You'll want to keep that Apple Watch Series 7 screen pristine, and a good screen protector is a great way to go. Comparing the Apple Watch Series 7 to the Apple Watch Series 6, it does have a larger screen, so your old screen protectors won't work. However, the Apple Watch 8 is the same size, so screen protectors for either will work. The Apple Watch Ultra is different, and we have a special section for that included here.
Each of the options below comes in both the 41mm and 45mm sizes unless otherwise noted. Here are some of the best screen protectors for the Apple Watch Series 7.
