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

AOD will probably be one of the features I turn off as I don’t see a benefit. The only thing that comes to mind with that feature is potential battery drain.

Then again, fast charging may be somewhat of a godsend on heavy usage days or topping off on longer days between charges.
Totally. Planning to add a fast charging USBc cable in the bathroom to charge it during showers :D
 
@Boardiesboi congrats on your first day out of lockdown you lucky duck. 🙄😂 another 74 years to go here lol.

Didn't pop into a Jb hi fi by any chance? any new apple watches on display? 🤔🧐⌚️😂
Yesssss I went to the gym for the first time in 4 months!
Didn’t go by JB but no one I’ll have the watches u til Friday
 
My S5 from launch day is at 92% Still going strong.

That’s nice! My S5 is only a year and half old but down to 85%. Do you use AOD? Track sleep? I’m thinking about turning off AOD and use S5 for sleep tracking when I get my S7 if that makes a difference.

Yes I use the always on display all the time. I also use it to track sleep at night. I love the silent alarm feature as I am an early riser (like getting my workouts in before the day starts).

Me too, at 6 up and head to the gym, use the watch all night long, at the gym using SmartGym app and Music, always with AOD on... and 91%. Who knows why! Yours looks much better. Maybe it's the O2 measure the one killing battery?

Yeah could be. Could also be the always on altimeter?
 
It's amazing the difference in models with always-on display and those without.
My S6 is 91% healthy, and I see there are S4s on this forum with similar health. No doubt the S5 and S6 suffer much more. Let's see how the S7 performs.
I wanted to switch to S7 precisely because of how little battery life I get. If I do 1 h of training and sleep with it, I have to keep an eye on it at all times or it dies...

The same thing seems to be happening with the iPhone 12... they seem to degrade much faster. i wonder if they changed battery chemistry / supplier last year...
 
Probably... there are so many sensors measuring at the same time... and I'm one of those who leave everything on to enjoy all the features at the same time :D Let it measure everything, I'll let myself!
I am the same. Leave it all on haha.

once my watch arrives in november, wondering whats a good facewatch to use. with everything like messages heartbeat monitor etc etc. besides telling time.
I use Infograph almost all the time. I rarely change to some other fancy face/s but come back to Infograph in a few days at the most. It has 8 complications.

Ss5 on 80%, launch day (I think). My old ss3 is at 84%, that’s four years old (it’s now my daughters, used every day). I didn’t want a 7 but I’ve just put this on mazuma and will get one most likely at John Lewis on Friday (£100+ vouchers plus 6% discount through work).

Shipped!

No shipping details yet. But I guess my watch won't be shipped directly from China. I think it is in Europe already. So I expect a tracking number later this week.
 
I ordered the Series 7 in Midnight (which will be my first Apple Watch :eek:). From the official picutures I got the impression that midnight could have a slight dark blue tint in it. As I want a darkblue sport band I was wondering if the Sport band in midnight also has this dark blue tint or not. I am afraid that Abyss blue might be too bright for me. Does anyone already has one or both bands and can say something about this?

Same here in France but my CC has been charged. No longer pending. Who about yours ?
