I'm still on a Series 6. Don't see a reason to buy the new one at all.

Mine got slow with the latest update. I stopped wearing it mostly and I don’t think I will get another smart watch. I’m more tempted by those screen less fitness tracker pucks.

The Apple Watch is just too expensive for something that goes obsolete far faster than a normal watch. The watches I owned before the Apple Watch 6 are still in perfect condition and as good as the day I got them while the AW is bordering on ewaste.

I recently replaced the battery in my Series 6. I’ve never noticed it feeling slow.

Maybe mine is worn out, but things like opening the wifi/bluetooth controls pane, or scrolling notifications is noticeably low fps now.
