When Apple announced the new Apple Watch Series 7 last month alongside the updated iPad Mini and iPhone 13 range, they flagged a wide window for availability – “fall” as they call it.

Fall is Autumn in the USA, our Springtime, so in reality, the Apple Watch Series 7 could be coming between now and the end of November.

However, the Apple website now lists this Friday as the date you can place your order for an all-new Apple Watch Series 7, with other reports stating the watch will then be on-sale and available from the following Friday the 15th.

A larger screen and new features make this a decent leap forward in design and specs for the Apple Watch, so the demand from owners of older watches should be strong.

Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $599, Apple Watch SE starts at $429, and Apple Watch Series 3 starts at $299.

Orders start Friday at Apple.com.au
