That’s not a bad idea! Apple is only offering $105 for the cellular 7 so it’s not worth it to me to hand it over.

Anyone upgrading from Series 7 to Series 10?

I upgraded from 7 to 10 and am wearing the new 10 now. It's the same watch. A little thinner? Meh... Better OS? Negligible difference.
It had been almost 4 years since a new one and I am giving the old one to a relative. There is no more excitement/payoff in starting up new apple products. You upgrade because the older ones are slowing down/getting worn out, not because there are staggering upgrades.

That's what I think as well. But my company pays for it for health reasons so I am considering upgrading once the price drops to $330 in month on sale.
Yeah the one think I wanted was bigger screen and honestly you don’t notice it at all it actually looks snaller because the bezels are bigger
After heading to the store, there is too small of a difference for me visually or performance wise to get excited about upgrading from a S7 Green to a S10 Jet Black. The Jet Black goes with more straps - but otherwise the feel is very similar. My S7 is at 100% battery and has AppleCare, so I’m not seeing a big reason to upgrade at this time. I would consider it if I could get $50 or more off the S10.
The Series 7 was an underrated update that has stood the test of time.
If you wait a month then 100% guarantee Amazon will list it for 350. During BF and Christmas it will go down to 329. Cycle continues.
Nope. 89% capacity on my battery still with well over 50% charge left after 14 hours of use on my S7. Don’t wear it when sleeping, don’t have sleep apnea & with the cost of a new S10, low trade in value of my S7, & no blood oxygen measurement, it would actually be a downgrade for me buying an S10.
Have green 7, actually upgrading from series 2 to 10 today. Can't be without a watch and need the back up and the series 2 is now too antiquated. So 10 will be primary and 7 back up. Takes a couple hours to charge the 7.
REALLY wanted to buy an Ultra 3 and was shocked it wasn't offered. Like black. Want the modular watch face for the Ultra. Have to wait until next year. I don't splurge often for new gear. The Ultra 3 will have to be significantly more appealing with new features to justify buying it after buying the 10 now.

My S7 was at 87% battery. Verizon offered me $180 trade-in for it, which is more than I would have been able to sell it for. Took a bit of sting out of the upgrade. I only update my watches about every 3 years. I have an Ultra 1 and the S10 now. Ultra 1 is on workout and sleep tracking duty while the S10 is for everything else.
I upgraded in the last week and I do notice a difference. Is it mind-blowing? No. But there are a few quality of life upgrades.
- I notice the screen size
- I notice better performance. so for example when I'm on a run and I am just on cellular, i can switch from music to podcasts with no lag. There was a noticable lag before and these sort of tasks were just not worth doing.
- double tap is a gimmick but I use it sometimes actually. I use the torch when using the bathroom at night because lights bother me, being able to switch torch with double tap is actually sort of helpful.
- screen does seem a TAD better to me if viewing from angle (i.e. looking down for a text during a meeting).
these are very little things but they add up to "something".

I still have a SS S7 because the trade-in on the original Ultra was pathetic. 
I thought about trading it in for a S10 but I don't really like the proportions of the S10 and I've got all the functionality of the S10 plus blood oxygen on my pre-import ban Ultra 2, so the S7 will stay here for now.
