Thank you all very much for sharing your experiences... awesome community as always 
So, I have been using the Series 7 graphite SS since last Friday. I still have the series 6 Titanium model, and I have been switching back and forth between these two. As most of you mentioned, the larger weight of SS model becomes kinda hard to tell after a while.
Also in my experience, doing any type of exercise (weight lifting, running, etc.) feels perfectly normal with the SS. My only point of concern right now is the intensity of the haptic feedback. It's good enough to alert me during the day. But I also use the haptic feedback of the watch as alarm clock (in silent mode not to disturb the gf). I ended up oversleeping for the last few nights, which had never happened with the Titanium models over the years.
Frankly after having experienced the SS, I would rather stuck with the titanium model on Series 7. But as the titanium models don't seem to be available till December, I will have to decide whether to return SS and keep using my series 6 titanium, or live with the graphite SS for a year.

Very interesting feedback on the alarm. I hadn't noticed any difference in terms of the watch alarm waking me up between the aluminum and SS versions, but I can see that extra weight might reduce the vibration effect - it makes sense.
