Apple unveiled the Watch Series 7 a month ago along with the iPhone 13 series mobiles. Though the mobiles made their way to the stores in September fourth week, the smart wearable, for reasons unknown, was not made avaialable until now.
Now, Apple Watch Series 7 is finally available for purchase in India with prices starting at Rs 41,900. However, with the HDFC cards, prospective customers can claim up to Rs 3,000, which effectively brings the price down to Rs 38,900. Also, official retail sellers are offering additional discounts through lucrative exchange offers in select stores in India.
Apple Watch Series 7 comes in three variants-- aluminium, stainless steel, and titanium.
Aluminium models come with 100 per cent recycled metal cases, making them the most environment-friendly smart wearable to date.
