    Is AW7 quicker than AW5?

    Hi guys! I just found a pretty good deal on a SS AW7 45 and wanted to know from some of you who also had the AW5 or 6 if you feel any difference in speed, battey I guess is the same. My current watch is a 40 SS AW5 and I love it, but the one I found is gold and also the bigger size.

    Howdy all, do any fellow Canadians have any idea if Apple Retail stores ever participate in any way with "Boxing Day"(Dec. 26th) Sales?
