Buy AW6 or wait?

I would if it’s not that long til it’s out. Will give you more time with it too. It’s not fun when you buy a new device and then a few months later a new one comes out
I would wait until after the keynote. You might like the S7 and if you don’t, then you can pick up a S6 at a discount.
100% agree. We’re a few weeks away from Apple event (likely in September), at this point waiting is worth, either if you get the S7 or a previous gen with a decent discount
I'm all about getting shiny new gadgets but at this point I would wait to see what the newest one offers. If it doesn't float your boat then you'll be able to score a nice deal on an older model.
For what it's worth, there are a couple retailers here in the U.S. (namely B&H) that are offering discounts on most S6 models. But definitely agree to wait until after the S7 is announced/released as you'll see deeper discounts on the S6 series if you want to save some money and don't want to go with the S7.
Got my S6 Red 40mm from Amazon US for $264 two weeks’ back (Discounted to $279 and “special deal” (“tick the box” additional $15 off). Loving it. So, if you find a great deal you may want to jump on it now but only if you won‘t regret whatever the S7 offers…
Definitely wait – you're only a few weeks away from seeing what the S7 has to offer and if you'd prefer that, plus you'll save a few more bucks due to more and more sales and lower prices after S7 details are made public.
