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

Ok, my watch wants some new scenery. Let’s go!

Wow that’s crazy. So either no stock of the variant you ordered or the few in stock went crazy fast. I ordered a 45mm silver stainless steel with dark cherry solo loop on Saturday at like 2pm and have a Nov 3rd-10th delivery estimate.
Dark cherry loop is also a popular color. I ordered a loop band almost 2 weeks ago and there was only 1 available in Las Vegas.

Odd thing was they were same variant. The only difference/mistake was payment method...

Anyone know how updating my current S4 to 8.0.1 will affect if I want to transfer watchOS from the S4 to the S7 on Friday. I could always set up as new, though.

I've had quirks in the past trying to restore iPhones when the new iPhone was on one dot release older, had to update new iPhone (set up as new) to update to the new OS dot release and then restore again from backup.
 
Anyone in Canada receiving Stainless Steel this Friday?

I’m interested in this as well. I had an aluminum ordered by 8:01am on Friday and didn’t even check the SS. Now I ordered an SS on Saturday and I’m wondering if I could have even ordered and received an SS by Friday.

I have never heard anyone ordering SS so far in Canada and no Apple Store in Ontario were available for pickup as soon as order opened. I didn't see the delivery date, but it's odd that all of them were unavailable, no?

Yep it’s super odd. I saw a lot of aluminum available and there are some 41mm SS available but I’ve yet to see any availability for 45mm SS.

Apple told me to check store stock on Thursday night or Friday morning. Hopefully some comes available by then for others. I’m personally too lazy to go to my apple store so I’ll wait until Nov 3rd or whenever my SS shows up. My aluminum product red will have to keep me company until then lol

Im pretty sure I saw SS for delivery for Oct 15th when I ordered. I am in Ontario, Canada. Ended up ordering 45mm Natural Titanium though. Email confirmation at 8:02am and delivery is Oct 15th.

I ordered a SS 45mm Graphite in the afternoon of Oct 8 for In-Store Pickup this Friday Oct 15. I checked nearly every combination and it appears that only the Graphite SS with Abyss Blue Sport Band was available at nearly all stores. Just checked now and a few stores in Ontario still showing Available Oct 15.
 
My midnight or whatever is supposed to come Friday. But my stainless is Nov...
Gonna go to the apple store next week and see which I like better. Normally I would have ordered the SS as my S3/4/6 were SS but this year update wasn't really an update. Can I live without Aluminum watch fora year or so...

When does apple update the in-store stuff? Maybe I can try to snag a SS graphite on launch day... Also maybe snag an iPad mini 256 Cellular

Graphite SS and Abyss is the standard offering globally in countries where you can’t choose the band …… I assume there are plenty of these ready to go rather than custom combinations.

Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the band in-store?

Were you able to track what plane is due to fly out next?
I can’t figure out where it’s going I’ve been trying to track it also out of Shanghai but I don’t know if it’s going to go to Korea or fly around Asia more or just go straight to Anchorage. I was hoping to get a departure scan which I have not gotten which would help figure out where it’s going. But nope I’m still sitting around in Shanghai.

@Boardiesboi any movement on that watch of yours? Any chance you’ll get it on launch day? Want to see plenty of photos, love the apple & Hermes partnership. 👌 not the price tag though. 🤦‍♂️😂

Please tell me you don’t buy the Hermes bands as well. 😳👇 they do look hot though. 🤦‍♂️
