I’m very shocked you guys are still in lockdown. The whole lock down ended is U.S. long time ago. They are just mandating vaccines and asking people to wear a mask at all times
US has learnt to live with the virus. Aussies and Kiwis are going for zero virus policy, something they can afford because they have very low population.

2 ~ crore Aussies

60 lacs ~ Kiwis.

That’s a very good point. So many deaths reported because of the coronavirus across the U.S. it’s very sad.

NSW got to 70% double dose vaccination last week and most things reopened. Still some restrictions though.

Victoria where @LFC2020 is is not far behind and should come out of lockdown next week. They’re having around 2000 cases a day but probably a small number compared to the US states?

Hopefully @LFC2020 come out of the lockdown soon. He hates the fact he can’t go nowhere.
 
Originally tried to get my watch from Apple on 10/15 at 8:07 AM but it said 10/25 - 11/1. So I ordered my 45mm Midnight/Midnight band. At 8:10 AM on 10/15 I went over to BB website. First thing I noticed the pricing mistake. Same model listed at $399. Ordered it, it is now on my wrist. Thank you BB for honoring the price mistake and quick shipping. I have since cancelled my Apple order.
 
I still haven’t completely gotten past my Apple Store experience yesterday lol. So, I’m curious - did anyone else select Apple Card Monthly Installments with in-store pick up and in-store trade in? If so, what was your experience like, particularly regarding how the trade in was handled?

I selected ACMI with in-store pick up and in-store trade specificallly because it sounded like it would be very streamlined and seamless. The trade in amount gets applied up front to the cost of the new watch when placing the order, so no tracking refunds and no boxes to ship back. Just one transaction. But, my experience was messy at best.

Loving my new Apple Watch, though. Took her for her first bicycle ride today. ⌚️ + 🚴 = 👍
 
Day 2 with my SS silver S7, and the wow factor is still present. Damn I love this watch. The only thing I don’t like is if I’m in a dark room, the display won’t go to full brightness. When I walk out into the living room with bright sunlight the brightness kicks in. I wish there was a way to turn off what I’m assuming is a auto brightness feature??

Very nice! Glad you are loving your SS Watch. Does Apple Watch even have that auto brightness feature? I thought it didn’t?
 
@beach bum hows your presentation coming along? How many more pages?
I’m done. I’m too brain dead right now to do a final review. I’ll do a final review tomorrow after I get back from picking up my watch. If no edits needed, I‘ll submit.

One more week to go before this class is over… this class ends next week Sunday and my next starts on Monday. Four more classes to go and then I’m done😁

Yay! You’ve been working on it all day. Just take the night off and do a final review tomorrow. Tomorrow your new Apple Watch keep should keep you busy. Can’t wait :)

Yes, I hate not being able to see my apple products before purchasing them.

Apple can’t even get their colors right on their online store 🤦‍♂️ How are we meant to buy things without seeing them, the colors are way off. 🤦‍♂️

A presentation about how hideous the notch is on the new MacBook Pros. 🤔 Can’t wait till she hands it in to time cook. 🤦‍♂️😂
🤣 I wish! The presentation is about the auto industry (not that I had a choice about the topic) that I know nothing about, but surprisingly I’m doing very well. One more week to go for this particular class.

I agree. I don’t understand how they use renders and expect people to purchase them based on the renders. Maybe this is where the lenient return policy comes into play.

Really digging the midnight green loop but that’s a hard color to pull at all times.

Clover solo loop please, my stainless steel queen gets upset when you get the name wrong 😁😂

Was 50/50 on that combo, looks really nice in person, everyone has been asking me what the combo is.

Been told it brings out the color in my eyes. 😊😂

You are going to love it. They are very comfortable. Oh yeah, you will also be pressing the magnet pills around the band. It’s a habit you are going to create. You just want to pop them 😂

That is exactly why I stay with SS bands the most, although I do have a few leather neutral colors. I‘m really excited to see the bands in person tomorrow. Even though I had to go with the graphite Milanese, I’m going to see if I can swap it out for the silver. Not sure yet until I see it in person though.
