Not getting the series 7

[edswife1970]

But I did order two new bands!

I can’t see buying the series 7 because it’s not a whole lot different from the series 6.

I’m keeping my Series 5.

I definitely didn't see anything that merits an upgrade from my 6.

Same here this year's products should of been called the 's' lineup!!

 

[Annie_M]

Which ones did you order?

 

[Mr Segundus]

Agreed. Same processor, same battery life, same health sensors. No reason to upgrade, TBH.

 

[Tartarus]

Me either. This years Watch doesn’t have anything to make me wanna upgrade from my series 6.

I’m not disappointed in the newest Watch, however, my current Watch 5 is still running fast and smoothly so I’ll continue to use it. Heck, it still looks new and I wear it EVERY day.

My series 5 is at 88% battery health so I’m not ordering a S7 now, but I may have no choice in the spring. We'll see.

Mine is at 86%, but I can still take my Watch off the charger at 7 / 7:10 AM and go all day on a single charge before putting it back on the charger at 10-ish PM with battery life left.

My Series 4 is at 81% battery health but there's still not enough of a difference between the 4 and 7 for me to upgrade. If the health apps/capabilities are upgraded next year then i'll get that instead.

Which ones did you order?

The black cherry leather link and the Solo Loop lavender. I’ll post pictures when I get them!

It’s essentially the same as the Series 6. The processor is the same and didn’t get an upgrade. Just a bigger display and quicker charging. I did hear that the old cases probably wouldn’t work, though, because the edges on top might be a bit rounder.

Never checked my battery health until I read this post. My Series 4 is at 87%,Series 5 at 97% and my Series 6 is at 91%l I will probably be getting the Series 7 because it's hard to say no to the extra real estate.

I have a 5 which I may just hold onto. I’m a bit boring with watch colors. Have always gone aluminum silver look. I have a bunch of silver not inexpensive bands that I really like. There doesn’t seem to be that color choice. I like the blue a lot but that I feel limits the bands I could wear. The midnight is ok… may be a game time decision once I see it in person. Sigh… I wanted to upgrade.

I’m keeping my S4 for another year. Hopefully new health sensors will be added and then I’ll upgrade.

My Series 5 with its 83% battery health will need to hang on another year.

 

[pr1nce]

My Series 5 is at 89% battery health. It continues to run great. I’m keeping it for another year.

Probably because of workouts, this isn’t true for me. I need about 30 - 60 minutes charge in the morning after a workout to get through a day.

I am looking forward to checking my Series 3's battery health after I upload WatchOS7! I still get an average of 29 hours between charges! I think that's pretty impressive!
