A lot of rumors suggest the 8 will be lackluster. I’m holding out hope though. I was sad when the 7 turned out to be basically the exact same as the 6 (including the processor and battery life). It would be disappointing if they release the same basic watch for a third time. Fingers crossed we at least get a speed bump and improved battery life.My plan was to wait on buying a new AW until the 8 came out as I just sold my series 4 to be at the ready. However a good deal on the 45mm series 7 in green ($308) showed up a few days ago online, so that did it for me. Plus I had a couple unused Target gift cards too. To me, I’m not sure the series 8 is going to be enough of an upgrade to soemd an extra hundred plus. Good luck with your decision.
