⌚️🌎 Apple Watch Series 7 Pre-Orders/Order Status/Delivery Status Thread 2021 (Worldwide) 🌏⌚️

[MLVC]

Good morning & happy taco Tuesday!

I just woke up. Currently it is 6:31PM. Las Vegas, Nevada. Congratulations to those who are out of China. Looks like you were headed to Japan. Majority of the people will see tracking being updated today. Since there’s only 3 days left till you receive your Apple Watch. This week is flying and going by so fast. I hope everyone is going to have a good day. Stay blessed!

Good morning from The Netherlands. Unfortunately my SS won't be here until early November. And I'm not known for my patience, ha!

Its a really weird strap launch this year - as mean time in UK store, that combination isn't even available apparently...?

To be honest, it doesn't make sense. If I choose SS graphite and a tornado/gray sport loop, it shows unavailable for pickup on 10/15. However, if I choose the same watch but a different sport band, it shows available. What makes zero sense is that I can choose the tornado/gray sport loop for pickup (just the band) on 10/15, and the same watch but with a different band for 10/15, so their system is totally out of wack.

Consider yourself lucky, some watches are delayed till December now

Yeah saw that, they all very suddenly dropped back 2 weeks. I'm wondering if Apple is switching its production lines. October? Stainless Steel? early November - Titanium. Late november - something else. Would make sense if there is supply issues, to switch about as supplies arrive.
Tim Cook was a master of production of course.

That said, the case vs strap stuff is bizarre!

Finally (hopefully) getting my first Apple Watch. Any hints/tips for a first time user ?

Officially nervous mine won’t arrive on Friday. Hasn’t been updated to Preparing for shipment. I know apple is usually good to their word like it’s been with every preorder arrival date but the clock is ticking if there is no movement today….

Personally I’m not a fan of case vs strap. Because if your ⌚️ strap is facing a delay your Watch will be delayed by default. I just wish during pre-order times Apple sells them separately but that’s not the case at all. It’s all messed up 😂

Can you imagine how limited titanium iPhones are going to be next year?

Have you checked on MYChoice on my UPS?

Have you checked on MYChoice on my UPS?

Yep. Nothing yet

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Yep. Nothing yet

Hopefully it shows up today

Mine hasn't moved from Shanghai yet.

I wonder if it’s because the final destination is Canada. But I’d imagine not. It would follow the same path the other watches are to Tennessee and from there go to Canada.

Still, I ordered the moment preorder started. But it will be November soon enough and maybe it will be delivered sooner. Who knows really.

I’m hoping after this Friday the dates really move up. Apple is just taking its sweet time haha! Are you getting it on early November or mid?

Europe or US?
In most of europe, local fulfilment centres handle the final delivery, and so when I order in UK, for launch day it normally dispatches thursday for delivery friday.

Morning to all😁 got movement today

2-9 November, never saw an earlier date really.

Try this one:

It's 45mm silver SS with this band.

OHHH! I definitely did not think that doing the Watch Studio would result in In Store pick up as I thought they were all custom ordered.
Appreciate the heads up on the combo, have one set up for Friday! Even though I'm not a fan of the starlight band.

Wait, Titanium iPhones!!! Do you have a link for that rumor?

Mine hasn't moved yet either! Mine isn't headed to Canada though, just to Illinois. Since the final destination in the US is Louisville, I'm only about 5 hours from there. Hopefully we'll see movement today!

More evidence that apple really should allow the case and straps to be bought separately. Where's that eco-thinking gone?

Anyone spots any titanium combinations for friday, feel free to let us know (after you've reserved yours of course )

It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one. Reading through this thread, it felt that way, ha.

Hopefully some movement soon.

I got lucky and was able to promise a late October date for space black titanium model. The supplies were very limited.

Ok, thank you. At least I know that I'm not alone. 🙂 My non-Nike 45mm Midnight is in the same situation. They haven't even charged me for it yet. 🤷‍♂️
