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

Sad to see you go S7 but had to cancel you. Apple royally messed up the shipping (originally had an October 15th delivery until last night where it changed to 27th-29th). The rep acknowledged their internal shipping address hiccup and apologized. Super nice guy.

Going to try and get it in-store tomorrow. Wish me luck 🤞🏼🍀

Already contacted them. 50% off is all they offered... NOT :p They pretty much gave me the run-around and pasted a standard platitude, suggesting I sit tight. Not impressed :mad:
“Thank you, NizNoz. It’s awesome that you’re so excited for your new watch. I would be too! Right now because the new Apple Watch Series 7 is so amazing, so many people want one! We are making them as fast as we possibly can but I understand why you would be disappointed to wait! Don’t worry, we will do everything we can to get to you as fast as we can!”

…how’d I do?

Hey, Frump
What did you think of the WorkoutDoors app the other day?

For those looking to get the most per day from the battery, I suggest you keep the watch in theater mode. It will make a big difference if you do. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to do a second charge during the day, especially if you do workouts, get a lot of texts or other notifications like RSS feed alerts from MR :D

So having the map is awesome. I struggled to see what I wanted to easily but maybe I need to tweak the information displayed. I definitely missed the simplicity of physical buttons instead of trying to swipe while bouncing around.

I think the Garmin is a better running watch but I’m going to try again with the S7 and see if the bigger screen changes my mind. Still appreciate the recommendation because it’s a cool app nonetheless and it’s nice to support devs making cool apps.

You can customize the different running screens and many other tweaks you can make to customize to your liking.
 
UK Store pickup tomorrow morning.

Just received an email from the Apple Store to confirm pickup tomorrow.

Interestingly money still pending.
Opposite for me. Money is now cleared, but no email confirming pick up. My pick up isn’t till the afternoon, though. I’m sure we’ll all get all the things soon, though. I don’t think there will be any issues. Tomorrow, we’ll be enjoying our new watches!
 
So my tracking number shows up now on the UPS website but it tells me to check back tomorrow for an estimated delivery date. I’m supposed to get it tomorrow 🤦‍♂️ They are going to keep me in suspense until I have it in my hands 😂

Honestly a little disappointed I haven’t been able to track it all along. Oh well…as long as it actually shows up tomorrow.
 
Mine still hasn’t moved from China. I have a sneaky suspicion that it’s already stateside. Seems like one year my iPhone didn’t move then the day it arrived all of a sudden all the tracking info was there. I may be wrong, but I think this might be what has happened.
Just saw this
