Why you shouldn’t buy a new Apple Watch now

It is of course very nice to buy a new Apple Watch, but this is really the worst moment you can imagine. We advise you to postpone your purchase for a month. This is why.

Don’t buy a new Apple Watch now

Most people think of the iPhone when they think of the Apple brand, but don’t rule out the Watch either. Apple’s smart watches are extremely important for the company’s turnover and, not unimportantly, the rack is far from over.

According to data from analyst firm Strategy Analytics delivery of smartwatches rose by almost half last quarter to 18 million units. The clear market leader is Apple, with a share of more than 52 percent.

The company is doing everything it can to maintain and expand this position. That’s why Apple releases a new smartwatch every year. The most recent version is the Series 6, which appeared simultaneously with the iPhone 12 at the end of 2020. This year we expect a successor in the form of the Apple Watch Series 7.

Wait, wait, wait

Are you looking for a new smartwatch now? Then this is very important information. You can save a lot of money by waiting until after the release of the new model. As soon as this brand new copy is in stores, the older models will drop in price. This will quickly save you tens of euros.

The key question is: when will the Apple Watch Series 7 be released? Apple has not yet announced when the new smartwatch will be presented. However, based on rumours, we think it will be mid-September. September 14, in particular, is often mentioned as a date.

During the so-called autumn keynote, Apple will show which new products will be released this year. Most eyes are on the iPhone 13, but every year the company also pays a lot of attention to the new Apple Watch. They then tell you everything about the new functions, the design, the release date and price.

2021 will be an extra interesting year for Dutch Apple Watch fans. It seems that the Cellular Apple Watch, with mobile internet, is finally coming to the Netherlands. From detective work by iPhoned turns out that the company has already made the announcement on its website. You can read all about it in the article below.

Buying a cheaper Apple Watch…if you have patience

Even if you do not intend to buy the new Apple Watch, it is wise to keep your hand on the purse for a while. In the days surrounding the Apple event, sellers try to wear out the older Watches they still have, by stunting prices, for example. This is not only the case in webshops and shops, but also at second-hand sellers on Marktplaats.

Our advice is therefore simple. Do you not immediately need a new Apple Watch and do you have a little patience? Then wait until the successor to the Series 6 is presented. If you are not impressed or find the new model too expensive, you can still purchase an older model. This isn’t a bad choice at all, because by then older Apple Watches will be a lot cheaper than they are now.

That said, it’s certainly not a bad idea to buy an Apple Watch now. Whichever model you get, Apple’s smartwatches are incredibly beautiful gadgets that last for years. If you’re not interested in what the new Series 7 does or can do and money isn’t a big factor, there’s never a bad time to get a new Apple Watch.

This is what we expect from the Apple Watch Series 7

The Apple Watch 7 is rumored to be getting a completely new design. The screen seems to get bigger and the edges flatter than previous models.

These claims are not very strange, because in this way the design is more in line with other recently renewed Apple products, such as the iPhone 12 and new iMac computer. We also expect a more powerful processor and new health functions.
