First Apple Watch Series 7 Pre-Orders Begin Reaching Customers

The first pre-orders for Apple Watch Series 7 are coming into the hands of their owners.

Apple Watch Series 7 models will officially launch in stores and online on Friday, October 15. While most of us still have to wait for Friday, it is already that day in New Zealand and Australia. Customers in the country have started receiving delivery of their new Apple watches.

New Zealand currently has no Apple stores in the country, so all of its customers are receiving their Apple Watch Series 7 models through delivery. In Australia, however, Apple has a retail presence, so we should also expect to see photos of customers picking up their new Apple Watches at their local store.

Apple originally announced the Apple Watch Series 7 at its virtual event in September alongside the iPhone 13, the 6th-generation iPad mini, and the 9th-generation iPad. The new smartwatch features a larger screen, smaller bezels, faster charging, and a more durable finish. It also comes in a new range of colors.

The launch of the Apple Watch Series 7 is happening as many customers wait in anticipation of Apple’s next event in October, which will begin next Monday. That event is expected to include the introduction of the company’s long-awaited update to the MacBook Pro.
