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

Seriously, I think @TheYayAreaLiving pushed me over the edge to upgrade this year, too. I skipped S5 - but after this year's iPhone 13 Pre-order thread, I can't stop myself. It's interesting to see how elated we all are when the charge for the watch finally posts to our CCs...not too many other groups out there so happy to be letting 💸💸💸 🤣
I was happy when I saw you also pre-ordered the watch. Your gonna love it. The bigger screen is a nice change.

Question is are you getting yourself a Beautiful beast MacBook Pro. It’s about to be unleashed this Monday. The biggest upgrade of this year. 🙇‍♀️

My delivery date just got changed to 3–5 business days!!!
I checked my order this morning and it had changed from processing to preparing to ship and still had a delivery date of October 15. For some reason I checked it again a few minutes ago and now it is back to just processing and it says the delivery date is October 27 to the 29th. So disappointed!
 
@LFC2020 Yes! I do. They hold up pretty well. Very comfortable and you can change the size based on what you preferred. The magnets are also very strong. So, durable. However I’m ready for that Graphite Milanese Loop.

Don’t mind the stuck dirty sweat, dirt and sweat flesh. It’s gross 🤢 I know. I tried scrubbing it off but it won’t come off.

🙏🙏🙏

Damn! You cleaned out the whole store.👌 😂

Thanks for the feedback, will definitely be on my watch band shopping list in the future.
 
Anyone else have there shipment change from preparing to ship to a later date? I ordered at 8:05 am on release day a 45 mm midnight and now it’s gone from October 15 to Oct 18 to now back to processing and Oct28-Nov1.

Mine still shows the 15th, also 45mm midnight; had you been charged/pending charge already? I got charged about 11 hours ago so IDK if others who have had their dates change were as well, if so this is kind of jacked up on Apples part.

I’ve been charged in full to my credit card. No reversal listed either now.
 
Folks! If you are a victim of delivering being changed to 3-5 business days or OCT 26-28. Hang tight! I’m still waiting for a movement on my Apple Watch. Apple just can’t keep up with the demand or they started the production way too late. I wish OCT 22nd should have been the Apple Watch delivery date for all of us.

Yeah it’s disappointing I guess but definitely not the end of the world.

I clearly don’t care as much as the people in here tracking the flights their watches are on every 10 minutes so better for a delay to happen to me I suppose. I think some in here would have a rough time at it 😂
Yep initially really annoyed, but now ya, not the end of the world. Annoyed more at them charging me for it on Monday and then changing the delivery date. Oh well.

It could change back. These things are very fluid.
 
Friday 15th. Apple should know how much it can deliver before placing orders
Ouch! Sorry to hear. I assume they are having unexpected yield issues, not that it makes it any less frustrating. In other words, they assume they can make 1,000 watches per line per day and allow preorders to that level (with some safety factor no doubt) but then they can only make 700 or have to put a whole lot on hold for rework. Now they are short of promised inventory and in this current jam.

I work with suppliers for my job. I guarantee you Apple is putting immense pressure on them to get things sorted and running well, especially if it’s now causing them to miss promised delivery dates. Stuff is real weird right now in the world though so all bets are off.
