QWERTY functionality. Larger display by 20%. That warrants a justification in an upgrade for ME. Again, this is all subjective.

really trying to work out how a screen being larger in a case essentially the same size is weird.
It will be my first Apple Watch so I guess it's a worthy upgrade for me!
Posting the following for other readers - if you're happy with your upgrade that's all that matters.
Remember that 20% is the area measurement. Marketing departments like to cite area changes since they present an amplification of the underlying linear difference.
Display sizes are 1.9" diagonal for S7 45mm (484x396px @ ~326ppi) and 1.78" diagonal for S6 44mm (448x368px @ ~326ppi). Diagonal difference of 0.12" (~1/8" or ~3mm), which is a 6.7% increase; X & Y axis increases of ~8%.
So of course the marketing department uses the area increase -- it sounds better. 😀
You should make a table like OP first.
People really feel better justifying their personal choice by seeking approval from others, huh?

Worth is subjective. For me it has been worth it from my S5. For others it’s not.

Not to be a broken record here, but I think fast(er) charging is a big practical upgrade, too.
