Moreover, Apple Watch Series 7 is equipped with fast charging, which is 33% faster than the sixth-generation product, and it only takes 45 minutes to charge from 0% to 80%, which greatly improves the user experience.

However, Series 7 users on Reddit, Apple support forums, and more say their watch charges as slowly as a snail. Some Reddit users claim that the watch can only charge about 5% in 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, a user on an Apple forum claimed that the watch was only charged 5% in an hour.

Furthermore, the Apple Watch Series 7 series is available in 41mm and 45mm versions, with a larger screen-to-body ratio and faster charging. Apple Watch Series 7 is compatible with Apple’s own 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, 96W USB-C chargers, and it also adapts to third-party USB-C interface chargers.

The official version of watchOS 8.5, released on March 15, introduced support for Emoji 14-character emoticons, updated irregular rhythm notifications to improve atrial fibrillation recognition, and fixed an email privacy protection vulnerability that could expose IP addresses.
