Just ordered a used S7 45mm Alum ($250) to replace my AW3. The 3 works fine with 96% battery life left but thought it was a good time to upgrade. Not a heavy user but I wear it everyday. I saw most A7's were higher prices. I think this is because the 8 offers very little over the 7.

Just a PSA:). You can get all 45mm Stainless Steel options of the Series 7 (Silicone or Milanese, Graphite or Silver SS) new for $459 at Walmart (Shipped/sold by Walmart). Same 41mm options for $429.

I was impressed that yours was so high, so I checked my cellular AW3 - It still says 100%!
Mine was a late 2019 purchase, of a watch that was manufactured in late 2018 based on the serial number, so I'd say that's pretty good! These would probably last forever if the software support hadn't been dropped.

I tried the Ultra but in the end returned it, stayed with my SBTi series 7 which still looks like new with 100% battery capacity. Disappointed in Apple’s series 8 offering.
 
I went Series 8. If Apple ever makes an Ultra without the orange, I’ll go for it.
