As they say, bigger is always better, and that certainly seems to be true for the new Apple Watch Series 7.

Almost all the early reviews call out the new, bigger screen, which is significantly super-sized compared to older models. It’s so big, in fact, it makes previous Watch screens look small.

Faster charging and watchOS 8 tweaks also earn praise, but the watch’s availability doesn’t. Shipping dates extend into early November.

So, if you want to experience Series 7’s big screen for yourself, you might have a long wait on your hands (and not a new watch!)

One more thing ...

“My best contribution to the group is not settling for anything but really good stuff. A lot of times, people don’t do great things because great things really aren’t expected of them, and nobody ever really demands that they try, and nobody says, ‘Hey, that’s the culture here.’ If you set that up, people will do things that are greater than they ever thought they could be. Really some great work that will go down in history.” – Steve Jobs
