Apple Watch Series 7 41mm GPS Smartwatch
The Series 7 is Apple’s flagship smartwatch and is a PCMag Editors’ Choice pick. The lightning-fast recharge rate supports up to 18 hours of battery life, depending on how heavily you use your smartwatch’s many intelligent features such as GPS, calls, texts, and fall detection. It's currently just $1 more than it was on Prime Day (depending on the color you choose), so if you missed out then, don’t hesitate to hit “buy now” this time around.
