I expected Apple to discontinue the Apple Watch Series 3 this year (2021), but it lives to die another year. If you are on the non-cellular Apple Watch Series 3, you will run into problems upgrading WatchOS because there is only 4GB of storage. Luckily, I am on cellular, and it comes with 8GB of storage, so I do not have this problem. But to justify my purchase of the Apple Watch Series 7 this year, I would say my Apple Watch Series 3 is getting laggier, and the battery can’t even last for one whole day. So when Apple Watch Series 7 was announced, I immediately bought it. I purchased the [Apple Watch Edition Series 7 (45mm Space Black Titanium Case with Marigold Solo Loop)](https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch?option.watch_cases=ML8X3ZP/A&option.watch_bands=MKXR3FE/A&preSelect=false&product=Z0YQ&step=detail#) for **S$1,279**. Sadly there is no Apple Corporate Employee Purchase Program (EPP) discount for it.

S$1,279 vs. S$1,079. For S$200, you get an additional Sport Band and an additional year of warranty. And of course, Titanium is a more expensive material than Stainless Steel.
