Got any before & after shots?Yes, like new finish.
How badly scratched was it, and what caused the scratches (examples)?

Nah, sorry. It was a silver SS Hermes S4 that I sold long ago. I used the cloth to refresh it before I sold it. It got rid of the micro scratches that inevitably occur from normal use. Banging/rubbing against household appliances, door knobs, cars, etc. I can’t provide specific examples lol. I also can’t comment on deep scratches because it didn’t have any but it did have quite a bit of micro scratches on it. SS shouldn’t acquire deep scratching unless you go out of your way to abuse it.Got any before & after shots?

I feel you! I may or may not have 12. ?I currently use a SS Series 5, Aluminium Series 3 and a Series 2 Edition white ceramic. I don’t know why I have 3 apple watches ?.
?
But AC+ defeats the purpose for getting the Al watch due to costs. If anyway I have to pay more to get sort of protection for my Watch then I’ll get the SS.

Hey!! Yes good question. The truth is, just a few get lots of use. Most of the others just sit there collecting dust except for special occasions or when I feel like switching things up!Just a question for those with multiple watches, including older versions - does it not bother you to use an older one with a smaller screen/less features when you have a newer one?
Not being rude or anything, just curious.

With all the talk about this year’s upgrade being so minor, I figured I’d be disappointed if series 8 had big improvements, and I wouldn’t be wanting to upgrade from a SS 7.
Apple is no longer the innovative company it once was. It’s likely from now on watch upgrades are going to be small with each generation, unless Apple returns to innovation. Without innovation, there isn’t much more they can really do.
I want a body temperature sensor.I realize any changes will be incremental, but if it is something like battery life, updated processor, storage, etc., I know I’d probably want it, even though it wouldn’t likely make a huge difference in day to day use.

Originally I wasn't going to upgrade my 5 to the 7 as it just wasn't as significant an upgrade as I wanted. However I did end up getting a big scratch on my 5's face that had me reconsider. My 0, 1, 4 and 5 were all silver aluminum. I was going to do the same however seeing Starlight in person I really do not care for it. I even went back with a few other of my favorite bands and it reaffirmed my initial opinion. So then I thought maybe I'll go SS this time. But then realized two things 1) You can only get SS with Cellular which adds another $100 and 2) no one ever seems to have or discount the SS models. So basically a SS would cost me nearly TWICE as much (say $379 for 45mm at Costco recently vs $749 for SS at Apple).
Guess I'll wait for the 8 unless I completely break my 5 (which is why I upgraded from the 4!)
Yeah, that’s fair. Those would all be worthy upgrades to me but I only update watches every two cycles, so the Hermes is worth it for me because I can use the bands with future watches and it really only comes down to a few dollars a day. I chose to order take away less each month to make up the cost. It’s a sacrifice but worth it to me.

Not that watches are meant to upgrade every year but if you would want to the trade in value is only like $200. SS and TI get screwed on these.Originally I wasn't going to upgrade my 5 to the 7 as it just wasn't as significant an upgrade as I wanted.

As a stainless owner, my strategy is not to trade in the St/ti watches. Rather though, sell them out right, your return will be higher (Which is also depending on what time of the year you sell). But given how fraud/sketch buyers it so prevalent, I just decided to skip the whole resale value and either hand it to somebody else or just put it in the door when I’m done with it. That’s the nature of tech devices in general, it’s not a classic time piece, but rather a dated model that dwindles in value no matter what the cause.Not that watches are meant to upgrade every year but if you would want to the trade in value is only like $200.
