The Apple Watch uses watchOS, Apple's own operating system that's been around since the original Apple Watch launched in 2015, which remains, bar some updates, very similar visually. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Apple Watch use two totally different operating systems. The Apple Watch 7, therefore, with its extra physical method of interacting and nicer screen to use is, to us, the winner of the screen and usability section. It's a fantastic way of interacting with the watch, letting you swipe through app screens and watch faces without having to put your greasy, sweaty exercise fingers on your screen. One of the best features of the Apple Watch is the digital crown on the side. We have yet to compare them side by side, but the Apple Watch's screen certainly feels and looks more premium when viewed in a vacuum. Swiping around the Apple Watch feels more natural and easier, as well as bringing Apple's bright always-on retina display to your wrist. Apps look and feel better to use, and the tiny little app icons in the app drawer are easier to hit.

For one, it's a more conventional squared-off shape, and although it has rounded corners, it feels like there's more usable screen real estate on offer. The Apple Watch wins in the screen department.

While we'd still say the Apple Watch is more feature-packed and nicer to use, the Galaxy Watch is more closely related to the Android system, bringing more ways to interact with your watch with an Android handset. For Android users, the picture becomes a little fuzzier. Honestly, though, it really comes down to which platform your phone runs on - for iPhone users, the Apple Watch is the clear winner - while the Samsung offering won't work with your iPhone. At the moment, we think it still beats out the Galaxy Watch offering in a few key areas, but it's closer than ever. The Series 7 was a marginal update over the Series 6, bringing some extra screen space and a brighter always-on display.
