Poll: **** The official Apple Watch Series 6 thread ****

[Biz.Kid09]

My dads watch died earlier today, was just showing the red lightning bolt on the display so he put it on charge about 6pm, just checked it a few mins ago and its only about 20% charged. That doesn't seem right?

I noticed there was a WatchOS update to do so just started that and will leave it overnight but will be frustrating if we have to get it replaced. Its only about 1mth old from Amazon but be best off going to Apple for a new one I think.

Never had a smart watch before and considering the 6. My wrist measures 7", so would the 44mm look too big n bulky? Also, would you recommend a screen protector?

No.

Also, would you recommend a screen protector?

No. Would you put a face protector on a mechanical watch?

 

[joffy]

No.

No. Would you put a face protector on a mechanical watch?

No but I'd be gutted if I scratched it and never had an expensive watch before.

I wouldn't worry about it, its a piece of tech on your wrist that you'll bin in a few years for a new one. It's not like its a Rolex/Omega etc. that you might keep for decades (and an order of magnitude more expensive).

Yeah true. Do they still offer a good trade in if it's a little beat up?

 

[Trig]

They offer trade-in yes, I wouldn't say the prices were good though..

 

[joffy]

I have a scratch resistant thing on mine, not a case, just over the screen. You can't tell it's there and everything works fine still.

Which one did you get?

Are we expecting a Series 7 at the Autumn event or any time soon?
I’ve got an itch for a series 6 but if a newer model was in the offing perhaps the price will come down at some stage.

 

[Trig]

I'm sticll rocking the series 3 but will deffo be getting the new one if some comes out at the back of the year as the 3 was just a cheap entry into the Apple Watch game to see if I liked it or not.

 

[Feek]

I'd be quite surprised if there isn't one in the autumn.

I’m much the same now I’m on a contract that offers Apple Watch cellular. Didn’t enjoy the Garmin I had, and want to buy into the Apple eco system a little further.

I’ve read the series 7 might have made some space savings for a bigger battery possibly, would be good for it to last longer, but unless it goes 2-3 days without a charge you’d still probably be charging it every night anyway. And then tripling the battery won’t happen I expect, but one can dream!

 

[Squink]

Apple have released a new watch every year afaik. I’m holding out for a series 7 in full expectation that’ll I’ll be able to buy one in September this year.

 

[GMac11]

As I mentioned, I’m hoping for one just to hopefully lower the price of the 6.
I don’t need all bells and whistles that have been rumoured, heck I don’t even need the ones on offer on the 6. For all I need the SE would probably do the job however I quite like the Navy Blue model and would prefer an AOD but it’s not essential.

 

[Trig]

If they bring a 7 out, how will they adjust the rest of the lineup, you can still buy the 3, then there's the SE and then the 6, will they drop the 3 for the 4/5 and then leave the SE as is and only release an SE every other year?

 

[Ryan-3]

I'd assume the 3 will vanish and make it SE or 7.

 

[GMac11]

So I just picked up a Series 5 Space Grey 44mm for £221 on the Amazon Warehouse sale. As much as I liked the blue series 6 offering I felt that was a decent deal.

For all I need/want the watch for the 5 fills all my needs. Plus I can always change the band to whatever colour I want.

Just picked up a S6 Nike 44mm (open box, unused) for £325. Was going to wait for a S7 but delighted with this so far.
