Apple Watch Series 7 Reviews: Larger Displays and Faster Charging, Not Much Else Has Changed

Which universal chargers do well with the sensor hump on the bottom of the watch?
Where have you seen it written that those won't charge Series7 just as fast as they charged the Series6?
I'll wait til current S5 goes to crap. So far it still does the job. Unless there's a game changing upgrade (which hasn't happened for me), then it really doesn't matter too much. The biggest change was from s3 to s4 IMO and still didn't pull trigger on S4. But since i went from 0-s5, I'm probably good til s9 or 10. I only care about notifications anyways. In general I don't get too excited about upgrading watches.
Leaning towards keeping my Series 4 for another year. Other than the always-on screen (which I’ve already passed up for years) and maybe that new dark green color, there’s nothing really compelling to me personally. Then again, I’m not a watch power-user. Series 1 was great for me. Series 4 has also been great. Based on how long these things have been lasting me, I may consider going SS or Ti next time (only have had aluminum models so far).
agree, for me, having had a S4 for 3+ years, the screen looks quite nice ... I will wait tile they are available in stores, take a look at them at that point and then decide on whether or not to upgrade
Complaining about something/anything gives some people a little jolt of feel-good power and helps get them through the day.
The iPhone 13 Pro is far from the bare minimum, as proven by its battery life.
The Apple Watch, on the other hand...
I don’t use the sleeping functionality, but I find the alarm on my wrist to be fantastic to wake up to in the morning (and not bother anyone else in the house with an actual alarm). Most days I can just charge while shaving/showering, but every once in a while 15 min on the charger before bed is needed. All other times it’s on my wrist.
I may consider the SE next time if it has AOD as I really only use that, alarm, timer (love the multiple timers now), stopwatch, and notifications. I don’t do anything else with it (on S6 from S2). Hopefully I can keep this one for 4 years.
I have the 5.
The doesn't really do much for you as a sleep tracker, it won't tell you anything like if you got good quality of sleep by monitoring your heart rate, number of times you woke up etc. So I stopped wearing it to sleep and put it on the charger. This has the benefit that it will use Optimized Charging to keep the battery in good shape.

God I hope not. I have never been on a FaceTime call or zoom. Never will either
Only A guess here, but I suspect Apple backed out of the flat edge redesign “last minute” over some production issue. I will not be surprised to see bigger changes and more new features with series 8.
While I see what your saying and the extra life is appreciated but Just adding a bigger battery is kind of a so so upgrade. My 11PM lasts all day on a charge. So for me it’s a nothing upgrade.
With the caveat that I haven't yet seen a Series 7 in person, this seems like such an iterative update over the Series 6 that a useful question for those considering a purchase is whether they would have been inclined to upgrade to a Series 6 this year had there been no update at all. If the answer to that question is no, it's highly likely that any upgrade urge at this point is the result of Apple's marketing and general perceived "newness."
I’m 51. Work in a hospital. Worked the last 2 years harder than ever. 6 days a week. Never had to participate in a zoom meeting. I answer the phone. That’s enough. I know what they look like dot need to see them unless it’s in person.
I could never handle doing zoom calls.
I opened ft when it came out once and a few rare time when My dad will ft me and I won’t turn on video.
im not a outgoing person. Tend to keep to myself. Prefer my cats to other people.
Okay, but most companies are working that way now, with the hybrid environment becoming larger.
