I’m guessing you’d pay the difference if you want a more expensive band/watch combo

The bands are sold separately now, even the series 7 ones.. so what if you were to purchase one today for in store pickup on Friday.. except you cancel that order when you get to store and exchange your watch purchase band for it.. know what I mean?
Quick question, are we updating our current watches before we get our S7’s? Sorry if this has been answered. Just link me to it, please.
I did also but when we get the 7 how will the backup work when not on the same os
I didn't get that latest scan so I guess we are going to be on different flights.
I wouldn’t. The watches from the factory won’t have the SW version Apple just released so it may cause extra work trying to upgrade. Especially because the headline release note was some fix for the AW3, it’s kind of a pointless update this close to a new device.
Our watches are on UPS 109. Just arrived in Tokyo and will go to Anchorage and on to Louisville.
My watch has left China and is now in Japan.
Just to be really clear, this year only the cable/puck comes in the box, and it’s now fast-charge. You need the plug-in wall adapter, and it needs to be at least 20w for fast charging.
9to5 Mac reported that Apple tested with an 18w adapter, but the info on the appl store page says 20w.

Still no change for me. Sitting on processing and no CC charge. I’m assuming mine is already in the states and will get tracking Wednesday or Thursday.
Just saw that I have the same scan in NRT! We're moving.
My neither and I’m not worried as they will charge at some point. I just focus more on ensuring that i can make it to my pick up window on timeI’ve a UK order for pick-up too and also not been charged.
I wouldn’t worry just yet
I wouldn’t worry about it. There will be no impact on restoring from a backup.
It’s no different to the iPhone 13. Apple released a software update just as our phones were shipping to us. Just set your watch up from your backup and then do the software update.
Waiting for this baby. Had to get in-store pickup if I wanted it on Oct 15. Otherwise, it would have been early November.
Someone may have posted this already, but some silver SS watches have been available for Friday 10-15 pickup in many of the Boston-area stores.
It's possible that the earlier page is a stale page that Apple didn't take down. For clarity, I'm not saying that is a fact in this case, only saying that it is possible. I have run into that a few times, which is super-odd for a big tech company. There are pages you can find with Google that are not as far as I could tell actually linked to any page that's currently on their store website.
I have AOD on - I've found leaving Hey Siri on for always listening and the new sound detection killed my AW so those are turned off on my watch.
Replying to self: looks like you have to return the watch and band then re-buy (is that a word?) the watch and new strap...there's another post that explains that something that comes from the "Your Style" section is bundled as a single SKU, so you (meaning me) probably can't break up the set, and if they don't have the watch you wanted in stock at the store, your choices are probably keep the watch with the strap you wanted to return/exchange, or return both but then basically go back to the end of the line waiting for the combination you wanted to become available. There's a good thread on this here.
I was wondering about the ability to return or exchange a strap that came as part of a watch/strap combo ordered under the "Your Style" section. In other words, a combination that's not on the store site as a regular configuration. (Example: the SS watches that are currently being sold for delivery on Friday with sport bands, which is not a regular configuration.)
It looks like if you purchased online (as we all did, that's the only way to purchase a watch before launch day) you probably won't be able to get the store to accept a "return" on the bundled band and exchange it for one you like better. But there's no penalty for asking.
