It's not like your watch is going to stop working... What new feature in watchOS 9 are you wanting?
I'm on a s4 44mm and it's got a few scratches. I've been on the monthly apple care because I never remember to cancel it. Should I keep this one and replace the screen or look to picking up a s7 on a good deal? Wouldn't mind a slightly longer battery, quick charging, always on screen, and a bigger display. Are they faster too?
If you currently have a Series 3 and you want the temperature sensor, that would be a pretty good reason.
Hermes Circulaire always-on is pretty, and I can actually see my next calandar appointment without looking awkward.
Especially if S8 is being released real soon from announcement. Prevents having no-hassle upgrade returns that happen, and now they can probably only be used for refurb sales or warranties, versus sold wholesale to other retailers.
I upgraded to the S7 from the S5 and I thought it was a worthwhile transition. I don’t expect the Series 8 to be a world changer but I do think the new “Pro” version might be interesting. I won’t be buying one, though, as I can’t see myself spending ~$1,000 on what is basically an accessory to the iPhone.
Meh. I have a Series 4 that I don’t wear often anymore. It’s going to be the last Apple Watch I purchased.. don’t see the point in the watch honestly. Just double notifications.
my main point of use is silent vibrations on my wrist for notifications. I hate hearing phones ring or rattle on desks at work and no one knows I'm getting notifications but me
World Time. It's one of the new faces that came out last year in watchOS 8.
Apple Watch faces and their features
Your Apple Watch comes with a variety of watch faces, most of which you can customize.
I did for a while. Then I found the a cellular nike series 7 with applecare for $248 on swappa. Sold my series 6 for 218. The $30+tax and paypal selling fees has been completely worth it.
The same people saying there is no difference between the older models and the 7 are acting like the 47mm Pro will be a gigantic monstrosity. They will tell you with a straight face there is no noticeable difference between 42mm and 45mm but now going from 45mm to 47mm is going to be comically large.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s garbage, but it is kind of a “meh” for me. I went from an S4 to a closeout S5 when the S4 started being unreliable on runs (shutting down during runs) and then S7. I tried the AOD but ended up turning it off. All watches since my S0 have had the display on when I’m looking at them, and I really don’t care if it’s on when I’m not. The new S5 feature I did appreciate was the compass. I‘m not good with directions, and when viewing the map on the S4 it always took me a while to figure out which direction I was going in areas I wasn’t familiar with.
You mean Apple Watch X!I have yet to buy an Apple WatchI always said I will wait until the Apple Watch 10 comes out and then I’ll buy. Couple more years I’m there.
Thank you sir.World Time. It's one of the new faces that came out last year in watchOS 8.

honestly id take it to mean the opposite.
Normally apple keeps a lower model as the 'budget' buy. so S3 for a long time.
If 8 was a big upgrade on 7 I could see them continuing to make 7 as the budget. However if 8 isnt a big upgrade then it doesnt make sense, why buy the 8? so lack of availability to me makes it seem like 8 wont be much better than 7 and so 7 is dropped.
I had the 4 and had no plans to upgrade to the 5... until they said it was going to have the AOD. Battery life was a little rough, but still, AOD for the watch is a must-have.
