I’m just upgrading because I’m tired of the gold SS. Ordered the ss graphite. If the battery life is as bad as the series 5 was I will return it. I had a SBTI for a couple weeks and it was bad.
I really like the red this year but I feel like I would get tired of it and I’d be worried about the screen scratching

Assuming we get a design update with S7, I will pass on S6 and stick with my S4. I will however coerce other family members to buy one. :D

I never thought there would be a battery improvement. I wanted blood oxygen and it has that so I’m definitely upgrading. I’m getting 40mm non-GPS Space Gray aluminum with the Solo Loop in size 3. I’m not preordering though. I’m gonna wait to see if  offers 6% Daily Cash when you pay with Card at Christmas like they did last year.

I order an aluminum navy blue cellular 40MM for me and a gold aluminum for my wife. I really want to blood oxygen and sleep tracking.
Really hope there’s blue phone.

I have the Apple Watch 4 and it’s plenty fast and atm none of the features I see are all that attractive for me, the o2 sensor is nice, just not worth the upgrade from my stainless steel black Apple Watch 4.
I need bigger battery and I’d like to see some redesign, so for me I think I’ll wait one more year.

I can’t justify it coming from a S5. 20% faster, brighter AOD, blood oxygen, always on altimeter. I think I saw 5 ghz WiFi flash on the screen too. Just not enough. Which is fine - it rarely is if you have the prior year’s model.

Nope, sticking with series 4, I’m covered with Apple Care until March 2021. Honestly I probably keep this one for another few years until it’s not usable or the batterY gets worse, then I’ll either upgrade or just replace the battery depending on what the features are.

$10? This has to be a typo.

No BS Chief

Update - disregard - I tried again and got $155. I messed up!

I believe you have until it ships to cancel.

I was and am still on the fence about the S6. I have a coworker willing to pay me $200 for my Al S4. I was going to get another Al with the new braided blue band. Doesn't seem like too bad of a deal...

Yikes, my S4 44mm aluminum (cellular) got me $140

Resale values are horrendous from Apple. My S4 44mm SPACE BLACK STAINLESS (also obviously cellular) was offered at $155. So $15 more for a watch of the same year that cost $320 more at purchase than yours! $320 extra so I can get $15 more at resale lol. Truly horrible but so it goes. I'm keeping my S4 and will use it as an alternate watch with my S6 when charging or I want a change of pace in case look.

I think you can cancel until it is "preparing to ship" not shipped so I'd do it soon... obviously if it does ship you can return it for a full refund.

Yes, I usually upgrade my watch every other year. I alternate years - this year is the watch, next year is the phone, etc. I'm looking forward to the always on screen.
