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

Okay... So here's the deal. Officially, most of the watches are digitial tied (in Apple's inventory) to a specific watch, so they won't let you swap them. I used to work at Apple, and I happened to get a very nice guy, who went through about 5 hoops and a manager's approval to let me swap the band. My hunch is that the orders made with the configurator might be swappable.
Thank you for the follow up! Seems like quite a few people were able to change their bands today. I’m hoping I have the same luck when I pick mine up tomorrow.
 
Doesn't look paler to me.
I don't know if paler is the right word, and those who've been following the "iPhone 12 warm" threads would know it's hard to get the difference to show in photos. But there is a difference for sure.

Here's a picture at an angle, I suppose this shows it a bit better. Also remember, what you're seeing in these pictures (or what may seem more white to you) depends on the screen you're viewing it on. To my naked eye S5 is "more white", but that could also be because that's what I've been used to for all these years.

That picture shows the Series 7 to be a more natural white and brightness versus your Series 5, in my opinion. The Series 5 looks overly saturated.

Mine just changed to out for delivery. Got from Indy to Baltimore to out for delivery in less 10 hours. They are moving!
Mine hasn’t been scanned yet - It’s coming to Richmond/Petersburg and then to me ….I’m kinda hoping the FedEx truck is going to roll up here anytime now. FedEx has been known to arrive really late on Fridays here (like after 8 pm). Fingers crossed!!
 
I have both the dark cherry and baltic blue for my gold SS and I plan to get the white one after seeing pics someone posted. The leather loops are awesome!
I agree! The white one looks very sleek. I'm not sure if it attracts dirt too easily. It will definitely require some extra attention and caring.
 
What am i missing?
