Agreed! I'm still using a series 3 and it's functional. I do notice some slowdown, and will get the series 7 sometime after it's released.

My 11-year old is very happy with his series 3.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the series 7.

Have you given any consideration to the color combo?

If people are only using it to keep track of time, receive notifications, make phone calls (if cellular model) and a little bit of fitness then the Series 3 is still very capable and people should buy it, in my opinion.

Definitely, I might be interested in the Sierra blue Apple Watch 7, but will wait and make a decision after launch.
