Yes, those where great deals on Prime day. 45mm aluminums GPS only for $309 as I recall.So glad I pulled the trigger on a cheap 7 on Prime day and didn't wait for the 8. They are so similar that they may as well just have skipped the 8 this year.

Agreed. I think the ultra is geared towards the world athletes and true back country explorers. Me a city dweller / suburbs will not find the extra features "useful".My wife will be happy -- she won't have to hear me moan about wanting to upgrade my S7. And the Ultra, while kind of cool, is not for me.
A jump from an S5, S6, or S7 is almost nothing. Health features are similar. Chip speed is similar (they’re all massaged version of the same chip).I’ve got an S5 so a jump to the S8 will be fairly big but if I was on S7 it would be a touch call. Unless they start to add new features that are S8 only from the sensors. Wonder if devs can access them and make use of them in apps.

Save your money. Wait for something that’s truly, honestly better than this.
If you’re having battery issues, perhaps there’s a reset or setting you can do to improve it.
I’m on a 5 year old S3, and can still survive 1.5-2 days. I don’t even charge overnight. Mostly short top-ups here and there.
I have a series 4 and am also looking at upgrading but not sure on the s7 or s8. I prefer the silver rather than the starlight aluminium and the 7 only doesn't have the silverI’ve got an S5 so a jump to the S8 will be fairly big but if I was on S7 it would be a touch call.

Because the changes are so minuscule in the watch line that being able to compare points out the lack of need to upgradeHow come Apple doesnt allow you to select product for comparison?
I want to compare 7 to 8 but there is no option to change these comparisons to see side by seide![]()

I think like with the iPhones, that is kind of the point isn't it? This update should be for people on older watches and not on a Series 7... I have a Series 7 and the new software is amazing, but the Series 8 doen't realle warrent my money at allSeries 7 was an unexpectedly big upgrade given the size of the watch. Series 8 is a very small upgrade from Series 7, maybe one of the most incremental. Still a good buy for those on older models. I’m very happy with my green AW7, not a very common model in the world of apple watches
Both those are coming to older watches. International roaming will come to Series 5 and up and low power mode to Series 4 and up with updates in WatchOS 9.Plus;
New Low Power Mode can give you up to 36 hours of battery life, and it also has international coverage.
I'm not sure the 5 has the specific hardware, 6 upwards I think?International roaming will come to Series 5...
Woke up this morning still gutted about the 8, I guess I will try to pick up a cheap 7 or replace the battery in my 5 see how the new software is on it and go another year.
There are a ton of new Training features in watchOS 9 and everyone with a Series 6 and up gets them. Even the Series 4 & 5 gets a lot of new training stuff. Series 4 and up also gets the new Low Power Mode and the Nike faces.Are there any new trainingfeatures in Apple watch 8 or Ultra? Or is it only in the new software OS 9?
I really wish my series 4 was still living. I learned it was the last space black color…
Ordered from Apple a refurbished series 7 graphite and silver (unsure which one I want). Anyone with S4 or up really don’t have a lot of reasons to upgrade for, I think.
Still can’t decide which to get. I have the 6 but battery is the problem. I want the bigger screen and fast charging so getting a new battery is not an option.
S7 SS on Amazon for 640€
S8 SS 950€
I don’t know what Apple will do with the temperature sensor in the future. Maybe they add stuff so you can indicate if you get sick? Idk
Car crash is nice bc my car doesn’t have that but really 300€ for that?
I‘ve read the S8 has a different processor ?
Ultra would be nice as an active person (8-10h hikes are not unusual and too much for the S6) but too large
Only for you so you don't make sexist comments like that anymore.Is it true that the extra button on the Ultra can perform a vasectomy? You know, for equality.
