AW Series 6 Aluminum to a AW Series 7 Titanium

[BDwy27]

Just seeing who has traded in their Series 6 for the Series 7. I love the titanium look.

I know the Series 6 to 7 are small upgrades but the bigger screen, faster charging is nice but the biggest thing for me I really like is the swipe keyboard. Been wanting that for a while so I don't need to talk to type and get respond faster to texts.

Ive read rumors that the series 8 probably will not be getting the more square redesign like the iPhone and iPads have gotten.

Also looking at the space black vs original titanium look.

Keep in mind that the natural Ti can be polished. Anything with a coating cannot be polished, should it scratch. The DLC coating on the Space Black makes the Watch more durable, but scratches still happen on them sometimes.

Nobody really knows what to expect for the Series 8. I think production of the Apple Watch is much smaller than the iPhone and that makes leaks less frequent.

Personally, I might wait for September at this point if your series 6 works well still. That’s just my opinion though.

The 7 was said to be a minor release. I'm finding it's got a better, bigger screen, better battery, and an usable keyboard. I love it.

Thanks for the reply! Would you take the standard or space black titanium?

I think it’s a very personal decision. I’d go with natural Ti, but I also just like the look more and find it more distinctive. I also feel better knowing that I can polish something and somewhat restore it if necessary.

Thank you! I do think natural pops more on your wrist.

Yes, but warmer and more muted, compared to the chrome finish of silver stainless steel. With a simple analog watch face, it has a luxurios classy look and feeling. It also is surprisingly scratch resistent. I was prepared for scuffs and regulary do a bit of polishing, but after 4 months I still don't see any scratches at all. No regrets going with natural titanium after having space grey aluminium.

I would go and see them in person at an Apple store near you, just be aware they’re not sold in every Apple store

I'll say this - I still somewhat regret that I didn't wait for a Natural Ti Series 7. I went with my normal Silver SS, which is great, but I didn't want to wait another month to get a Natural Ti. That's what my original plan was for the Series 7.

I have worn Tag Heuer watches for 20+ years and tried an AW a few years ago. It was too small and too light for me then. I purchased the Titanium AW 7 about 2 months ago and haven't worn my Tag one time since. It has a much cleaner, more professional look that can be dressed up and still dressed down. I won't buy anything but Titanium moving forward. Highly recommend.

I went from a series of SS Apple Watches to a natural Ti SS7 and I love it. I've had a couple of little scuffs on the casing, but they buff right out, using an abrasive (graphite?) eraser (a grey eraser, used for pens rather than pencils). Absolutely beautiful watch - I highly recommend it. It looks great with a stainless steel link band, as well as sport bands, leather links, and so on. Very versatile.

I will stick with my 6 it still works great and the battery is awesome. I use it for my bad heart my doctor couldn't believe how well it works.

I just did. But not really traded, I'm keeping my - lightly scratched - Nike Alu S6 for heavy duty: gardening, rough outdoors, sports etc. And indeed the battery is awesome, it lasts for 2 days.

I got a Natural Ti. It is wonderful. Absolutely beautiful watch, classy and discreet. It looks good with every kind of band (except perhaps those with SS lugs). It wears sport bands much better than SS but that's a personal opinion. It has great battery life and the screen is beautiful. I'm really very happy.

How badly scratched is the Aluminium one?

Not that badly. Screen visibility is not impaired.
