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

That’s a good point. Well, it was a sketchy rumor. Maybe it was Apple all along who initiated that sketchy rumor to get people hyped up and exciting. This is exactly what’s happening. People are talking about it. It will lead to more attention without even advertising. It’s pure marketing!

Is there going to be a notch? My answer is: Nope, very unlikely. 👎
I hope you’re right, can’t wait for my 120hz, mini led, MagSafe, Face ID beast of a machine. 🤤😁😂

Cross the Face ID. If you are asking for a Face ID expect a notch. 😂

I think what’s gonna happen is we are going to illuminated fingerprint scanner. Instead of a stupid notch
 
Can you share the tracking history? Did it originate in China of Netherlands?

My DHL express has been picked up and sitting in China since Wednesday.
Looks like we're in the same boat. It doesn't mention China but we know it comes from China. Looks like NL is still waiting for it to arrive. 🤷‍♀️ I'm not bothered though.

Apple is taking phone calls on weekends now, call them right now, you might get someone who knows what’s going on. 👇

I called them this morning. The girl had no idea and said it might be waiting at the airport. I pressed her and she said she contacted DHL and they will investigate. Highly doubt she actually called them and just said that to blow me off.
 
Gave in and ordered from John Lewis (UK) as they have them in stock and it’s arriving on Sunday! Can’t wait!
Nice one! Yes John Lewis opened up at 7am yesterday with S7 orders, I noticed full stock briefly at 8am. I ordered myself the 45 inch Green, picking up today from my local Waitrose! Pre-ordered Midnight from Apple which arrived on time via Piotr @ DPD but that will be returned now.

I also hit Apple Regent’s Street to get a proper hands on. Both the Green & Midnight look black in certain like, especially darker light but under brighter light the Green pops a stunning Forest/Army type green colour & the Midnight pops a really nice blue hue. I think both are Apple’s halo colours this year along with Starlight which popped a silver & gold combo together.

You can’t go wrong buying from John Lewis. They’ll replace if any minor or major issues occur plus your backed up by their 2 years guarantee. Apart from Apple, they were the only UK retailer to have full stock on launch day. Have a feeling they’ll sell out of launch day stock by end of today.

On the UK Apple site, most S7 versions are now slipping to late November to early/mid December delivery dates. Titanium is this years unicorn!

I’m now going to be buying a selection of different straps over the next few months starting with the Sequoia green leather.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting for their S7 to arrive in both the UK & USA!

All depends on who you get, first time they offered to send me a replacement watch band, then I changed my mind, second time they said no, they can only replace the whole watch, told them you were more than happy to replace the band during my first phone call, they put me through to someone else, they finally agreed to replace the band LOL. 🤦‍♂️

Why replace a perfectly working watch, it’ll cost them more in the end. 🤦‍♂️😂

Luck of the draw mate, haven’t received that replacement email by the way. 😂

Yet another point for the "sell the straps separately!"

Well, LaunchDay is over (d+1)
Only 32 days until my Ti should be delivered by. Glad I went for an interim.

Only reason why I’m exchanging it, my size 8 solo loop is a lot looser than my other solo loop, shouldn’t be that loose especially when it’s brand new, hopefully going one size down fixes the issue.

So here’s my Graphite SS I just picked up

first pic is of the stock abyss blue sport band. Into my massive container of bands that guy goes lmao

2nd pic my baby…shell cordovan e3 band in color #8

3rd pic is my other baby….reverse shell cordovan e3 band (basically it’s the reverse of the leather roll)

I tried the new watch face with numbers on the border…it’s aight but I’m an Infograph man lol

Red Aluminum with red braided loop still out for delivery. I’ll post pics of that once I get it and set it up.
Still the best watch face IMO

I caved today and ordered both Green and Dark Cherry. 🤪
Woo hoo! You beat @LFC2020 He is being super cheap tonight, LOL! He bought a new M1 Mac... iPhone 13 128GB, new Apple Watch and he's over here worrying about Green and Black AW loop, SMH!

I told him to order two of them and then decide later. But he's fighting over $100.00. He's up to something... pretty sure he will be getting them for free :).

He also doesn't want to get a Milanese Loop in Stainless Steel. He just bought a stainless steel watch...

I told him to get a mid-night green loop. He's over here ordering a black loop. He's not listening to me tonight, LOL!

Thank you for a thoughtful post @Supersonicc

@LFC2020 you need to read this! Titanium is this years unicorn. Be prepared for next year!!!

Already made your list for 2022 Apple products.

iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB (Matte Black)
Apple Watch Series 8 in Titanium (Space Black)
Toilet Paper and Milk (Must have)

More to come...
 
I hope not! I’m gonna cry if it takes that long. I knew I should’ve gone with Nike but noooooooo I just had to have blue. 🤦‍♀️
Your chances might be better if you check local Apple Stores. Keep us posted.

All good though! If you are not happy with it RETURN IT.
 
My UPS tracking has not moved since the Watch arrived in Shanghai. It’s been sitting there since Thursday. UPS have now removed the delivery date time slot, previously the 19th.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you see some movement soon. Stay Strong!

Cheap? 🤔😂 iPad Pro, iPhone, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, most of these products cost almost double what they cost you in the US.

No more watch bands for me, maybe a sports loop for summer, then I’m done lol.

I won’t go anywhere near metal watch bands, they’ll scratch my watch case.
