My wishes are more on the software side, I guess.
- ability to manage your watch backups
- better ability to dial in rest days into your activity rings
- cardio fitness readings (VO2max) for every workout not only for outdoor workouts
As for the watch itself I would love to see a size between 40 and 44.

- New design (a la iPhone 12)
- Reduced bezels even further (or a slightly bigger "Max" version)
- Better battery
- More frequent HR sampling and even more accurate sensors during activity
- Allow custom watch faces

Music library, I maxed it out. I store music on the watch so I can listen to it during my hike.
I only know of apps where you need to somehow enter what you eat and drink. The calorie intake monitoring is only as accurate as your discipline in properly entering the correct food and intake amount of everything you consume.
What I'm asking for is some kind of sensor that could monitor your intake automatically I guess? Have no idea whether this would even be possible. Maybe by monitoring sugar levels, or something? Like I said, not my area of expertise.
I have a Series 6 (GPS + Cellular) before that I had a series 3 from 2017. The one thing that would make me upgrade apple watches so soon again is blood pressure monitoring (which is actually one of the rumors for the Series 7).
Being able to control my iPad from Now Playing on the watch would be SUPER helpful for me.
I would like the Always On feature to work with all apps on the watch not just the watch face and Workouts.
And extra battery life, but a few of you have mentioned that already...

The biggest, hugest, most glaring weakness of this watch is battery life. It's in a weird place because it could do a marathon, with music, but it won't be able to do anything else unless you are very fast. However, it won't do an all-day hike or bike ride. Battery life needs to, at least, double.
That would also extend the device life because it would require fewer charges, which is precisely why it's probably never going to happen.

No issue with the battery life as it is. It gets through the day with plenty to spare.
Id like it to have more work out types.
Better accuracy tracking your steps and movement.
Struggling to think of anything else I’d add.
