Hi


All models of Apple Watch are compatible with iPhone 7.


Some differences that you may find it helpful to note include:


  • Apple Watch (1st generation) models have a single core processor.
  • Newer models - in the Series 1 and Series 2 ranges, released in September 2016 - 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.
