I’ve ordered gold ss, delivers on 1st November but now seeing there are gold ss and graphite to collect from store on 15th. I’m not sure whether I should stick to the gold or change to graphite. I’m worried the gold will be to “blingy” any advice appreciated

I had silver on order and just snagged a graphite for pickup. Cancelled the silver. I feel your dilemma.

Doesn't gold shows off scratches too easily?

I think that gold SS looks great with suits and smart wear in an evening out but a bit too flashy for casual.
 
It’s so hard, I have a space black series 3 just never upgrade cos I can’t decide on colour
I had the SSS before my STi. Always wished I stuck with the SSS, so I get it. I'd probably go Graphite before gold because IMO, the darker color which has a nice shine should go with more bands etc. I had that same Space Black. Always dug it. Figured the Graphite would be good middle ground this time out. Sadly, I drank the Apple Kool Aid years ago so I'll probably get the 8. A year or so with the SSG will be manageable :).

Trading in my S6 aluminium. I’d like a slightly larger display but mainly brighter for always on.

If you paid the full fee for AppleCare +, you can cancel it by calling AppleCare support and they'll send you a gift card for the difference in value. I do it all the time for my Apple gear when upgrading. Love it!
ّI have done this a lot and have always found it to be pain. I have always been on hold for a LONG time (maybe because I always do it around launch time), AND you do not get the full value back. Trying monthly for now on all my devices despite the fact that it is more expensive.

Correct, it's prorated. I think that's fair. It usually doesn't take me long. I just ask for the AppleCare Plan Management person to cancel a plan. If I sell my old gear on eBay or trade it in, depending on what deal I make with a buyer, I'm either using the AppleCare + as a sale incentive to a buyer, or cancelling and getting my money. I like the option :)

Why would you get the full value back?

So I’ve went for the graphite think it’ll be better, plus I ordered the wrong size strap with the gold so the thought of having to wait 3 weeks then return it was stressing me out. I’m happy with the graphite like you say I think it’ll be more subtle and go with more straps
 
Coming to hang out with you all now. I couldn't decide if I wanted to order since I have a series 6. Of course I missed out on launch day delivery. I was able to preorder from Target and use some gift cards. It says delivery Oct 18-21. I've never ordered any Apple devices from them so fingers crossed. I went with the Starlight 45mm.

I had the series 6 graphite and it worked well with a number of bands of different colours. That’s why I had no hesitation in ordering the series 7 in graphite

Congrats! I completely agree with you. Of course I had to ask my wife and all my friends which they thought I should get after I already preordered the SSS. They all said SSG ;/ Let's hope we're both beyond happy this Friday!
