It's here! 41mm Blue with Maize/White Sport Loop. And a couple bonus pictures next to the Series 3 38mm I'm upgrading from. Such an upgrade!

I ordered a 45 mm midnight aluminum with midnight sport band with delivery supposed to be today. My card was charged days ago, but it stills says preparing to ship and has changed to "Arrives 3-5 business days." Bummed. :(
This is my status, it was changed late Wednesday evening after saying it would be here today. They say they have everything for my order, if that’s the case then just ship it already.

Well, my Series 7 is currently having watchOS 8.0.1 installed. I went to the Apple Store and traded in my Series 6. It was convenient, but took a while as they had to cancel my order and redo it with the discount. The old order still hasn't dropped off my Apple Card yet. It just installed so now I reset it via the watch so it doesn't create a backup. Now it's time to restore from a backup. Turns out it created a backup, but I'm using the one I created at the store before I turned in my Series 6.

Thank you. I am actually blown away by how good it looks. I absolutely love the Milanese band especially with the stainless steel watch! I also love the wieght of it as well. Once you go SS, youll never go back. @LFC2020 You gotta get the band!!
I got the Graphite SS with the Midnight Sport Band. I also bought the Graphite Milanese Loop for my watch. The Sport Band will be for everyday use.

How did you get that with a black solo loop?! They have been removed from the website.
 
I haven’t had time to catch up on thread but I was able to complete ISPU of Series 7 and complete my trade of older Apple Watch instore . They already credited my payment so I’m glad not to deal with mail in trade in

Ok, I have my Apple Store app reloaded and still no change from delivery date of 11/2-9. Currently stalking my local Apple Stores to see if I can score a SS 45mm. At this point, I don’t care what band or size I get, just so long as I can get that beautiful SS 45mm. 🙏 😁😍🤩
 
Just got home with my s7! Turns out, going to the store for pickup was the smart thing for me to do. I had ordered online the midnight w red band but I really wanted the Nike midnight, so, when I asked the rep if they might have one in stock he looked on his iPad and sure enough they did! So,did the exchange and off I went!!!🎉

In and out of the  store with my 45mm SBTi.

They let me swap the band I’d ordered no questions asked, even encouraged me to do it with my wife’s watch when it gets delivered.

I had to settle for an abyss blue sport band as they were out of the Leather Links in almost all colors.

They had stock available in lots of different cases, but no 41mm Gold Stainless.
 
I tried some with my first watch. Either the fell down or had bubbles ! I gave up and never had a scratch. Maybe they do something better now ?
My experience exactly. Bubbles, trapping water or moisture underneath it. Plus, even the transparent ones take away from the beauty of the color/case. Nah, I went without any protection for my AW S4 and it's in pristine condition.

Edit to add I was talking about both protective cases and screen protectors.

Wow, that cool they did that for you!
 
The keyboard is quite fun to use on the watch.
It is but for the life of me I can’t figure out how or even if it’s possible to switch languages. I tried everything I could think of , even changing regions and language on the phone.

It’s not really a big deal as just dictating works great. But inquiring minds like to know 😉

On the phone I have two languages ( French and English ) but keep QWERTY for both , not to get mixed up. It’s totally bilingual and I can mixe both languages while tipping. Exactly the way I speak 😂

I wish I could justify the Stainless steel or Titanium, but I am one of the odd folk that upgrades every year and they do not have a good resell value locally.

I had Series 0 and 2 in SS, and loved them.


First-world issues, right?

Go with the titanium model. It has a stealthy look, very classy and elegant. It has a very premium feel to it.
