Apple Watch Series 7 pre-orders start Friday, but it's gonna be hard for you to get one. 👀I'm told that mass production began just under a month ago, so stock is very limited.If you want the new Apple Watch, be up bright and early on Friday.

Earlier today, Apple announced that preorders for the Apple Watch Series 7 will go live on Friday, October 8 at 5:00 p.m. PDT. The new watch will officially release a week later on Friday, October 15.

The new generation of Apple Watch features a larger and brighter screen, thinner bezels, faster charging, dust protection, and a more durable display.
