After keeping us waiting for a while, the Apple Watch 7 may be released. And we got our first real glimpse of this wearable.

These images, posted on a now-deleted Facebook page for Apple Watch fans, appear to have been taken by an individual claiming to be testing the new Watch for the cell phone company Apple has already announced that the new Apple Watch's appearance, but seeing the first photos of the real thing is an exciting moment, especially now that the release date is said to be later this month.

Looking first at the Watch's display, we can see two major changes to the Apple Watch 7. First, the large, rounded new shape of the screen is quite noticeable, with icons and menu elements sloping gently away from the sides. This is quite different from the flat-sided watches Apple was rumored to be making, but still looks good; the 20% increase in size from the Apple Watch 6 display is hard to tell here, but the two watches are probably the same size, and Watch 7 has a thinner bezel Thanks to the smaller bezel, more pixels can fit in the frame.

Other things that can be seen on the screen are the new built-in keyboard. Apple has never included a full keyboard on a wearable device before, but this will be a welcome change. If typing on the tiny keyboard doesn't appeal to you, you have the option of reading text aloud or drawing text on the screen.

There are still a few new features that cannot be seen in this image. Inside, the Apple Watch 7 boasts higher IP6X dust protection and faster charging speeds with a new USB-C cable.

The only thing Apple currently says about the Apple Watch 7 release date is that it will be "later this fall." However, leaker Jon Prosser claims to have a more precise date, stating that pre-orders will begin soon and the official release will be "mid-October."
