Apple Watch 7000 Series ⌚️

Hi

7000 series refers to the aluminium material used in certain Apple Watch models including 1st generation, Series 1 and Series 2 models.

Some differences that you may find helpful to note include:

• Apple Watch (1st generation) models have a single core processor.
• Newer models - in the Series 1 and Series 2 ranges - have a faster, dual-core processor.
• Series 2 models also have:
  • A higher level of water resistance.

    The watch can be worn, for example, when shallow water swimming and is also more resistant to water than other models during general daily use.

  • A brighter display (twice as bright as 1st generation and Series 1 models).
  • Built-in GPS.

    This can be used to track workout route maps for certain outdoor workouts when the paired iPhone is not also taken along and can also be used to help locate a lost watch (subject to it being connected to a trusted Wi-Fi network).

• Aluminium models have Ion-X glass (these watches are lighter in weight than stainless steel models of the same case size).
• Stainless steel watches have a sapphire crystal, which is more scratch resistant than Ion-X glass.

All Apple Watch models are able to run the latest software (watchOS) version. You may find the following resources helpful when choosing an Apple Watch:

Apple doesn't use the term 7000 series to identify a watch. See: Identify your Apple Watch - Apple Support

According to the following, 7000 series is the aluminum alloy used in the Apple Watch Sport (I don't know if it is used in other models): https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-watch-buyers-guide-which-one-is-right-for- you/

Apple's model classifications do not include "Series 0".

If the box states "Apple Watch Sport" (and also mentions 7000 series aluminium), then it is an Apple Watch Sport, which is a "first generation" model.

I replied to Dntuck as he and Ginav68 didn't appear to understand your original post (even though it seemed very clear and factual). I was just trying to assure them that the box would detail the version of the watch.

With regard to the term Series 0, whilst it may not be official Apple classification, it is a widely used colloquialism (even on this site).

When discussing Apple Watch models, I suggest that colloquialisms are best avoided, as they can create confusion for buyers and/or sellers (whether of new or pre-owned models).

For example, colloquialisms will not match up to Apple's model identification resources. They may also adversely affect buyer or seller protection (eg on a site such as eBay), as a product description or discussion of a model may be deemed to have been insufficiently accurate and clear.

I don't think calling the original watch series 0 causes confusion. I think the problem was Apple naming later versions Series 1 and Series 2. I see lots of original watches for sale on web sites incorrectly labelled as Series 1. I don´t think all the advertisers are trying to mislead, I think they are confused as logically to them Series 1 would be the first. Any way we can agree to differ and I won´t use the term on this site again.

Oh go ahead and use it, I do and so do several others and none of them seem confused by it. The same problem exists for the iPhone, many people refer to the iPhone 3G as the first generation iPhone when it is actually the second. So many here refer to the first one as the 2G even though it was never called that.

This is a user-to-user technical support site and if the hosts have a problem with references to the "Series 0" they will delete it and send you an email telling you why.

Is the 7000 a series 1?

See my previous reply.

So you didn't really answer the question. If a person were to see the box for the watch and it says 7000 series Then it is impossible to identify the series?

The outer box will tell you if its Series 1 or 2. If its the original (Series 0, it will say Sport, no mention of Series).
