I am still trying to decide. My battery capacity on my series 6 is already down to 90% in a year somehow but I easily get through the day and that’s really all I care about.
Got a tip for us?

Series 6 owners: Are you upgrading to the series 7?

I am upgrading and my series 6 has 88% battery life. What you may want to consider is for how much money you can sell/trade-off your series 6.
If you're selling on eBay as opposed to Apple trade-in, you may get back a large chunk of your Series 7 payment. That's what I am doing.

Still not decided...
My Battery is at 94% - still enough für a whole day with a workout.
Have to see the screen in real tomorrow at a apple store to decide..

Yep it is arriving tomorrow. Though, I go base model every year so it is a bit easier on the wallet. Apple also gave me $210 for the S6 on a trade-in last week.
I am upgrading as it's a no brainer for me. We get wellness money from work which covers Apple Watches up to $300 plus the AW6 trade in, which makes the GPS only version at a cost of nothing, or the cellular version for $19...so why not LOL
️ and figured I’d get more for it this year than if I waited until next. I also really like the idea of the larger screen.
I was going to go from S4 to S7 but I dropped the former a few months ago and thus replaced it with an S6. With the trade in values being relatively high, plus the carrier incentives for the cellular models (in the US anyway), plus the discovery that T-Mobile now has a $5/month plan, I am going to try cellular again (my S4 was GPS) and see if the upgrade is worth it. My S7 should arrive in early November and I’ll take it for a test drive. After seeing the initial reviews, I think that there is a chance I will return it and wait for S8, but let’s see.
If you’re referring to the $100 rebate available for the cellular S7 purchased from Apple Store, keep in mind that T-Mobiles requires NEW activation of the $10/mo Paired with DIGITS plan to qualify for the rebate.
But after you receive the rebate (approx 6-8weeks) you can choose to: 1) continue on $10/mo DIGITS plan, 2) change to $5/mo DIGITS plan, or 3) cancel the DIGITS plan.
Yep, though still undecided if I will trade in my AW6 or sell it. But I will be activating it for the $100 Verizon Rebate.
No, you can only tell the bezels are thinner when you use a photos watch face or a watch face that does not have black as a background colour. The ones I use have a black background like infograph and modular compact. so cannot really tell any difference in bezels. Battery health is fine at 98%. Would not even upgrade for flat sides, what I really need is new health technologies that empowers my fitness.
This is exactly the same reason I’m buying one. Also I got the black-ish SS for S6 and I’ve come to the conclusion I don’t really like it. Going back to the Ti for S7.
Yeah, even though I was a bit let down with the new features of the AW 7, I still feel it is worth it for the larger screen. I got a decent trade in value from Apple.
Also I’ve grown tired of my product red Apple Watch lol. Red is my favorite color but having it on a watch that i wear every day kinda got old and clashes with various outfits (work, gym, going out etc) I wanted to get something more modern, classy but also somewhat subdued, so I went with the Graphite Stainless Steel option.

I am but only because my 6 doesn't have cellular and I want cellular so that I could use it without being tethered to my phone.
I will be upgrading. I spend a lot of time exercising outdoors (cycling/running/hiking) so the larger screen and brighter AOD will be worth it. The faster charging will also come in handy to charge between sleep tracking/early morning workouts and leaving for work.
The $200 Best Buy trade in value for the Series 6 coupled with the 10% off coupon I have for Best Buy make it pretty much a no brainer.

Yes, my S6 was on 83% battery health and I’ve sold it to my brother (with AC+ so it’ll be replaced if/when it drops to 80%) plus I’m looking forward to my first experience picking up in store tomorrow 😄
looking forward to the bigger screen, fast charge is a bonus but not a game changer

My S6 is staying on my wrist until a new watch offers new health features.. Battery health at 98%
