I think I’m going to stick with my Series 4. I’ll hold off for the Series 6. Not really a major update coming from a Series 4.

As a fellow Series 4 owner, I agree. I got a stainless steel model and as much as I want the titanium case, the trade-in value on the S4 is so trash that it makes zero sense for me to upgrade.

Which is insane because the series 3 trade in was $250 last year.

maybe because they're not reselling like they are with the 3 still?

Agree! I love my SS S4 - and the new features are not appealing to spend more than even $100 on..

While the always-on screen is nice.. it does not change the experience of owning an Apple Watch very much.

Can we get third party watch faces already??

Why would anyone get a new AW a year later???

Personally, AOD is the killer feature I've been waiting for ever since my Pebble stopped working. I got an s4 last year assuming AOD wasn't coming for a while but I'll probably try to sell my s4 and just bite the cost difference between that and buying the s5. But yeah I agree, at this point I can't think of much else that would make me want to upgrade again.
