Apple Watch Series 7 models are currently widely unavailable from Apple's online store, with only a handful of model and watch band configurations available to order as Apple clears stock of existing models to make way for new Apple Watches next week. Depending on case size, finish, and watch band, customers may find a few select Apple Watch models available for purchase.

I believe we can sum up this thread with the conclusion that we all have different usage, budget, needs and opinions, so there’s really no point in arguing about upgrading as if there was one solution for everyone. Some will buy and some won’t, easy as that.
