I have a Series 4 and I am very excited to get the 7! It’s a much more larger display than I thought it would be.
Got a tip for us?

I just cancelled my Apple Watch Order

While I’m sure we all appreciate you keeping us in the loop regarding your purchasing plans, with hundreds of millions of people buying Apple products each year I’m not sure that kind of inclusiveness scales…
Maybe wait to start a thread until you have something interesting to share?
Cool. Please also update us when you get groceries…or when you stop to get gas
Upgrading from a 3 so big update for me. But even if I had a 6, a different case material this go round plus the enhanced display features could still make this a noticeable hardware update. To each their own though 👍 Hey, there’s always other things to splash some cash on!
(Edit: I meant if you choose a different case material)

good for you that you cancelled because in your opinion this update sucks ... why did you order in the first place?
Also good that others have different opinions ...
I’m also upgrading from a Series 4. Seems like the right length of time to get a good, noticeable update and the battery life is getting to the point where it doesn’t get through the day if I do a 30 min workout.
From a S5 or S6, I think it’s a much harder decision.

I've used the trade-in to update every other year, from Series 2 to 4 to 6. I get good value from the trade-ins, so I don't feel like I'm overspending by paying full price for the watch. Most likely, I'll upgrade to the 8 when it comes out, trading in my 6. People should check the trade-in price for their current devices when considering upgrades, if you're on the fence about whether the price is worth it.
Oh I meant if someone chooses a different case material. Sorry, didn’t realize how it read. I don’t think there’s any difference in the actual materials. Although with Ive gone, it’s now made of aluminum vs aluminium 🤣😂
Plus a new battery. Battery life is affected after one year of constant use and not as efficient
Why are ppl triggered that he canceled lol he's right its not worth the upgrade from a series 6, all the differences you wont even notice it....that said if this is your first apple watch OR you have a series 1-3 then I believe this is worth it for you but if you have series 4-6 this isn't a big upgrade IMO...
I'm sticking with my S4 too. The battery is nearly shot, but $70 for a new battery is worth it to me. I don't find the additional features of S5, S6, or S7 to be worth the price, personally. We'll see what S8 holds next year. Bigger screen? Who cares, it's still a small watch; I'm not typing messages or watching movies. Always-on display? Who cares, it turns on reliably any time I want to look at it just as my S0 before did. What else is there, really?
I was holding off on my battery service with the intention of going for the S7. But there just wasn't much to get excited about. I think even Apple agrees with that statement given their lackluster rollout. I'm not saying it's a bad product; it's just so iterative that there's almost no point in upgrading for a current Watch owner.

I'm cancelling too, they removed the physical diagnostic port.
That's obviously an option, too, but I'd rather not deal with the hassle of setting up and negotiating a sale. Trade-in takes an extra minute during the order process, and you get to keep the old watch until the new one arrives, make sure your new watch is set up and working properly before you send in the old one.
And more importantly when you choose not to get groceries or stop for gas. That‘s the information we all care to track most closely.
While I did order a series 7, if they had done the new case design I would have sailed to China to get one!
how did you use that thus far? I'm really curious about that ...
the best thing to do is to review the thought process you went through to get where you are at now and then do a "Lessons learned" ...
I agree not a big change but I want two watches, my dress up watch is a SSS3 and my knock around is a alum SG 5, I am keeping the 5 but really wanted the gold SS so that is what I am getting while the prices are still the same this year as last. I totally expect prices for the watch especially the ti and SS to go up quite a bit with the 8 so feel this year was the right time.
You're obviously looking for validation, so here we go: we validate your choice to cancel your Apple Watch order. You can now sleep well tonight.
Looking forward to my S7!

At this point in the evolution of extreme high tech devices, the expectation of quantum leaps in performance and features year to year are getting smaller and smaller. One must do what best suits ones expectations. I current have a series 5 Gold SS. It does everything I need it to do. The gold finish is beautiful and it matches my gold iPone 12 Pro. Being older I have no need to upgrade at this time or every year. I will keep my devices until they no longer function as designed.
