I got a G602 a few months ago, which uses similar wireless tech, and I have to say it's a fantastic mouse. I don't play competitively or anything, but I've yet to feel like it's has glitched on me. I took out one of the two batteries and the weight is within a gram or two of the wired mouse it replaced.
I paid $40 at Best Buy, so IMO this thing will have to cost significantly less than the MSRP to be worth it.
My only regret is that I can't get a left-handed version (I like to switch back and forth between my two hands) and haven't managed to find a good lefty (or truly ambidextrous) wireless mouse (I considered an M325 but decided not to bother).
The G602 does not have a similar wireless technology to the G603. The G603 uses what Logitech calls "Lightspeed", a wireless technology that makes it's mice using it rival wired mice, leaving all other wireless mice without it behind it. The only mice with such technology are: G900, G403 wireless, G903, G703 and finally G603.
I paid £55 for a Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse which, to me, is already a lot of cash. I then paid £30 for a G402 Hyperion Fury. There's no way, on this world, that I'll ever, EVER, pay over £100 for a mouse. It seems that these companies keep finding smaller and smaller ways to improve something that they could have already improved, years back, but then increase the price.
Indeed I really should've said "worthy successor", by which I mean a wireless mouse with same number of buttons or more arranged in a similarly convenient layout and with improvements on weight, battery (if possible) and polling rate.
Compared to my G700s, the G703 with its measly 6 buttons cannot measure up to it.
I wonder if anybody ever measure the latency after it went through the logitech gaming software layer. I have a sneaking suspicion it might not be without its effects.

I realize I'm completely unfamiliar with Logitech's naming/model numbering scheme. But why does the G603 look NOTHING like my G600?Hurr Durr - Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - link
For the same reason my G102 looks substantially different from G100s, even if it supposed to be a direct successor, I guess.Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - link

Wake me up when you come up with a successor for my G700s, Logitech.BurntMyBacon - Thursday, September 7, 2017 - link
That would be the G703:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N...
Or were you looking for a "worthy" successor? In which case, define what it would need to be "worthy".

What are you playing to need so many buttons?Soundgardener - Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - link

It's AWESOME. I'd go on, but I've got RSI.

Is a wired mouse (such as the G502) still more responsive? This mouse has some impressive battery life specs.jo-82 - Thursday, September 7, 2017 - link
Is the battery exchangeable on the fly? I hate mice where i have to put in a cable in the mid of a game.sorten - Thursday, September 7, 2017 - link
There's no cable to put in. You throw two batteries into e-waste several times per year.JoeyJoJo123 - Thursday, September 7, 2017 - link
E-waste? I just flush em down the toilet.xchaotic - Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - link
Toilet? That's crazy. We just just burn them in the fireplace in the living room...Stochastic - Friday, September 8, 2017 - link
This is why you should use rechargeable batteries.Wwhat - Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - link
