Upgraded from 3 to 6 last year, see no reason for another upgrade for the next 2-3 years.

Apple Discontinues Apple Watch Series 6 as Series 7 Pre-Orders Begin

The real question is: where can I get an Apple Watch 6 for over $100 off?
No interest in paying full price for an Apple Watch 6.07

The Series 7 is Apple's most high-end Apple Watch model, featuring advanced health features and display technology.
I think the article is highly misleading in that regard – what actual "advanced health features" compared to the Series 6 does the 7 have? I would upgrade, if it did, but they didn't announce any feature that would not becoming to other Series' via a software update.
Anyone else getting 'delivery currently unavailable' while checking out? If the first or second batch is sold out, wouldn't they just push the delivery dates back? This is for 44mm, Stainless, Graphite, Solo Loop.
The fact that the series 3 is still being sold and the series 6 took the axe is baffling to me....
Can’t believe they’re not selling a space grey aluminium watch this year. It’s literally stopping me from buying one, I’ll stick to my S4 for now
It’s a relatively minor upgrade, has some other tweaks like fast charging too, for the same price. It’s not super exciting but I’m not sure how it’s a scam? And no one is forcing you to buy an AW 7…
The AW isn't much of a traditional watch that you're falsely making an equivalence to, is it?
It's more like a mini computer that you wear on your wrist, which also shows the time
The Watch is quite mature now and we should also expect less improvements year-on-year going forward tbh.
Low hanging fruits remaining are battery life and various health sensors. The latter is not too enticing for many users, hence the SE being introduced.

To discontinue the 6 only makes sense...push people to the 7. To continue offering the series 3 is just dumb. If you want to offer a low price point item, make it the 4 or 5.
What I'd like to see is some clearance sales on the s6
That's the play here

I agree, both the iPhone and Watch are mature pieces of technology now. My series 6’s battery life is amazing, I can easily get two days of use out of it.
The big improvements will be health sensors like you say. I just have pretty big reservations regarding their efficacy and reliability, as my watches O2 sensor is really more of a gimmick than a reliable sensor.
The health sensors are more like bonus features to me. And I presume many think the same, which is why Apple introduced the SE, focusing on "core" smartwatch features.
There goes my idea on getting a reduced price Series 6 with the new 7 out.
Seems like a large enough gap between the 7 and the SE where the 6 could have existed.

Poor triggered jealous people who click the disagree button like it means anything to anyone.
exactly. Why not advance it to a 4? It seems if the AW3 is their way of getting people to enter the ecosystem, it's only going to lead to hurt feelings a year or so from now. But then again, I work where I do and not in the strategy dept at Apple.
I have a series 6 and will skip this upgrade - No offense to those that decide to buy, but just not worth the cost and trade in value for me this year.
Yeah .. I guess I was being too sarcastic - but that always doesn't come across in a forum like this - I'm sure the upgrade is worth it for a lot of folks that need the Series 7.
I know - As stated I'm not buying the series 7 - Happy upgrade day to all of you that did buy the 7.
