Hey friends, Andrew here. Hope you're well! So, we have a couple more deliveries today from Apple
and it's actually a week delayed it's the first time i've run into issues with apple
losing packages but i feel like that's a story for another time anyway i'm pretty excited about
this particular unboxing today because we have the apple watch seven among a few other things in here
uh that i'm gonna unbox and i've never previously owned an apple watch let's unbox this together
and i'll give you my first impressions as a first time owner and i also actually
purchased the apple watch se at the same time not just to compare with the series 7 but even
better i'll be giving this one away to a lucky subscriber i'll give you more details on how
to enter to snag this bad boy at the end of this video but first let's unbox this together okay so
we first have this box here and then we have the one in the background so we have two boxes two
watches to unbox today but first let me take off this watch here so a few of you have recognized
this particular hamilton pilot pioneer watch from the previous unboxing it's awesome to see other
horology and watch fans in this community but yeah like i said i was super wary of replacing
mechanical watches with yet another screen and device i have to constantly charge my life but
i guess we'll see how the apple watch fits into my life so let's get into this one here
right now what i'm opening up right here is the 41 millimeter variant of the apple watch
in the midnight aluminium case on a nike sports loop so this actually was not my first choice
my first choice was the braided solo loop standard apple watch because everything basically sold
out within minutes on a launch day looking at the packaging right now we've obviously got the black
nike packaging which is unique to this specific setup i think it looks really nice the uh the
packaging looks pretty nice again this is my first time unboxing an apple watch so let's open
it up i must say i love apple packaging it's very minimal yet uh always pleasant to unbox
and this looks really nice very colorful you've got that nike apple watch 7 face right there
and a really nice small box overall so that's the first box and then we also have of course
the nike sport loop the band which is all in black hopefully this is a good match with the midnight
case because i've heard there's a tinge of blue not sure yet on the case but i guess we'll see so
maybe the first thing we'll unpackage right now is the sport loop so like i said i was actually
really keen on getting the charcoal braided loop but it literally sold out within minutes and
then i found out that they did not restock and in fact they removed the charcoal braided loop
completely from the apple store so i assumed i discontinued it and then i actually uh
read on reddit as well that they have indeed discontinued it which is a bit strange because
it's such an easy color to pair up but for whatever whatever reason they've discontinued it
which is a bit of a bummer but uh yeah if you have any suggestions for good daily strap that looks
good with most outfits please let me know down in the comments below all right so i guess you've got
manuals for the actual strap itself um and then here is the strap box so let's open this up
so this actually looks pretty nice um you've got the niko branding on this watch strap and then
actually feels pretty good so i believe it's made out of nylon weave and it's pretty flexible
feels good it's hook and loop so pretty easy to put onto the wrist i assume
and of course it's pretty breathable and allows for moisture to escape so yeah pretty keen to try
this one out but i don't think it will be my daily wear though moving on to the watch itself really
keen to open this up i'm also very randomly a fan of these pool tabs so satisfying to open up maybe
it's just me i don't know but um if you're coming from the watch 6 5 evens 4 i don't know if this is
a big enough upgrade to justify upgrading to the watch seven apparently the watch screen is far
nicer and of course you have that redesigned front crystal that's more robust and crack resistant
and it's now apparently ip6x dust resistant which i believe helps with places like beach and deserts
so in this box here you get of course the charger the manuals and then the watch itself so i believe
with this new watch 7 you have faster charging so you get eight hours of sleep tracking on just an
eight minute charge from what i read and yeah looking at this here 41 millimeters relatively
small um but yeah this screen looks pretty nice it is so you have the refracted edges
the back looks really nice too i am a fan of the design so far uh really sleek looking
and you can see i guess the refracted edges here almost looks borderless but then again
this screen obviously is not on so i guess we'll see when we turn this on but yeah overall
nice package it looks pretty good let's move on and actually put this onto the strap
one thing that i really appreciate about the apple watch is it's fast interchangeable straps so with
normal watches you know you need watch tools and also that spring bar
with most watches is so annoying it goes it springs everywhere essentially when you try to
change the straps so quick interchangeable straps are really appreciated here let me
try get this on now not sure how this works if you pop it in or like you slide it in
i'm assuming you slide it in this is this is harder than i thought
okay that kind of took me longer than expected kind of ironic given that i was talking about
how easy these straps are but we finally got their fam so putting this on it feels really
good i think it looks great i can definitely see why you'd want to work out with this strap
i think it's really comfortable it feels good also the watch size i think also suits it looks great
it looks basically about the same as the 40 millimeters that i've tried in store but
we will compare shortly with the apple watch se but yeah overall first impressions
it looks good it feels great something i definitely wear out to the gym or on runs
probably wouldn't wear this out though uh you know on an evening night out but uh who knows
it might look great on a different strap on this strap though i'd argue that uh probably
wouldn't wear this out by the way for those who are concerned with the midnight color i don't
really see that blue tinge under this lighting condition anyway it looks pretty black to me and
i like that personally but just something to note i guess if you're looking at this specific color
overall the display looks really nice i obviously haven't set it up yet
but yeah the the form factor and the color looks extremely nice the refracted edging the curvature
looks extremely pleasing i know a lot of people were looking forward to the new redesign this
uh the boxy redesign but um given this like my first apple watch i think it looks great
so let's move on now and unbox the apple watch se together and take a quick look at the comparison
between the two so this one that i have here this one is the 40 millimeter with the silver aluminium
case and the midnight sport band so let's see how this stacks up with the watch seven um you
know i hear that the watch se is great for those looking for an apple watch on a budget
you know not no major major differences i guess like one of the major differences
is that you don't get the always on watch face which is a nice to have but uh yeah the bigger
biggest difference other than that is that ultra thin border display on the new watch seven
seven which is apparently 20 bigger from series 6 and the series s e
the predominant changes are really all around the watch face it's also 20 brighter than the
apple watch se let's open this up with the pull tabs again gotta love those pull tabs
so satisfying oh yeah and i haven't yet mentioned anything about the price but these two are very
similar in price so it's 279 usd for this apple watch se and 399 usd for the watch 7. looking
at the back as well the led light source there's only a single led light source in comparison to
the watch 7 which has multiple and i believe that gives it gives the watch 7 the benefit of ecg the
electrocardiogram and also monitoring blood oxygen levels which isn't available on the watch se
in hand these two feel very similar in size and looking at it right now
they look very similar in size you cannot see that one millimeter difference and in fact
actually the aluminium bezel on this one here i feel like gives it a larger presence whereas
the midnight aluminium on the watch 7 seems a little smaller just because it's all in black
so let's take a look at the watch strap now and this one's the midnight strap and this
is just the standard strap and not the nike watch strap so let's open this up
so the midnight color on these straps are much more prominent you can really see that blue
here unlike the midnight aluminium on the watch 7. i've never been a big fan of the sport band i feel
like it looks a little chunky very fitbit-esque let's hopefully let's hope that i can put this on
right there we go all right so i've learnt from the previous watch these are actually relatively
simple to put on i'm just a bit of a dumbo here there we go all right so overall looks really nice
looks clean i like the aluminium bezel i think it looks gives a bit of charm i think a bit of wrist
presence and uh overall not too shabby i mean again not the biggest fan of this watch strap but
stacking these two together i think even without the watches turned on you can see the refracted
edging it's a bit more curved i think it's a bit more refined could also be the fact that
i have it in all black in comparison to aluminium but um they look really similar similar honestly
i can't see a major difference and in fact if i'd say even if you're on a budget i'd honestly go
for the watch se simply you know we're just simply talking about right now about design so if you're
if we're talking about design and aesthetics looks very similar so you can see the difference
in the watch back and like i said earlier this gives this is the difference between getting the
getting access to the blood oxygen levels and ecg reader so very keen to be trying out the watch 7
throughout the week this week as with the watch se i'll be putting this one back into the box because
i'll be giving it away so more details on that in just a moment but yeah first impressions is this
is a really nice watch it looks sleek whether or not it adds value to my life is a different
