a convenience store, only your wrist.You can do it.Even charging can be done on the Apple Watch screen, so there is no need to line up on the charge machine.

There is no need to take out the iPhone from a bag or pocket, and the payment is done only with the wrist, so that there is no need to touch the iPhone with the hand that touches the track on the train, the stress is extremely reduced.

In the city life of aftercorona that wants to avoid contact and closely as much as possible, Apple Watch can be evaluated as a reliably brought comfort and efficiency.

Improved charging cycle

I wear an Apple Watch when I go to bed at night, and measure the quality of sleep and the pulse and blood oxygen concentration while sleeping.Blood oxygen concentration is an index that detects the severity that has been noticed by the spread of the new colon virus.

Because it is not a medical measurement, it is said to be a "blood oxygen wellness application", and it takes time to rest and it takes time to measure 15 seconds, but it gives the same numbers compared to the pulse oximeter at hand.Therefore, it is a measurement function that personally trusts.

When you wake up in the morning, you charge for less than an hour while preparing for yourself.Now you can secure a day's worth battery.In Apple Watch Series 7, a new USB-C-connected quick charger will be included, and the battery can be recovered from 0 % to 80 % in 45 minutes.

In addition, the battery for 8 hours of sleep measurement in 8 minutes can be charged in 8 minutes, so it can be used to cover a whole day by charging a little before going to bed and getting up and going out.Obviously, the time to be charged is decreasing.

Above all, the new display described below is more power -saving, so it is always displayed and you can check the time, not only on the light turn ON, but also when you use it with lighting off, you will realize the battery duration of more than the catalog value.Can do.

Apple Watch Series 7 (left) and Series 6 (right).As the screen size of the diagonal is expanded from 44mm to 45mm, you can see that the display area is expanding very much (photographed by the author).

The biggest feature of Apple Watch Series 7 is the display.The second size was expanded, and the series configuration was 41mm diagonal and 45mm.

Considering that the Apple Watch at the time of appearance was 38mm and 42mm, it can be seen that the small size screen size is approaching a large size.However, this time, the compatibility of the band will continue to be maintained, and the 38mm band can be used as a 41mm model and a 42mm band for 45mm models.

According to Apple, this display is the result of challenging the limit.As mentioned above, we aim to maximize the screen without greatly changing the size of the band or case, and compared to Series 6, the edge of Series 7 screen is 40 % thinner, and the screen size is the first Series 3 (first generation.The same design) was increased by 50 %.

The appearance changes are greater than the numbers.Compared to Series 6, the screen area is clearly expanding, and the black part of the edge is reduced.

In fact, even Series 6 is worried about the border, and I dare to make it a black dial so that I don't feel the thickness of the edge.It became a thinner edge, and in the future, I was able to choose colored dials, and the pleasure of Apple Watch has increased.

The most durable Apple Watch so far

It is a full display that has a stronger impression from the front, but in fact it has a mysterious cover glass that can be seen from the side.The display of the edge of the screen can be seen on the bulge of the glass side, so that a number with numbers is emerged on the side.

This is because we have prepared a mechanism to let the light refraction with the front glass and convey light on the side of the edge part.Until now, digital dials were the theme of what to do with the front display, and when viewed from the side, it became a world of product design and could not intervene in digital.

However, this new cover glass makes the digital spread on the side of the clock, which can be said to be a smartwatch -like production in digital and analog fusion.

This cover glass uses a material that is hard to crack that enhances turtle resistance.It is said that 50 % thicker front crystal did not lose optical transparency.Therefore, it can be said that the refraction of light could make the display appear on the side.

Dustproof has been recognized for the first time, and it can be said that it is the most durable Apple Watch.

The motivation to acquire Apple Watch every day is the health tracking function.How many steps and how long did you walk a day just by wearing it?How much did you exercise more than fast walking?It measures whether it is standing up once an hour and keeps a record.

Individuals can set an active calorie consumption of one day.For example, I set the daily calorie consumption by exercise to 350kcal, but it gradually became more active, and now the 500kcal is a goal.Looking at your usual data and notifying the goals every week, you can get a habit of increasing the amount of activity naturally.

In addition, in the case of Apple Watch, it is also interesting that everyday life becomes a sport.

For example, if you set an exercise of "outdoor walking" on foot to the station, you will measure the time, distance, pace, pulse rate, etc.At the same time, the height difference and weather conditions are also recorded, and the route that walked by GPS remains on the map.

There are various awareness, such as "I arrived at the platform in the 11 -minute range this morning", "I lost time with the traffic light today", and "the speed drops when it rains", so I can make a little time happily.

If you have your luggage or press a stroller to measure with your wrist, the walking may not be measured correctly.Outdoor walking can be measured by using GPS to measure more correctly.

In addition, there are other major sports measurement modes such as bicycles, tennis, and swimming, and if you have a child, it will be surprisingly moved if you turn on the chase or soccer in the park on the weekend.Notice that you are motivated.

I want to measure one of the few opportunities with Apple Watch and change into a chance to feel active because it is not a situation where I can enjoy going out.That may be the reason why Apple Watch is accepted by aftercorona.

How to choose Apple Watch

Unlike the iPhone, Apple Watch can be purchased in your favorite combination.If you turn it over, you have to choose yourself.

Basically, first select from the collection.In addition to the regular Apple Watch, a collaboration model of Nike and Hermes is available.

The Nike model is two types: aluminum starlight and midnight, and two types of sports bands with buckles or sports loops without buckles, and the screen display and band are dedicated to the Nike model.

The Hermes model is a combination of stainless steel silver or space black and nylon or leather band, and the dial and back engraving are also Hermes specifications.

In particular, the combination with leather bands is sold in the Hermes model, and in this series, a leather gourmet gourmet dubln (two laps of the wrist) imitated a chain was added.

In the normal Apple Watch, -size (41mm / 45mm) ・ Case material (aluminum / stainless steel / titanium) ・ Color (5 aluminum, 4 stainless steel, 2 titanium) ・ Band (7 types of style)

In combination with your favorite Apple Watch, there are a lot of options.You can see your favorite combination photos on the Apple website, so please refer to it.

However, in this lineup, it is about silver and gold options.

Until now, silver and gold were also prepared for aluminum models that reduced the price.However, the aluminum case of Series 7 has no gold settings, and a new color Starlight has been added instead of silver.

Starlight has the impression that the color temperature with a little yellow color is low, and it is difficult to choose for those who are expecting a clear whitish silver.However, it is not as color as gold.

If you want to choose a silver or gold case, you need to be careful because the price of stainless steel, which increases the price, will be an option, and if you try to select it in color, the price will rise.

As a casual wrist information terminal

The Apple Watch is positioned as a product that is in the early days of the sixth and seventh generation since its appearance.

It brings usage of information different from smartphones that are large and easy to operate on the iPhone only with your wrist, responded to messages by voice, check and search for information by voice.

Maximized the character size with the settings from the iPhone.By expanding the display area, the length that can be read as a sentence to some extent is displayed at once (photographed by the author).

Especially in a society, which was presumed to be countermeasures against corona, it is recognized as a means of communication and payment without touching various things, but this is a function that has been provided in Apple Watch before Corona, and accidentally society.It can be said to be the result of increased importance in the situation.

The reason for continuing the challenge of changing the appearance, design, and impressions by making full use of digital, without changing the form factor as an industrial product is because it is something to acquire.Like a smartphone, the size of the terminal cannot be expanded in darkness.

In that sense, the Apple Watch has the most integrated Apple design, engineering, and consideration, and you can feel the production of making your daily life fun.
