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

Supposed to be collecting mine from store on Friday but COVID just scuppered that plan. 😞

Anyone know if they hang onto it for awhile if you don’t collect?
Okay had a read - it says "only you or the person designated by you may pick up the items purchased". blah blah "you must provide the name and email address of the third party and the third party will need to bring a form of identity and order number for collection" blah blah apple not liable for actions of third party after collection.

It suggests you can somehow nominate a collection person? (you may need to ring them, or perhaps edit the order, i see in my collection i have a section "pickup contact" with my name, mobile, and email. And an option to "edit" that part of the order details (suggesting I could name someone else to collect).

Yes, this option is offered to you during the checkout process. Always a good thing, to have a backup person. I chose to go in person, one more reason to browse through the nice stuff there.
 
I’ve read that the embargo will be lifted at 9 am Eastern time on Wednesday the 13th. I’m looking forward to iJustine’s review of the starlight watch and the pink chalk band
So that will be 3pm for me. Thank you.
 
Thanks! Should I just unpair my current watch first, or are their extra steps before unpairing. I am sure it will walk me through it when I start the process. Just trying to see what I can find out before starting. lol.
Transferring is about half way down this page. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207578
As suggested, wait until you’re ready to give up your current watch and unpair it by erasing all settings and contents. There will be an option to “Remove cellular plan”. This process will then backup your watch to your phone. I plan on doing a full restore first with everything. And then activate cellular on my new watch once it’s all setup. I worry it gets wonky when you try to do a backup restoration and a cellular activation at the same time.
 
This is somewhat off topic , but I am finding it tough to sell my Series 6 titanium as a lot of sites don’t even have the titanium models as a selection and some don’t have Series 6 as a selection.
They may have it under "watch edition" (which others don't use in the selection). I used CEX, who offer a mean price, but it was an easy sale, money hit my account today.

Yes and it appears you can change it. Of course, this assumes the "OP" has a contact who can collect and they trust :)

Anyone who can collect it for you? In the UK at least, i think you can nominate someone else to collect?
Sadly not. There’s only really my partner I could ask and that’s where I caught COVID from! 😩

From a previous apple store pickup email - you have 14 days from when it’s ready for pickup. You should verify this when you get your watch pickup email, but it’s pretty standard for them I think.

How long do I have to collect my order?​

We will hold your items for 14 days, after which they will be cancelled and refunded.

Thanks. I checked the email and even looked at the Ts and Cs but couldn’t see anything.

When my brain fog has settled, I’ll try calling to double check.
 
My order confirmation email arrived at 8:11 (I completed the order several minutes before that) but it currently says Nov 2-9 delivery. My Apple card still has a pending charge for the full amount minus the amount I had in my Apple account balance and the money was taken from my Apple account within hours of placing the order. For a while Friday evening it said my order was preparing to ship but has since gone back to processing. If it isn’t shipping this week, would the pending charge still be there and would the money be returned to my Apple account balance?

I don’t think they will restore your account credit but the pending charge will probably fall off after several days.
 
Not me, and there are many others like me I'm sure. The main reason I bought S5 was because of AOD. Trying to turn my wrist the right way on my S3 to get the screen to show got real annoying real fast.
AOD is the reason why I have an Apple Watch....I wouldn't have one w/o it.

itsworthmore.com will offer you $250 for it, that is $50 less than before the announcement event in Sept.

I've sold a couple devices there before (iPhone and AW 5 Ti) No issues.

That assumes they have any in stock. Have you seen evidence they will (SS or Ti)?
Playing online with some band combinations I saw a few SS graphite watches for in store pick up on launch day. This was for different locations in Germany.. Don’t know other countries.

Ouch - 339 GBP - 461 USD - in the UK for the same device (at a company called WeBuy / CEX)

Could you give me hint which SS model and band combinations are available?
