6 Reasons to Wait for Apple Watch 7 & 5 Reasons Not To

Apple is reportedly working on a new Apple Watch 7. The Apple Watch 7 release date is just days away and there are some great reasons to put your credit card away and wait for the 2021 Apple Watch.

If you’re thinking about buying an Apple Watch in 2021, the Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE are the company’s latest models. And now that we’re a year out from their release, you should be able to find some excellent deals with more coming later in the year.

Apple also sells the Apple Watch Series 3 and you can also find former flagships like the Apple Watch 5 and Apple Watch 4 at retailers like Amazon.

You also have options outside of Apple’s family of watches. Some of the top Apple Watch alternatives include Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, the Fitbit Versa 2, and Amazon’s budget Amazfit Bip S.

We’ve also heard about new 2021 smartwatches and the purported roster unsurprisingly includes a new Apple Watch 7.

Apple Watch 7 Release Date

We’ve heard a ton about the iPhone 13 series and iPad mini 6 and we’ve also heard quite a bit about the company’s 2021 Apple Watch.

Digitimes says Apple’s planning multiple product events for September. According to its sources, Apple will “host a series of product launch conferences in September.”

We’ve seen multiple reports point to a delayed Apple Watch 7 release date though it now looks like the device will launch on time with limited quantities available at launch.

Unreleased Apple Watches have also shown up in the Eurasian Economic Commission database ahead of their expected launch in the fall.

There are six models listed: A2473, A2474, A2475, A2476, A2477, and A2478 and these are likely the new Apple Watch 7 models running watchOS 8.

Apple does its best to plug up leaks, but they’re inevitable and we should see Apple Watch 7 rumors out new features and enhancements in the coming days.

These Apple Watch 7 rumors put those of you searching for a new smartwatch in a tough position: Buy a new device right now or wait?

While many people will be just fine upgrading right now, others should hang around and wait for Apple’s 2021 Apple Watch models.

In this guide we’ll take you through the best reasons to consider waiting for the rumored Apple Watch 7 and the best reasons to go with something else.
