Do you plan on ordering the new Apple Watch Series 7 (2021) this September?

I ordered the Series 7 in Midnight (which will be my first Apple Watch :eek:). From the official picutures I got the impression that midnight could have a slight dark blue tint in it. As I want a darkblue sport band I was wondering if the Sport band in midnight also has this dark blue tint or not. I am afraid that Abyss blue might be too bright for me. Does anyone already has one or both bands and can say something about this?
I have a 'midnight' phone case for my 13 and yes, it has a very subtle blue tint to it so can only imagine all others will as well.
 
It's amazing the difference in models with always-on display and those without.
My S6 is 91% healthy, and I see there are S4s on this forum with similar health. No doubt the S5 and S6 suffer much more. Let's see how the S7 performs.
I wanted to switch to S7 precisely because of how little battery life I get. If I do 1 h of training and sleep with it, I have to keep an eye on it at all times or it dies...
My Hermes series 6 is at 96% battery health after 1 year.
 
Question—does Apple only sell specific configurations at their stores, or can they mix and match depending on band availability. I’ve been looking online and it seems they have nearly every combo and size of Sport Bands, Sport Loops, and Braided Sport Loops available for the SE. Would seem impractical to have dozens, possibly hundreds, of SKUs in stock.
Ya, they mix and match. They will take the Watch SKU and the Band SKU and they package it up for you in the store in an outer cardboard layer.
 
last year i ordered from apple but it shipped from TN via fedex. This year its coming via ups from china. i found my tracking on my choice.
What is odd is Apple sent me notification the watch had shipped. Like you, I was able to track my shipment via the Apple link to UPS. I don’t recall Apple sending out tracking alert this early before.

I Have not received anything from Apple yet that it shipped and on their website it’s still showing preparing to ship. Which is typical of Apple.

Mine shipped and is in transit in China like others here. Too bad I’ll be returning it when it arrives lol. Part of me does want to wear it until my Silver SS shows up 🤣
 
Ordered immediately and got Midnight Blue 45mm for Oct. 15 delivery. My Apple Card has not been hit and status still says Processing. Nothing showing up in UPS or Fedex either. ☹️

Why not? Take it for a test drive and use the return policy!

Got mine today also. In previous years I was tracking my watch/phone with tips from people on here WAY before Apple alerted me that it had shipped.

Afternoon everyone, new to this site.

Upgrading my S3 watch to the S7, managed to get a Nike Starlight which I have selected for store pickup on 15th.

Does anyone know when my card will be charged and I’m assuming it will only move to “ready for pick-up” the day before?

Anyone that ordered for in-store pickup still seeing this?
Hmm no, mine has corrected itself (in UK at least).
Edit: Out of interest, can you download the apple wallet pass? I can, and the details are in there. If you can't, or can and the contents make no sense, maybe drop them a line?

I've exactly the same, mine shows status "processing". I believe it will only change on thursday or even friday morning. Charge likely wednesday or thursday (I've only had the 0.01p pre-order) (UK)

I’ve literally had nothing, not even showing up pending on my card.

Due to pick it up at 9am on Friday morning (also UK), so hoping it will definitely be there!
