Are you going to order the Apple Watch (2022)?

I usually set up my new watches as new, as I do not really have any data on my AW that approach gives me the opportunity to check out the settings all over again
Nice! That’s what I’m doing to do with Apple Watch Ultra. Set it up as new and then sync it with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I stayed with my 13PM, didn't feel worth it to me. What made me get the Ultra was the water resistance/diving capability. While I haven't been diving for some time, I would have never taken a regular AW into the ocean ...

I'm in the 6:50PM Shanghai Ultra group. Nice to see movement!

Just couldn't justify $100 more for the Series 8. Such an incredibly weak update that it's breaking my every other year purchase cycle. Upgrading from the Series 6 and excited to get a new band, cellular capabilities, larger screen and fast charging on the Series 7.

Will check out the Ultra once it's in stores, as I'll be within my return period. I still think it's too bulky though, especially for sleep tracking. Hoping Series 10 in two years finally gets a redesign and some significant new features.
Awesome! When the reviews for Series 7 came out almost everyone said the bigger screen wasn’t a big deal. When I purchased mine in January I was so pleasantly surprised by the bigger screen. Perfect size finally. Loved it so much bought another one so I could have the bigger screen on my work watch (I work in a highly acidic, corrosive environment so have separate watches for work/home)

Ya, I thought the same when the Series 7 came out. Ended up buying a refurbished Series 6 (though that had more to do with the release delay).

Using the Series 7 today the display size is a subtle increase (not as huge as the S3 > S4) but it really helps. Easier to hit buttons, clearer notifications and not having to raise my wrist as often.

My favorite feature so far is the fast charging though. Will really help out with sleep tracking. Not to mention loving the Midnight color.

Wild skimming over different trackings - coming from different parts of china. Mine started in Yaan and made it to Hong Kong others started in Jiaxing and hit shanghai.

I ordered a silver aluminum S8 GPS + Cellular; Right now I have an arrival est. of 9/23-9/30; Status still says "processing" on the Apple order page... Fingers crossed I'm on the earlier end of that estimate and that it will change to "Preparing to Ship" soon!

Yes love the midnight color!! Finally a black alum watch!! Looks so much better with all my dark bands compared to space gray IMO

Slightly off topic, but when did UPS start charging to have something held at one of their pick up points? I know they’ve always charged to change the destination to a different address but this is the first time I’ve had them want $6.00 to hold something.

Do you still get charged if you get premium my choice?

Im just trying to figure out if $20 a year is worth it lol

No fun. Didn’t have to scour the UPS tracking site with order numbers or reference numbers. Just showed in my choice

Darn UPS Tracking by reference is currently down so I can't find the watch. Is it the entire order number or just the last 4or 5 numbers? My watch is out until next month so far. This one is for my husband.
