Apple has discontinued the Watch Series 7, but you may still find new, unused models on sale if you’re lucky. If you can’t find anything using the links and advice below, then another option is to go for a refurbished one, so long as it’s cheaper than buying the latest Apple Watch.
Apple itself sells refurbished Watches , but you’ll generally find lower prices from other websites that specialise in refurbished wearables and phones.
If you’re searching for a Watch 7 deal because buying the latest model outright is too expensive, then you might consider getting one on contract.
Apple sells both cellular and non-cellular versions of its smartwatch, and although the cellular is more expensive, they become affordable when you can pay monthly for them over, typically, 24- or 36-months.

What were the Apple Watch 7’s new features?
The Series 7 has a slightly updated design compared to the Series 6 with more prominent rounding across its broader, thinner case sizes, which have changed from 40mm and 44mm to 41mm and 45mm, respectively.
This wider design facilitates a display that’s nearly 20 percent larger, with a 1.7mm bezel that’s 40 percent thinner than the Series 6’s. The cover crystal is 50 percent thicker (and thus more crack-resistant) and the Watch 7 also has an IP6X rating for resisting dust ingress.
Apple also added new watch faces that take advantage of the additional screen real estate, with elements that now reach the edge and actually appear to curve with the glass, while the other hardware upgrade include fast charging, that mean the battery fills up 33 percent quicker than before.
While the company didn’t explicitly specify during the watch’s unveiling, the Series 7 runs on similar hardware to its predecessor and has a similar array of sensors, too. They include blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring – one of the biggest additions to the Series 6 .
The Series 7 ran watchOS 8 out of the box, which added extra activity types – such as pilates – and has a few new features, such as fall detection when cycling. But you can now update it to watchOS 9 .
