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

Ordered a SS 45mm Graphite watch with carrier (EE) . It hasn’t moved and I’ve contracted their customer support to get the line “it will be up to a max 28 days” , no movement on their tracker and no DPD movement either , although someone said they may have put the “fake” watch number into the delivery information and therefore I’m receiving no updates, seems fairly unlikely I’ll be getting one today but until 11am or so I keep a tiny bit of hope.
 
I’m hoping to get a slot soon as I paid for morning VIP delivery. Usually get the same driver, but it’s always mid afternoon and I start work at 12.30.
I’ve never used VIP delivery with DPD, you should definitely get the morning slot if you asked for it.

Due to client meetings, I’m working in London today not home so my better half will have to sign for mine when Piotr arrives!

Anyone help?

UK here. Got an SMS alert from DHL yesterday and watch is in China as ‘item picked’ but no official delivery date by them available yet. Apple Store tells me it’s October 21.

However, up until this morning my payment on my card has been pending, now though it’s completely disappeared from my bank statement and the money seems to be back in my account, not just floating there waiting to be removed by Apple.

Anyone know what’s going on or have the same? I paid by Apple Pay and all my payment details are correct and I certainly have enough dosh in my account!!!

Apple Store still shows my order is shipped and being delivered next week…
Its fine - what happens is the pre-auth has dropped off the pending part (thats your banks choice), but apple still have up to 30 days to "claim" the preauth.
Its going to ship soon, chances are they will put through the final claim in the next day or so (you may see another alert first or you may just see it appear taken on the online statement)

(ps - talking from a lot of experience with HSBC and a number of apple orders I'm not willing to divulge the count of as I'm too embarrassed :D)
 
Ordered a Graphite 45mm with Abyss Blue Sport Band from John Lewis this morning for delivery tomorrow. (4 in stock at time of ordering).

My Apple 'awaiting to ship' order that still states 27-29 delivery will be returned if I can't cancel.

Didn't want the Solo Loop band coming with the Apple order. That, the tomorrow delivery and the extra year warranty with JL was the better choice.
 
@Boardiesboi took them pics you wanted that show off the bezels, WOW!!! they are tiny in real life. 👌 hope these are enough. 🤔😂

Thanks a lot for the reassurance!

I want to see pics of the screen from an angle to see what the display looks like through the edges.
 
Honestly, it’s still in the box 🤦‍♂️😂 using a belkin 3-1 MagSafe charger, a tech site confirmed it’s aluminum now.

Good choice! I love my Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe charger. Although I don’t think it supports the new fast charging, I’m happy with the current charging speed anyway.
