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

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!
That might just be the way that HSBC shows notifications. There's nothing in the HSBC app showing pending, it just popped up at point of ordering. It was Apple Pay to a debit card in my case.
Collecting from Basingstoke Apple store myself.
 
Anyone have any thoughts on the October 26-28 delivery timeframe? I ordered 45MM Space Black Titanium with Dark Cherry Braided Solo Loop. I recieved the confirmation email at 8:02 EDT and still got a date of 10/26-10/28.
Anyone have a similar experience?

I had my order confirmation at 13:01 and am still showing 19th-21st
 
My Hermes series 6 is at 96% battery health after 1 year.
My S6 is at 84% (launch day)

Yeah our resident Apple Goddess, @TheYayAreaLiving watch is that timeframe :)
 
My graphite aluminum S7 has shipped. Have the tracking number... coming via UPS from Jiaxing China, with Friday delivery.

For those playing at home, the UPS "reference numbers" no longer include a phone number... but it does include the full Apple order number - in the past, it typically truncated the last 2 or 3 digits from the Apple order number.

13:02 here (UK), mine is second week of November :(. 45mm True titanium, blue braided solo loop.
I'm hoping the dates might come back a bit after the initial launch is over (they're always pessimistic on shipping capabilities, I've often had dates come forward).

Mean time, I'm getting an aluminium model (as I stupidly sold my S6 early for best price) which will be passed on to family.

Mine includes my phone number among about 6-7 other reference numbers (including full order number)
 
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...
I sleep with mine and do 3 hours of work/day, but I go easy on the complications and turn off always-on and rise to wake. My S6 is showing 99%.

My S6 Hermes, 11 months old is at 98%. AOD is permanently off, no sleep tracking, 1-2 hours of exercise daily.
 
Ugh, my launch day delivery pre-order is still processing, still cancellable, and no pending charge even showing on my card 😕

Anyone else in a similar situation?
No- charged, tracking email sent, tracking active and moving. This has been the most information I've ever received this early on a preorder!

It seems that this time when I do order and the only option is to have it delivered, I don’t get to have my travel buddy—11/2-9. 🥺 I’m seriously hoping that it will be delivered by FedEx. Guess I’ll have to wait until next year’s iPhone launch to have my seat mates back. 😁
@beach bum, Not to worry! Some of us are still here. We are just traveling in different times this time around. Yes, expecting ALL to join for iPhone 14 launch. We will all reunite again 😱

@LFC2020 that 1TB is coming for you. Hope you are saving mad Australian $$😆

That graphite with an Abyss Blue Sport Strap? Looks like the pin is graphite too in that pic.
It's Graphite with the Midnight Sport Strap. I bought the Abyss Blue in Store last week. I might return it and get the Graphite Milanese Strap.

This will be my first time upgrading a cellular version to another cellular version. I have Verizon as a carrier. Any tips on how to do this?
