Since your an expert. Do you think Apple can send you a replacement of a pouch? I wonder if they are available. Special request 😂
AO sent mine in a plastic mailer bag - the two man delivery crew had to move a massive TV and a fridge freeze once they’d located it in the van full of appliances - about ten minutes in total
Because it comes in a box they don’t often put it in another box to deliver it. My last few iPhones from 3 have been delivered just in a bag. My last one was from somewhere different and it was sent in a box. I suppose the Watch box is long and it’s quite tricky to fit in another box without loads of padding. Jiffy bags seem more convenient.
Regardless it looks amazing! Curious to find out which bands you are going to be rocking in the future. Have u considered Hermes bands?
I’m not cool enough to wear dark cherry lol
Reckon it looks better on the graphite and dark ti watches.
Not everyone is for purple, but I totally am. That dark red wine color gives an impression of royalty and mystique.
I would probably also get a braided loop in english lavender because it’s softer and more calming, as well as a leather link, sport band, and braided loop in dark cherry. All in my hypothetical dreams 😹.
You have not seen a dark titanium watches so you can’t really say that. SMH! Get yourself a dark cherry band. You will not be disappointed 😇
@LFC2020 If I send you a dark cherry one will you consider wearing it then? Or is it still a no?
Don’t think I’m that much of a expert, they aren’t sending my replacement till I send back the old band. 🤔😂
Hang in there. Atleast you don’t have to wait till end of next week. It’s unfortunate Apple’s own system was not reliable this timeSo my watch has gone from Shanghai to South Korea and due for delivery on Tuesday, whereas my elderly neighbour ordered his from Amazon for next day delivery! I had my order confirmation 1 minute after preorders went live as well.
He asked me to set it up for him last night, definitely a nice blue and screen looks great!
Ah well, he only has the sport band and I’ve got the sport loop
Are you kidding me. Call Apple and ask them how are you suppose to wear a watch without the band? Do they want you to wrap it around with rubber bands? Come on! Apple is on another level.
I am wearing the red braided solo loop now because it’s the new one but I feel like I’m going to go back to my Nike sport bands soon, so comfy. So, I will have to look for some more of them to go with the redcase. Hermes are nice but I think they look great with Hermes watch face. I was thinking of a Milanese band, just tried one on in the store today and it feels like heaven. Not sure though which one of them would look good with the red. I loved the graphite but I’ll have to think about it. Maybe try it again in the store and take some pics of it on my wrist with the red S7, to dissect them at home and decide.
Never had a fabric one, this is my second Apple Watch.
Very nice! I agree the graphite Milanese loop band would look awesome with red. The red will definitely pop out more. If you decide to get one get the graphite one. Can’t go wrong with red and black combination
They’ve been very good to me, next phone call will be for a courier pickup for my old band, got plenty of bands to use in the meantime.
Courier pickup is so much easier, no need to print a return label or drive anywhere, just write the return number on the packaging, all done.
Yes, on the packaging lol I did that on a $550 dollar iPad Pro magic keyboard lol.
Apple said it was fine lol.
I’m surprised they didn’t put a credit card hold on it. How long does it take for them to receive the band? Apple doesn’t trust their own customers 😂so much has changed with Apple.
Look, I’m not one to say no to a freebie. Lol
I’ll think about it… after I get my Apple Watch this Thursday. But you have to promise to send it back to me. I’ll let you borrow it for sure! If that’s ok with you.
You also have to post a picture of wearing it. Deal?
Apparently I should receive it in 5 days 🤔
Think once the courier arrives back at the depot with the watch band, they’ll send the new one.
Sounds like more waiting. Just can’t win with Apple. Should have asked for free replacement this sounds like too much work.
Why did you post that. You just know I will get it now. One more LL and I may as well of bought the Hermes
Tried that...the box gives it away - though I could say "See they are that good they even have the branding on them!"
Don’t go through all that effort, I’ve got plenty of watch bands here, appreciate the gesture. 🙏
They’re sending my new band to my local apple store lol.
