I strongly believe that the redesign is still coming, it was just delayed due to the reported production issues with its radical new design so they decided to backtrack and go with what we saw today instead of skipping over the watch this year.
Got a tip for us?

If the battery was better on my series 5, I’d be less inclined to even consider the series 7. I was REALLY hoping for better battery life and a redesign if there weren’t any health sensor additions.
I MIGHT consider it, but it’s a big maybe. I was positive I’d be ordering one until today. Very very underwhelming.

It depends on the person and his or her needs and wants. If there had been new worthwhile sensors that would be beneficial to overall health and my running, I would have upgraded after a year.
who thinks like me? apple watch 7 is actually a joke...

With a Series 6 you’re not really supposed to. My Series 4 on the other hand, is ready for a swap
This is quite frustrating as the black aluminium option really was the best looking out of all the aluminium options imo. I have a SS one just now but only as I got a good deal on it. I did love my Alu S4, it looked so good with every band.
For one thing, it's not called an iwatch
Not really supposed to? Where did you get that bull? There is no such rule.
I’ve always used background images that were black or faded to black so I never noticed where the edge stops on any of my watches
was expecting to upgrade this year.. but looks like i can keep the S4 for another year. None of the changes from s5-s7 are worth enough to upgrade. (For me)
Bigger screen looks a bit better, but i never look at the screen for a long time.. it’s mostly short glances.

Is it just me or does it look like there is a Midnight Green aluminum model pictured here in the article?
Ok that side by side really shows off the the larger screen size. I was not impressed when I watched the keynote but I’m starting to reconsider now.
your right. but sadly that changes nothing
Perhaps Apple could have bypassed the need for articles like this one by doing what the rest of the watch industry does and stating the size of the bands rather than the size of the watch they think it will be attached too.
Or perhaps they had too much courage to do that.

Same story here. My silver link bracelet that I totally splurged on in 2015 is still going strong with my Gen 4 and will continue to serve me well when I order this Gen 7. Super durable strap. Any time the scratches get to be too much, I just clean it in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner then refinish it with a green Scotch Brite pad and it looks like the day I bought it from the Apple Store.
Does anyone hold this rumor industrial complex accountable? AppleTrack used to but they haven’t been active it seems since December 2020.
EDIT: Oh they seem to be working on updating the Leaderboard

It's pretty funny that the rumor mill was consistently backing the idea of a flat-sided watch design, but Apple had the last laugh as they went more rounded than the prior model, not less. Also, I seriously doubt it was a late change due to production issues. A design change that huge just doesn't seem like a plausible production tweak so late in the game.
Honestly I think Apple was wise to stick with a rounded look. I think it's nicer on the wrist and probably more comfortable.

it was never gone ... S6 did come in SS, simply stock shortage for some (short) time
S6 was offered in silver, gold, and graphite stainless. same as S7. you might be talking about space black?
