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

Have a silver and graphite SS waiting for pickup and I’m deciding between the two. I’m really thinking about the modern buckle which has silver lugs, so I’m wondering how that might look w the graphite…Can I ask what you prefer about the graphite vs silver?
Edit: gorgeous watch btw!!
I think it’ll take more strap combos than either my ss or sbss, it looks to me like the titanium but shiny instead of matt.

Also like my sbss, this graphite won’t scratch/wabi sabi like the pure steel one does almost straight away :)
 
My pending payment (Halifax) has also gone and funds seemingly returned to available balance.
Mine has shipped and due to be delivered on Tuesday on the Apple app, but 'Please check later for scheduled delivery" on UPS website.
Last update was last night that it is being forwarded to destination city (from Shanghai).
I don't suspect I'll get another update now till in the UK.
I’m also Halifax - but spoke to an Apple helper today by message who reassured me that payment is settled with Apple so I don’t think you need to worry.

My DHL tracking still says just China and that they’ve picked the item up! When I go to my Apple store order it said arriving 21 October (Thursday) this morning but now it’s changed to ‘arriving soon’!! So I’ve no idea still when it’ll come. Hope you get yours Tuesday :)

Just arrived.
 
For the 19th time I had decided not to get one. Then I see the Apple store 2 hours away has a Graphite for pick up. I still pass. Now 4 hours later I find out I will be 20 minutes from that store tomorrow and it still shows in stock. Apple is working voodoo to take my money. At this point if I don’t buy it I might have 7 years bad luck.
 
Eventful morning. First stop was the UPS CC to pick up my Al watch that I now can return since I snagged a graphite SS model for in-store pickup. From the UPS CC I took the few minute drive over to my local Apple Store and got there a few mins before they opened at 10:00. They ushered me in from a line of about 15 people and it was a simple process to get my new watch and return the other one. It just finished setting up and it seems awesome so far. I like the heft of the stainless for sure and it’s a beautiful color. Excited! 🤩
Wearing the same combo now. I really like the abyss blue color with the graphite.

Just get it. You only get to live once. You are going to love the Apple Watch :)
 
Will do. I’ve heard mixed reports (some have suggested it has to be a band of equal value). Also not a big deal to sell the duplicate band, but we’ll see.
Doesn't sound good for me then haha. I want to swap out an abyss blue sport band for a dark cherry braided solo loop. Good luck to you! 🤞
 
Welp! FedEx just changed my AT&T delivery to pending 😭 It shipped yesterday with overnight delivery but there was a delay out of TX it seems. So tempted to pick up one in store as there are many available...trying to be patient but I may cave.
Yeah same thing happened to me but it did make it out of Texas to Indianapolis and it hasn't left there yet. I keep checking Fedex to see if they have updated it yet. I'm still hopeful it maybe delivered tomorrow. :(
 
I am so happy I returned the Starlight Silver Aluminum for the SS Silver. (Pic doesn’t do it justice) By the time the store opened there were close to 20 people (walk-ins) outside and all of them were able to get a watch.

45mm that came with Nike Black Sport Loop. I’m really digging this Ironstone Sport band. Also picked up Cargo Khaki Sport Band and Pure Platinum Sport Loop.
Congratulations! It looks amazing! Really digging the Ironstone black sport loop. I bet it’s very comfortable and durable during work outs :)

Love the combo! Probably my favorite so far. We need to convince @LFC2020 to get the Milanese stainless steel loop. I don’t know why he didn’t pick it up yesterday, smh! He just can’t get it together, poor fella 😂
