Do you plan on ordering the new Apple Watch Series 7 (2021) this September?

For some reason stainless steel was heavy. I didn't like it one bit. Also, it was prone to scratches :( That's the only reason I did not order the Hermes' watch :(

SS is heavier, but not by much. 44 MM SS is about 10 grams heavier than Aluminum. SS silver will get scratches on the body, but it can be polished very easily. Sapphire on SS is a lot more scratch resistant than on Aluminum. SS graphite has DLC and is extremely resistant to scratches compared to aluminum. Sapphire screen is more prone to cracking though.
 
I’m still rocking my 3rd Gen 38mm Cellular, but the battery is slowly dying, and it barely makes it through my workouts, so I really can’t wait to preorder.
I’d love to have a 44mm SS, but i learned my lesson with Series 1 and 2 (I’ve got a special talent for cracking screens) and I think I’m better of with a more flexible and small footprint 40mm ION X display.
 
I want to upgrade my launch day 44mm Aluminum S4, but I’m not going to upgrade my 12 Pro Max from iOS 14.1, until more information is out regarding the CSAM, so I’ll be waiting a couple months to upgrade. I don’t want to order it and not use it right away. I have to charge my S4 twice a day now.
 
Does anyone remember what happened last year regarding preorders for the Apple Watch S6?

I vaguely remember you could order straight away after the keynote on a Wednesday? And delivery 1.5 weeks later on the Friday?
Correct! I believe the pre-orders started right away. It was so annoying. Many AW’s were also not in stock right away either. I hope Apple doesn’t do that this year.
 
Undecided on S7. I've had my S6 for a few months now and may skip the 7.
- not a fan of the boxy design, I feel on the wrist any sharp edges or harsh edges is a no-go for all around comfort. I wear my Watch daily sleep, awake, in shower, working out especially.
* personally I'd like a larger screen close to 50mm (44 seems very small now, and the increased size allows for larger battery).

13 mini ... come to daddy.

14" MBP possibly maxed out will happy ... or XPS 13 / HP ZBook Firefly 14 ... unsure.
 
I’m still very happy with the series 6 so I’ll keep it a while. Rumors that the 7 would have blood glucose monitoring got me excited, but I don’t see how that can happen without a needle somewhere. I’ve been a type II diabetic for a long time so I know what’s required for glucose testing.
 
Definitely getting a new one over my AW6 as now I swim at the beach everyday it would be nice to just take my watch and not worry about missing texts / calls etc as currently dont have the cellular model. It always feels like the future walking up from the beach to the cafe there and just using my watch to get a cocktail :)
