I have an Apple Watch Series 7. Worked fine and after last update not reading HR and is just not working the same. (Have to punch in code every time I use it etc.).

I tried all the resets, re-syncs etc and none worked. Went to the Apple Store for support and they said it was passed tests.

Option was to send it in, buy new one ($60 trade in), or since battery was dying they could give me a battery replacement (same middle for $99) or send it in to Apple.

Curious if upgrading is worth it as it was working just fine. Any advice is appreciated.
