Apple Watch Series 7 Pre-Orders to Start This Friday, Available on October 15

[Flood4]

I’d agree but my 5 barely lasts the day. I do wonder whether to just jump for a 6 this year on the cheaper side once this comes out.

What? My 3 could almost last 2 days, (ok let say 1.5 day)

 

[EvilEvil]

I don't think these will sell out. I already have the 6. I won't be upgrading my Apple Watch at least until the 10 comes out.

New design, new chip, new sensors!!!

oh, wait….

--
EDIT: I see now that the Series 7 does indeed have a new chip, the "S7 chip," whereas the Series 6 Watch had an S6 chip. Macrumors' "should you upgrade?" article explains the difference:

"Apple says that both the S6 and S7 chip provide a 20 percent performance improvement over the S5 chip in the Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch SE, indicating that they have equivalent performance."

I'm on a Series 4 so I'm tempted to get a 7 even though it's not much of a upgrade from a 6. Doesn't look like we can save our favourite yet like we could with the iPhone. I wonder if we will be able to as we need to build the watch and that's a bit of a faff.

Looks like AW6 with discount is much better deal.

 

[OldRhodie]

I’ll almost certainly upgrade to a 7 from my 6, but I’m like that😂

Almost certainly but … it’s not a 7.

What time is preorder eastern time ?

 

[ELman]

The Apple Watch 7 is claimed to be the most crack resistant ever. What about scratch resistance? No mention of that anywhere. I have a feeling you will need to upgrade to the watch with the sapphire screen to prevent a scratched face.

This seems like an underwhelming update. I have the Series 5 and it would take a lot for me to upgrade.

And you'll be right to feel that way. I'm replacing my S3 only because it's really corroded by now. If it's not terribly corroded I'll still hang on to it.

 

[Macalway]

Yes not a huge upgrade, but decent. Thing with me is 40mm isn't quite right when my previous 41mm was.
You would think '1mm?', but it's small, so yes I'll get one.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Yay! Can’t wait to place my order in. Who’s ready?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I wonder if the Apple Watch spec page is updated.

Me but what time preorder eastern time and apple store app not updated ?

 

[HeavenDynamic]

I wonder if the Apple Watch spec page is updated.

Nope.

 

[MacBird]

Looks like they haven't updated the Watch Studio yet. Are we supposed to discover the prices of the model that we went when ordering?

Probably similar as AW6, AW7 websites states:

• Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $399 (US), Apple Watch SE starts at $279 (US), and Apple Watch Series 3 starts at $199 (US).

 

[BigBlur]

For those that are upgrading from a 42mm watch - are you going smaller (but still getting a much larger display), or going larger?

I would assume at 8AM since it’s starting at 5AM, PST?

It depends the part of a watch you interact with most is the screen. I would rather pay the little extra and get a better screen.

Yeah, that's what I'll probably do for my wife's AW3, however I am not sure when it's the best time to buy.
AW6, Product red, with Cell goes at $359 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/New-Apple-Watch-GPS-40mm-Aluminum/dp/B08J5FXJN6/ref=sr_1_4

It’s not showing on apple store app yet apple has to update it

 

[Xtir]

Oh my god, it looks so good

yeah kinda like this..

 

[Macalway]

5am for their fellow Californians, and 8am for NY.

Funny.

 

[cardfan]

Definitely no interest for this. No new features. No faster chip. Worse battery. Sorry apple. There’s always next year.

Silver SS for me, upgrade from Silver SS S4
