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

happy AW day to all those ordering a watch that can't last 24 hours without charging and that will be obsolete in a few years.

The same kinds of things (in some ways) can be said of a lot of tech. If the Apple Watch doesn't make you happy, so what. It fills the needs of a lot of watch owners. And if the owners are happy, that is all that really matters.

You post wasn't nice. It intended as an insult to the watch buyers.

more specifically - the AW is the first major consumer watch that doesn't last days, if not weeks or months, on a charge. yeah yeah, a regular old timex watch can last years. but so many other smartwatch makers have figured out a way to get a charge to last SO much longer. apple's continued form over function just makes the AW unusable for me. go for a long run or bike ride and it's toast. have to charge it just to have it track your sleep - then wake up and charge it again to get through the day...? workout mid day and have to either bring a cord with or buy another cord to charge at work just to last rest of the day...? no, it's a lifestyle watch pretending to be a fitness watch and in either case fails a super basic battery life test that Garmin, coros, or any other number of manufacturers make. and since it has to sync to the phone and relies on consistent iPhone os and watch os updates to work becomes obsolete too soon. I got burned by an Apple Watch that couldn't last a 4 hour marathon after it was a year old...never again.

It sounds like you're looking at the wrong tech for your needs. The Apple Watch is a simple smartwatch + fitness tracker for many who work out more casually. It removes the need for a separate fitness tracker for many of us.
 
Smart to cut off the Series 6. After looking at the available color combinations for the series 7 I went looking for a series 6. I can for sure attest to the fact that the 6s are flat out gone.

I went in to the store in Munich today to have a look at the colours of the series 7 but they don’t have any and are still selling the 6. I wasn’t expecting that.

The stores start displaying products the same day they officially ship. The S7 should be there next Friday.

Apple has a few in the refurbished store and they are still widely available from 3rd parties such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
