Design-wise, the Apple Watch Series 7's rounded edges create a seamless blending of screen and watch for a sleek look. Apple engineers increased the overall size of the smartwatch to accommodate the larger display. And for maximum durability, the front crystal is stronger and more crack-resistant than the Watch Series 6. Swim-proof up to 50 meters and IP6X dust resistant, the Apple Watch Series 7 allows for worry-free everyday wear. 

The Apple Watch Series 7 is a solid buy if you want to add a new smartwatch to your gadget collection. Amazon didn't put an expiration date on this deal, so we recommend you act now to lock in this stellar deal price.
