I couldn’t finish this video. Unbearable to watch. It was more about himself than the watch and inbetween a huge promo of his wireless earbuds :rolleyes:
YES... this video was a bit annoying with the 5 minute earbud ad in the middle and then that ridiculous fashion piece is where I just turned it off.

Best review I've seen was the Brian Tong one that was listed above.
 
Tbh, not a persuading review. Of course I want to upgrade my AW every 2-3 years because it's a piece of technology, and technology advances every year, let alone every few years. So, upgrading my S4 to a S7 is a no-brainer. All his points are pointless to me. His smirk doesn't make him more interesting, maybe only more obnoxious. And haters will be haters, always.
He’s not a hater across the board but is not a fan of this upgrade (even from a 4 which I also have). I’m still going to upgrade but I do get the sense that after the initial excitement of having something new wears off in a day or two, he’s going to be totally right. It’s still a watch and doesn’t really do a lot that even my 4 didn’t do. I am looking forward to the always on display as my #1 new feature. Blood oxygen is not compelling. The bigger size will be nice but just be something I adjust to in short order and then kind of be whatever. Faster charging is necessary only because the battery life is pretty crap still. My Garmin Fenix runs for 6-8 days between charges even with doing GPS runs every day of 30-90 minutes.

I’m a AW fan but also a Dieter fan. In the end, he’s right on this one IMO.
 
Do you know if Milanese loop bands are back ordered?
Got mine today to replace my old one for my starlight 45 mm due 26-28th. Ordered on weekend and it got here today from Memphis I believe. So they had them in warehouse.

Looking now still have them order today arrive tomorrow for $8 or free by Friday

Yep best and most honest review like you I have a 4 I will give to my daughter who wanted it if I upgraded. The larger screen size, and some other features were attractive and its been 3 years about my cycle with AW’s. Yep like Christmas once you have it always wears off LOL

I wasn't talking about the quality of the review. I agree it was limited. The person I was responding to was asking about more views of the starlight - and it was a good comparison video of the starlight vs gold and silver. However, I did like that he had timestamps, I didn't watch the airbuds part because I used the timestamps to skip to the parts I wanted to see.

Brians video was the best. He pointed out the features on the 7 that helped him use it better. The rest just did a comparison and reasons why not to upgrade.

My post was not meant to criticize you. It was about pointing out the cringeworthy way that guy did his review.

Thanks for sharing the vid cause i also wanted to have a good look at the starlight color.
