For those who appreciate the convenience of going for a run or completing errands without having to carry their phone, the Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) is currently available for only $249.99 on Woot. This represents a fantastic savings of $500 off the original retail price of $749, but be aware that this offer is valid for just two days or until stock runs out.

Amazon Prime members will enjoy complimentary standard shipping, while others will incur a $6 shipping fee. Note that Woot does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, PO boxes, or APO addresses.

You might be curious about the advantages of the cellular variant over the standard GPS model. The primary benefit is independence from your iPhone; with the cellular model, you can receive calls, send messages, listen to Apple Music, and make payments with Apple Pay without needing your phone close by. This capability is especially beneficial for those who prefer to exercise without their phone or want to set it aside while at the gym.

The Apple Watch Series 7 was recognized as the “Best Smartwatch of 2021” in a review by PCMag, receiving the Editor’s Choice award following its launch. This accolade was largely due to its expansive display, which accommodates larger buttons, a complete QWERTY keyboard for messaging, and a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, its fast charging feature allows it to reach 80% battery life in around 45 minutes—a useful trait for those who utilize sleep tracking and prefer not to remove their watch frequently. While the Series 10 is now available, the Series 7 remains a robust choice if cutting-edge technology isn’t a priority.

This model boasts an IP6X rating for dust resistance and a WR50 rating for water resistance, allowing for safe use during outdoor activities and up to 50 meters of immersion, making it suitable for showering or poolside wear. Plus, it includes a limited one-year hardware warranty for added peace of mind.

Like other models in the Apple Watch series, the Series 7 offers a comprehensive suite of health monitoring tools, including heart rate analysis, ECG functionality, blood oxygen monitoring, an always-on altimeter, and sleep tracking. It also prioritizes your safety by alerting you to high noise levels or unusual heart rhythms and incorporates fall detection, which can automatically call for help in the event of a severe fall if the wearer doesn’t respond. However, be prepared to charge it regularly, as it has a battery life of approximately 18 hours. For those needing extended battery life, the Ultra models present a better option, albeit at a significantly higher price point.
