I can't decide. I love the extra thin bezels, and that green is gorgeous.

Hey, AW6 users, are you upgrading to 7?

I’m still struggling to decide whether to upgrade from my 4 …I thought I would, but now I’m on the fence now
What possible reason is there to upgrade? Give some money to a homeless shelter, it will improve your apple watch experience by the same amount unless that single 1 mm is the sole reason you found the watch unusable.
Was seriously considering it when I saw the "renders" on line BUT after seeing the actual Apple Watch - not so sure. Have time to see since the pre-orders are happening for a while.
I’m in the same boat. Unless the battery degrades even more on my S4, I’m waiting until next year. I have a few scratches on the screen, so I just bought a screen protector to hide them.
Not a chance, especially since most of the differences are software related and Apple could easily make them available to at least some of the previous series.
First generation I won’t be buying. If there had been a new Ceramic I likely would have, hoping it’s back with S8.
Nope. Got my 6 for $279 at Best Buy and the savings will tide me over until Series 8 or 9.

If the battery life would have improved even a bit, I would have considered the new Apple Watch. Charging speed increase is like Tesla trying to say your battery will not give any more miles BUT in the night you can save 1 hour for charging time. Very disappointed. I did not upgrade my last year after doing so every year for many years. Too little changes for the hassle of a change over.
No mention of the SiP in the Series 7 makes me feel like there'd be no performance improvements, so no.
No, not even tempted. I would need it to be a big upgrade to replace a 6 after one year. And, it really isn't.
Mostly because my S6 battery just took a serious hit this week, but also my old eyes will appreciate the larger screen.
Nah. Battery still at 100% (lasts all day easily), screen still perfect, seems the new one has no better performance and no new killer feature. Pretty easy pass.
Yes, like the obedient Apple Sheep that I am.
I am. The bigger screen will be awesome.
But in all fairness, the Series 6 owners should be the least likely to upgrade.

I still have my series 5 and it still works really well. I would have upgraded, but some health features for next year's model still sounds more appealing and it looks like they will finally change the form factor next year considering they didn't this year. If all else fails and next year's update is very incremental, I might update to a series 7 then.
Just got my [RED] AW6 (up from the 3) and I love it. “New to me” and I expect to keep for a good long while…
Actually pleasantly surprised - I bought my Series 6 in April, and knew I was “at risk” of being bummed by a Series 7 overhaul… nope! Feeling content with 6, and will keep it for at least another generation
All this said - I just think this is the way technology is going. I may be an anomaly on a message board filled with Apple fans (myself included!) but I have an iPhone 11 that I love and likely won’t replace until forced to (or until I see a screaming carrier deal!).
