All Apple Watch Series 7 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display. This particular Apple Watch Series 7, a cellular capable model in the 41 mm size, features a 352x430 "Always-On Retina" LTPO OLED screen either with Ion-X glass packed in an aluminum case or sapphire crystal glass packed in a stainless steel case as well as a ceramic and sapphire crystal back that connects to the charger.
Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall, but more specifically "up to 1.5 hours" of talk time connected to an iPhone (or LTE), "up to 11 hours" of audio playback from Apple Watch storage, "up to 11 hours" working out indoors and "up to 7 hours" working out outdoors with GPS, and "up to" 6 hours working out outdoors with GPS and LTE.
There were at least eleven options offered by Apple Authorized Resellers -- Green Aluminum with a "Clover" Sport Band (pictured, left), a warm gray "Starlight" Aluminum with a "Starlight" Sport Band, "Midnight" Aluminum with a "Midnight" Sport Band, Blue Aluminum with an "Abyss" Blue Sport Band, (PRODUCT) Red Aluminum with a Red Sport Band, Gold Stainless Steel with a Dark Cherry Sport Band, Gold Stainless Steel with a Gold Milanese Loop, Silver Stainless Steel with a warm gray "Starlight" Sport Band, Silver Stainless Steel with a Silver Milanese Loop (pictured, right), Graphite Stainless Steel with an Abyss Blue Sport Loop, and Graphite Stainless Steel with a Graphite Milanese Loop.
