My biggest takeaway was no new classy looking watch faces...unless you fork out big $ for an Hermes model.
Come on, give us something other than Meridian.

It was shown in the video. Looked like a new Nike band and watch face as well. Bounce I think it was called.
The real question is will the Nike version drop later as it always does or since the general release seems to be delayed, will the Nike version will release at the same time?
Wow literally all the leaks were wrong as far as the look goes. Since I got the Series 6 six months ago I am pretty happy.
I guess kinda like auto companies who tout some amazing looking 'concept' car in Auto Shows and then ship some lame ass box-on-wheels when it comes to production time.
Given how accurate the leaks were for other products, I have no doubt that production delays resulted in Apple using the current case. If you are able to tell that the Face ID component is smaller, the diagonal orientation of cameras, 128 GB starting storage… then you would expect to at least know the general shape of an Apple watch. Basically, the flat design will be coming next year along with the temperature sensor.
That's the only explanation as to why it's going to take until Fall to get a slightly larger screen into the same chassis with no other update to the device.
So disappointed there's no temperature sensor. I'd probably rarely use it, but it was an expectation I had.
Very disappointed that there’s no glucose monitoring. Pass. Aside from the screen redesign it’s basically a 6 feature wise.
Apple today announced the Apple Watch Series 7 at its "California Streaming" event, featuring a new larger design, a new Retina display, thinner borders, better durability, faster charging, and more.
The Series 7 comes in 41mm and 45mm size options, up from 40 and 44mm of previous models, and features a new casing that has a softer-edged design.
The new Apple Watch is available in five aluminum colors including midnight, starlight, green, blue, and red. Stainless steel models are available in silver, graphite, and titanium is also available in multiple colors. Apple Watch Series 7 is also compatible with existing watch bands.
Apple Watch Series 7 prices start from $399 and will be available later this fall.

Forget the design what happened to the battery life claims? It seems to me it’s the same as last year?
It seems all Apple events , so far, have been, just painfully boring. Everything in the Apple language is magical, beautiful, extraordinary, remarkable, best in class, all the adjectives , you name it , it's there.
The new watch is ok , nothing extraordinary , no new remarkable feature . But at least, give us some new elegant watch faces other the stupidly pricy Hermes .

Is it the same chassis though? I thought they said it was more rounded.
If so, then they must have had to have a new die made.
They’re not though. The case is bigger.
Besides, these designs are almost fully locked in years in advance. They can’t just decide a month from release to use a different case because there’s a few supply snags lmao.
This is what I was wondering too. They usually tout the processor, but there's no mention of a "S7 SiP"... Is this watch retaining the S6 SiP from the previous model?
I'm on my 4 year track record of not updating from my AW3.
No new sensors, still offering AW3, that seals the deal I'm staying on AW3.
I thought exactly the same. Shame on them.Now we know why Apple recently kept banning and causing senseless release issues with that keyboard app.
Look Ma, now the Apple watch suddenly supports flicks...
Anti-competition at its finest.

Agreed. I am still rocking a series 4 was ready to go with a 6 can’t find a titanium or Hermes and now have to wait longer.
