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

Once I gave them my new S7 EID and he swapped it over on their end, I went into the iPhone app mobile data and instead of 003 it just went straight trough without any errors, literally didn't do anything else. To check all was working I disabled my iPhones wifi and bluetooth as well as the watch wifi and the EE cellular kicked in just fine. Best thing to do is speak to someone else as some agents seem to have issues transferring the plans properly.

Called 150 then 1, 2, 1, 1, 2
Just one thing, when you unlinked the old watch, did you click on "remove data plan" or "keep data plan"? There are contradicting steps out there.
 
Swapped one S6 plan to the S7 on EE with very little hassle this year, called 150 and went through to their technical department and said I had the error code 003, I simply gave the person my new EID only and that was it, never even rebooted my watch or phone and the whole process took about 15mins.

EE last year were a pain in the ass as she had no idea what to do and I was the one who had to explain how to do it, took almost an hour last year.
Actually just did it and very painless.

I am keeping my 5, but the EE guy said to unpair (which i did) gave him the new EID and within 5 mins is was activated. Kept the same 5 plan
 
Picked this up at 7:30 from my CC, then had to go to work. Made it with only seconds to spare. Set it up at work and took some quick pics (please excuse quality). Oh and the watch band I ordered with the watch didn’t go with what I was wearing so this is an old one. Sorry!

My 45mm midnight is waiting for me back home. Having seen some of the photos, I’m wondering whether I should have gone starlight!

Anyone still have Preparing to Ship on theirs? I was given an initial Oct 15 estimate but it changed to 3-5 Business Days two days ago. :(
Mine never changed to preparing to ship. Still stuck on processing and showing that delivery is today 🤣

I have called Apple this morning and the rep had no idea what was going on. She said probably something to do with my CC but the CC is working just fine. She escalated the case to the payment department.

They will contact me within two business days. So at the earliest i will receive it next week.

I will politely tell them i am not happy with this shitsh0w. I am wondering if they will compensate me in some way for this delay.

Nope, everything is coming up unavailable. Sometimes they have in-store stock that they don't list for pickup though, you might call when they open.
I was in the store on Monday to replace AirPods and they told me no advantage to show up at the store if nothing showed up online. I just checked OKC BB and almost nothing is available today.

I was on the phone with Apple just now. They said there was a delay with international orders and I should see an update on my order status soon. Also he said if I don’t see any update by end of Monday (!) I should call them again on Tuesday.

I asked them about compensation and that I have been ordering Apple products for years etc., so he said he’ll see what he can do. After a few minutes he said he talked to the manager who said there is nothing they can do, and that “shipping delays do happen.”

So sorry to hear, Shipping delays do happen. Correct, but see if Apple can compensate by offering a free band or something. I’m sure they can :)

If it helps, mine just changed to arrived at facility like 10 seconds ago. UPS making me look dumb 😅 If yours is coming to OKC/central US then yours might have updated too.
Yeah I got confirmation it’s on the truck for delivery in OKC. It said it was delayed because of weather. Looks like a tornado almost hit the ground at the airport. There’s a bunch of damage at some hangars. Surprised they got them unloaded.
