    AppleCare for SS?

    Are you buying AppleCare for your stainless/sapphire AW?

    S4 Scratchgate? Some are reporting that the SS sapphire displays are already showing scratches.

    Just saw a post on Reddit showing micro scratches on stainless steel S4s on display at the Apple Store. Can anyone corroborate?

    Slow response when tilting wrist and screen appears.

    Picked up the S4 this afternoon, Got it all set up around 4pm, everything went smooth. I'm not sure what this is...if it's a new setting I'm missing or something is goofy? (I'm coming from a Series 1, lot has changed) It just seems to be a tad sluggish when I turn my wrist and when the screen...

    Tucson Apple store - great service

    joined line (position no 6) outside store at 6am to try and get a 44mm space grey cellular watch to replace my series 3. Apple employees handed out drinks and snack and advised that at 715am they would take reservations and we would then be given a time to come back and collect our device At...

    AppleCare for Stainless?

    Hey everyone - happy release day! While I await delivery of my S4 aluminum, I am still thinking about an exchangeroo for a stainless. In trying to justify the price jump, I was thinking, would I need Apple Care for the stainless model? Could save $70 right there. S4 SS purchasers and S0-S3 SS...

    Chances of finding SB SS?

    Hi, long story short, I woke up at midnight (pacific time) last Friday to pre order series 4. And straight away, backorderd 3 weeks! You can imagine my disappointment. What are my chances of getting a 44mm SB SS series 4 on launch day? At Apple? And at target? In other words what’s the best...

    Tips for Launch Day in store

    I’ve never lined up for an apple product on launch day. I’d appreciate some help for myself and others reading. First, how early should I show up? I was thinking an hour before launch. It’s a typical in-mall store. How much stock will they have? I’m getting SB SS... what are my chances from...

    Apple Watch Series 4 w/ Cellular - Phone Required?

    I'm sorry if this has been answered before. My son is special and I was thinking about getting him an Apple Watch Series 4 / cellular. But he doesn't have an iPhone and I feel he'll lose the phone, but not the watch.

    Apple should make a Apple Watch upgrade program

    Apple should make an Apple Watch Upgrade Program. The Apple Watch is getting more expensive every year. Last year the watch went up $50 and this year the price went another $100(I’m basing the price of a SS Apple Watch) i think the aluminum went up $70 this year. Another thing this watches don’t...

    Series 4 Tracking/Shipping/Dispatch Thread

    Hello all! Excited to get this ball rolling. Part of the fun of pre-ordering is waiting for new order statuses... and of course, monitoring shipments before Apple even provides a tracking number. I got a 44mm, Gold SS with the Stone Sport Band. My status is "Preparing to Ship," but I haven't...

    AT&T - Apple Watch Series 4 Preorders

    I figured it would easier to manage if we have carrier specific threads for those of us who chose to preorder through our providers. This is my second preorder for the Apple Watch. My first one was for the S0 42mm SS, which I got directly from Apple. I have to get the GPS + Cellular combo, since...

    Best Buy Pre Order for Series 4 Apple Watch?

    Has anyone else pre-ordered a Series 4 Apple Watch through Best Buy? I had a large Best Buy gift card, so I felt compelled to shop there. I placed the purchase late Friday afternoon (9/14), and the confirmation states will ship/receive by Sept 21st. Too good to be true? I believe I have heard...

    Apple Watch Series 4 availability on Amazon

    My wife and I recently married and have a Amazon gift card balance we'd like to use to purchase two new Apple Watch Series 4s. However, we're not sure how long it'll take for Apple to begin selling them on Amazon and if we'll be able to wait that long. We see that Apple sells products on Amazon...

    Cellular S4 customers getting screwed

    by Apple and by their cellular carriers. First, Apple is charging $100 more for the exact same watch plus a cellular modem (which probably costs $2). For the S3 release, original pricing for the cellular model was $70 more than GPS alone BUT the cellular model also came with more storage (16 GB...

    US Cellular Series 4 in the UK?

    Hi all, I'm looking to pick up an S4 in the US in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if the cellular capabilities will work if I activate it on EE in the UK? AFAIK, the S3 cellular doesn't work across countries, just curious if anyone knows if this is still the case. Thanks!

    Anyone using a SS watch primarily for fitness?

    The idea of a sapphire crystal screen is appealing but does it make sense to work out in a stainless watch everyday? The casing will probably scratch up pretty easily (though I know it can be buffed out - at least silver, not sure about black). And is the stainless heavier? I’m talking daily...
