Have the option to buy a series 6 or 7 stainless steel Apple Watch. (45mm). They're 100$ difference, but the series 7 has a bunch of bands. (250 vs 350 Canadian). Worth it? Should in just get a series 9 in aluminum instead?

Can anyone give me a quick synopsis of what new features are on the series 7. The apple website allows you to compare the series 7 with SE or series 3, but they seem to have deleted the series 6 info.
you can select compare all models at the top to still see older models

If you don’t yet own an Watch, then I would get the S7 over S6 because you get:
-
an impressive larger/brighter display
-
faster charging
-
QWERTY keyboard
-
crack-resistant display
-
Imho, better color choices for the aluminum case
-
2 exclusive watch faces
Apologies if there's already a thread like this- I couldn't find it.
I've decided to upgrade my old Fitbit and buy my first apple watch. I had been waiting to see what happens with Series 7. Are there any significant features that make it worth going with this model? If not, I would probably prefer series 6 since its price has been reduced.
Anything else I should be aware of getting an apple watch for the first time?
Thanks!
Hi all, I want to buy my very first Apple Watch. Wat is your advice to do: wait and buy the AW7, or just go ahead and buy the AW6?
Thanks all!!
If you are trying to choose between those two and having the budget I would personally go for the AW7. Despite having the same chip and same sensors as the Series 6, it also has some new features that are good: better display, charges 33% faster and includes de QWERTY keyboard. As you will be a first time buyer it is still difficult for you to see value in these things that I mention, but believe me, they are important and something you will value down the road.
If you are on a tighter budget go for the series 6 and you’ll be fine! 😃
Depends what your will need or like to have. The SE meets my needs just fine.
So I'm planning a late Christmas gift for my mom and She's been eyeing to pair up her iPhone with an Apple watch. I've been saving up for a year so I have approximately 500 USD (if converted).
I'm entirely new between the Apple Watch models so I don't really know what to choose? So please help me ;-;
Here are my questions:
What is the best model budget wise?
Is it worth it to buy the series 7? does the added dollars worth it?
Are the newer series have a noticable to the older series to choose it from the latter?
Thank you all so much guys!
You are the only one who can answer that. The screen on the 7 is noticeably bigger. If I were you and money is a thing I would recommend buying a used watch. You will get almost the same thing for a lot less money.
I went for the SE because it still has a good depth of features and a more friendly price tag. I’ve been using mine for a week and a bit and I cannot fault it whatsoever. I wouldn’t hesitate in going for that again. I would love the 7 but the price isn’t to my liking just yet.
Dear Redditors of r/AppleWatch, please I need your help in deciding which one of them I should buy.
I am quite not sure right know and so I wanted to ask you if you maybe could have help me with your experience from everyday life.
Is everything from Watch 6 series included in Watch 7 series, like EGC, oxygen measurement, etc. ? Exist differences in battery life?
Many thanks 🙏🏻
I just got my first AW and had the same dilemma. Went for the 7 in the end. Very happy with it and love the qwerty. The fast charge is amazing - I can put it on charge whilst brushing my teeth and by the time I’m done there’s easily enough charge to last the night. You do need the fast charge plug though
I compared for weeks from 5, 6, se or a 7. First time Apple Watch owner and I felt the 6 offered enough. The 6 was superior for me over the 5 and se for the sensor and monitors for health and the 6 is only 1 year old design at that point. So that made the 6 win that and go up against the 7 next for me.
Nothing major except screen size/brightness, faster charging and the keyboard that’s diff from 6 to 7 for me. The biggest thing that almost pulled me from a 6 to a 7 was the contour face that’s only series 7. I would like the keyboard but the screen is so small the voice to text option has been awesome! Can fix a few letters easy so full keyboard was not needed for me yet, or the brighter screen or faster charging since those don’t matter. I keep screen light low anyway and don’t need fast charging.
Lastly I stalked eBay for a long time to find a great deal on a brand new 6 that was NOT a open box or used from a weird retailer or anything like that. I was pretty particular about it and wanted a certain model color and size and condition. Eventually I found it for such a great deal that was the final straw that killed my thoughts on the 7.
TLDR: get the best highest model you need and don’t let 1mm screen size change all your judgments or let you justify spending a few hundred more. If you get a good one it will have great trade in if that 1mm seems like something your missing on.
Hello,
(113 cad = 88 usd)
I'm looking to get my first apple watch. I found a deal on a brand new Series 6 for 429 (Canadian). I can also get the Series 7 for 529 (Canadian). (Both GPS model) Budget isn't really an issue but I would prefer not to spend more than I need. Like I can spend the extra money but I can also find another use for it if I end up saving it.
So my question comes down to whether or not the Series 7 is worth the extra 88 USD over the Series 6. To those who currently have the 7 but had the 6, what features do you especially like about it? Is the extra screen/charging speed really that noticeable? Besides those 2 features are there any other ones that separate the 2?
Thank you for any advice.
Please feel free to vote in the poll.
if the series 6 isn't new, you've lost a year value and future usage due to its battery health.
if the 6 was unsold, then it's up to you to weigh costs vs. the few upgrades from getting a series 7.
if all other things are equal, when buying tech, the best tip is to always get the newest and best you can afford.
I had the same debate. Chose the S7 for the following reasons that I enjoy: bigger screen, faster charging, swipe to type keyboard. These make way more of a difference than I expected it to
There’s a difference of about 140 dollars between them. Both New.
Is it worth spending the extra 140 for the 7?
If you found a new Series 6 for $140 less than a new Series 7 of the same model, go for it! It won't last long at that steep of a discount.
Just be certain you're not price comparing a GPS to a cellular watch
If you want a larger screen and fast charging, gor for the S7. If not, then go for S6. Both have same processor and battery life.
Hi everyone, first post here. I just wanted to ask your opinions about this.
I can trade in my Series 6 for $210 at Apple (could I get more if I sold it elsewhere?), and would pay for the rest. I have a Series 6 40mm with no cellular… and I want to get a Series 7 45mm with Cellular which comes to $429 before taxes. Originally I got no cellular because I thought it wouldn’t be necessary since I carry my phone around everywhere, but sometimes it would be nice to just have that without my phone (particularly at the gym now that I have started going), The biggest difference would be the watch size, screen size and durability. Overall there isn’t much change besides those, I think they’re fairly substantial, enough to upgrade, however I would like the opinions of others and whether or not I should wait to get next year’s watch. I don’t think there’s any credible leaks for the next watch so I wouldn’t know whether it would be better to wait or not, either way, what do you all think? Would appreciate your thoughts, thank you :)
I own a blue series 6 and honestly I hate blue, thinking to trade In at apple that is offering me $235 and get the series 7 Nike edition in black. But I don’t want to regret when the series 8 comes out because I will definitely want it too 😏
there's practically no reason to upgrade from one version of the Watch to the immediate next one (same with phones and most other gadgets). all you're getting with a Series 7 is the slightly bigger size (could just as easily be a con for one person and a pro for another) and faster charging speeds. even a Series 5 owner wouldn't get much improvement
do you regretted
After watching the new announcement on series 9, my head turned back to series 8. However, during my research I noticed a fair amount of people here suggested to go 7 instead. Is 7 still considered a good choice?
Embargo has been lifted making this thread to links to the major media outlets unboxing/reviewing the Watch to curb the amount of threads.

Input Mag- Apple Watch Series 7 review: Easy victory
As the title says I just bought a 41mm Apple Watch 7 with 93% battery. It’s my first Apple watch and bought it to dip my toes into the water to see if I like Apple Watches. What are everyone’s thoughts? Is it still a decent watch? And how many years can I expect to get out of it?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I’ve just sold my iPhone 13 Mini and are now deciding between getting the iPhone 15 Pro or going with the Flip 5.
The Flip series of phones have always intrigued me and since they now give you the Galaxy Watch 6 with your phone it pushes me even closer since I wouldn’t want to ditch a smart watch, being so used to my Apple Watch.
I hear a lot of people saying the Apple Watch is the superior product which it might be. I only use it for notifications, controlling Spotify and checking the weather though. If that’s all I want from the watch, would it really be such a big difference?
And how is the 44mm model size wise? The bigger Apple Watch looks great on my wrist, but I’m thinking maybe the round shape would make the watch look even bigger?
Would appreciate any insight.
I mean, 2023 almost end, series 9 is released already. But that's all I can afford right now.
I just diagnosed with a heart condition (currently medicated and doing really good, but) I think I need the health feature such as ECG, blood oxygen and stuff. Are they pretty accurate?
I don't mind the design. As long as it does it jobs and won't be broken or being extremely outdated for the next 3 years (would love 5 years but well that's good enough).
How is your experience as Apple Watch user with chronic illness or heart condition?
Thank you!
