Anyone that upgraded from 7 to 8 - any big differences? I was thinking of upgrading while I can still get it with trade-in for under $100 but not sure I will bite. I'm honestly a bit tired of having to keep buying new bands every year. Annoying enough to do with phone cases!! Plus I agree with folks that those new snap on bands are really annoying to get on/off. Thanks.
 
I did not see enough significant difference to make the change. Still on my Watch7 Ultra with the upgraded OS software and perfectly happy with it.

I only upgraded from the Watch6 Classic to the Watch8 Classic. I really like it compared the the Watch6, but also kept one of my Watch6 Classics. My Other Watches: Ultra 2024 (2), Watch7, Watch3

My husband had a 6 Classic got the 8 classic but likes all black and sent it back and decided to try the 44 regular and loves it. I had a 40mm 7 and was on the new ONE UI beta and did it just cause it only cost me 85 bucks with trade in. But I do like it better and love the squicle even though I wasn't sure I would. The more brightness is good but for me going 40 to 40 a hair bigger screen and battery but storage was the same. But i really like it and like to have the latest. If you get a good deal do it but yes about the bands I hated not being able to use the 4 or 5 bands I had. But I am able to get the new ones on so much easier now. My husband always had to help me before.
