I can understand not wanting the 7. Sold my 6 before the September event and went back to my Series 3.. Even going from 6 to 3 I didn't miss any of the features on the 6 except the speed/responsiveness and always on display.
Got a tip for us?

I've not used it. I was just making a joke. Still have my pre-order and looking forward to it! 🙂

Imagine buying the series 6 and buying the 7 a year later . I hate to see what your auto loan situation is I assume you change cars before you have to fill it up with gas.
And we don't care if you canceled your order.....

I figured as much but couldn’t resist to give you a hard time 😜
Hope you’re gonna be one of the few ( if one believes the MR folks) who will actually enjoy the S7!

Living your tech life based on what reviewers say seems rather foolish to me. You should have used the watch for 10 days or so and made up your mind based on hands on usage.

Honest question....Why do individuals post comments like these? They are all over MacRumors forums. I guess they are trying to solicit a reaction.
The Problem is, you have people on this site who upgrade every single year, where they don’t appreciate and/or overlook the changes that were made. Apple’s target demographic is not people on this site who upgrade yearly, it’s the consumers that upgrade every 2-3 years. Anybody upgrading from an S4 for example, will absolutely appreciate the differences with the S7.

Because said people are looking for more validation from strangers.
Yeah, the changes are definitely not as big as the iPhone changes at the same point in their lifecycle. OTOH, I really like my titanium Series 5, and don't have any big wishes except for better battery life and more reliable complications.

I think that that plays a part. This site is replete with people who can't make day to day tech decisions. It is rather alarming so many here choose to be chained up inside their own mind.

The reviews didn't really tell us anything we wouldn't have already known from watching the keynote. Not sure how they could change a purchasing decision.
Lol you might be on to something. I sold my series 6 right before the September event and am getting the 7. Sold a 2022 car I owned for a month (only one tank in it 🤣) for a nicer 2021 car and ordered a 2022 version of the 2021 car I purchased.

I got the S7 a year after the S6, I know you're exaggerating but still, we're talking about a $399 item here since I go base model each year. Apple gave me $210 for my S6 so it isn't that obscene.

It was pretty clear that this was going to be an iterative update so I don’t know what people were expecting.
Anyone who was on the fence would’ve received their deliveries from Apple, tested it out for themselves and returned it within 14 days if it wasn’t meeting their expectation.
Dramatising it in a meaningless thread is just - well - meaningless.
This screenshot off one of the review videos shows the bigger display of the S7 vs the S6. Pretty big difference to my eyes.
