One thing we do know is that it still has that atrocious red ring on the cellular models... And on topic it's really strange that all of the lineup's pricing hasn't been revealed. Personally I work in spaces where I'm not allowed 2-way comms, so I don't wear my Watch enough to justify upgrading more than every 3-4 years. Hopefully next year is a more substantial upgrade.

That “atrocious” red ring is sexy. That is all.

I don't use AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint or US Cellular....

so... if I get the Apple Watch with cellular, is it possible to get data service on it?(and how much is it per month?
Unless you use the carriers on this list, you wont get data service. I had it on Tmobile and it cost an extra $10 monthly.
 
The trade in value of my stainless series 5 is enough to make me not upgrade for at least a couple more years.
This why i still have the very 1st generation of my stainless steel, now it’s worth nothing maybe this why we should never buy one in the first place 🤷‍♂️
 
I was really looking forward to the series 7 coming out but aside from the larger screen nothing else about it really appeals over the series 6. I have an series 2 and I will probably wait until it breaks or the series 8 comes out whichever is sooner. Really disappointed in the 7 compared to the 6 and to what we were hoping for.

Wouldn’t the 7 be a massive upgrade over your series 2? Of course the 8 will always be better than the 7 as the 9 will be better than the 8!
 
It’s simple. The reason there’s no information is because it’s the exact same thing as S6, save the slightly larger face.

Maybe, but not everyone went for or remembers the six, for me example
And . . . it's open!!

(but no comparison yet for the different watch models)

Available date for Watch 7 is October 15.
using the filter I found later, after making sure I at least got the Hermes I wanted (because 14 day policy and all) I went back to confirm (which I coulda done on website had the given the specs) there is no silver stainless steel with sport at all and sport loop was only with graphite (not loving that) AND only sport loop? I love the notches and if I had to choose between the sport and braid it would be sport. Sport and graphite no…

so if I don’t like the Hermes I’ll be sticking with my four but at least I got to get it.

now the dates are pushed out to nov
 
I ordered the green aluminum GPS+ Cellular through Apple. It was relatively easy. The only surprise was having to select a custom band size which required printing a measuring tape and measuring my wrist. Otherwise it was a smooth process and I’m confirmed for delivery next Friday.

Best Buy’s website is still a mess. There are no prices and many of the models just say “coming soon” with no option to place an order.

mine was offered with green leather sequoia segmented band. I still have an old black one and that was a great band. I thought they discontinued it last year and when I saw it just now on a green watch with the green band similar or exactly like band I was thinking of I just grabbed it

i’ll be fine with whatever band - there’s zillions of choices for that these days too.

I had the fabric loop last year and it was extremely comfortable. I think the leather magnetic wrap was perfect

The store opened up 2+ minutes earlier using the Apple store app vs going to the website. Order is in, pick up on the 15th
