⌚️ 🌎 Apple Watch 2023, Apple Watch Ultra 2 /Series 9/SE, Pre-Orders/Order Status/Delivery Status/*Shipped* Thread (U.S.A./Worldwide) 🌏 ⌚️
Got my S9 Friday too and just checked trade in kit and it's supposed to deliver this afternoon.
S9 arrived yesterday, 24h in and very happy with it. Siri’s much snappier and makes me want to use it more.
Arrived on launch date and loving it. Big step up from the series 4. I am having an issue where the weather complications sometimes are not showing any info. Tried resetting it, tried turning on and off location services. Hopefully it resolves itself soon!
Nice looking watch & bands! A couple of my 3rd party apps are having trouble with Watch OS 10, too. Apparently it broke some of the permissions that the apps need to access data. The developer of one of those apps says Apple promised him a fix soon by way of an OS update. Hope that's true!
The weather widget was broken for some of beta, then it got fixed and then it seems they broke it again for RC/Release, though it's only broken once or twice for me, it was multiple times a day in beta.
Thanks for that info, gives me some reassurance it’s not something I need to worry about on my own particular watch. Enjoying its so far.
I’m not even sure how I did mine. Woke up after a heavy night out and found a deep scratch. Chatted with Apple and then sent out a replacement, and I mailed the scratched one back. All done with a few days.
I wanted a different band last year and I had to return the watch and reorder with the band I wanted. SMH
Wow, that sounds so silly on Apple's end.
Why make a customer return an opened watch then have to reorder it because Apple does not have any magnetic fabric bands anywhere ?
It's Apple's fault for advertising this band and it shows unavailable.
It's not the customer's fault; Apple should step up and replace the band when it stocks ???
They really got to start not bundling a band with every watch sale …
Would be nice. The various bands I used with my S6 are all fine, picked up as open box deals or leftovers from prior models. I really didn’t need yet another one.
Worth noting that my in-store pickup S9 had a dummy watchband box in the watch box, and the ordered band was in its own retail packaging.
Had the Ultra 2 delivered on the 22nd, charged to 100% and currently on 2% left with 71 hours of use in normal mode. Did about 17.5 miles of running (using stock workout app) over the weekend, so battery usage is looking really good. Do miss fast app switching though in watch os 9.
So this is a bit strange. My watch shipped on Saturday with an expected delivery of tomorrow, but both the tracking # and invoice # return blank on UPS’s site. Anyone else have this happen?
Through Apple…and the Apple site says shipped and delivering tomorrow but UPS doesn’t have any info.
It might shipping from a local warehouse or Apple store via FedEx.
Try using the apps (UPS and FedEx) and enter your address.
If a package label is created with that address, it will show on the app.
I am having the same issues with the weather complications and widget in the smart stack on my Ultra 2 as well. Most of the time they are blank.
Hopefully they fix it soon. It has been broken the majority of the time for me since Friday.
Did you try going into privacy settings on your iPhone and then go to location services settings? You have to turn Weather from while using to always. That solved it for me.
