Don’t have a S7 but just want you to show the Sequoia Green on my S6. The leather links are so comfy.

That is gorgeous! I think I need a Sequoia Green band.
 
Congrats! I was so on the fence, even on my 10/15 pickup day. Was finding SSG and SS for ISPU the day of. Thankfully(for my wallet) they’re all out of stock now. Maybe for the S8 or the next mega-change…🤞🏽
You'll have something great to look forward to for the S8! I was thinking about the SS all week and then on Wednesday ordering for ISPU was turned off. My hopes weren't very high at that point but when it did come back up on Friday morning there were still SSG with the abyss blue sport band available for pickup thankfully. Surprisingly they still have them available at my nearest store.
 
Is there a difference in the width of those bands or is it just the angle?
Just the angle. Aside from stretching out from wearing the band everyday for the past year they are the same (both size 4).

Just been to my local Apple Store in Norwich to have a look at a Space Black Titanium (display model), and staff member confirmed what had already been mentioned several times in the thread: only flagship stores will actually stock Edition models, so in the UK Regent St, Covent Garden and Edinburgh.

Unsurprisingly, I found it stunning, and seeing it side by side to my Midnight Aluminium made me certain I’m not keeping the Midnight. Even though it’s nearly black, the dark blue hints on certain angles/light put me off. The brushed dark grey titanium on the other hand looks amazing!!

So hopefully the SBTi will arrive before the estimated 10-17 Nov, and now the only question is will I try and stretch the return 14+14 day period as much as I can, or just return it as soon as, considering I’ve decided I won’t be keeping it…
 
Go on UPS website and search by reference number. Put your phone number associated with your Apple ID your ZIP Code in your country and it should bring up your tracking information. My watch showed preparing to ship for five days and meanwhile I’ve already received notification on UPS that the watch had shipped and I was following its progress. You can also sign up for UPS my choice which is they have a free option for that and you’ll get notification when it ships to it will show up there. I do this every year and I track my iPhone and my Apple Watch through the reference number on UPS‘s website.
No dice. Tried both my phone number and order number and they turn up nothing. Contacted Apple and they said everything is still on track for delivery tomorrow even though it's still preparing to ship. Ridiculous
 
Wow hoo! Congratulations. Hope you enjoy your Apple Watch :)
Thank you so much! It's been so much fun following along with everyone this year. Hoping your watch comes very early this week! ;)

Also, thank you for being such a great host to these threads, it definitely makes the whole ordering and delivery process so much more exciting. 😊

Titanium is the way to go! It’s so premium. You will smile every time you will have it on. There is a reason why it costs so much. I admire the metal casing too much. Just has that rich feeling. Extremely durable. It’s hard to explain. You have to feel it yourself.

I would also suggest to check the flagship stores and continue to do that as they might be getting it in the morning. Your chances might be a lot higher.

My AW is around the corner. Should have it this upcoming Thursday. A little late but it’s not too late.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoy them. Hopefully you will be joining next year for iPhone 14 and Apple Watch 8 launch :) stay in touch. Enjoy your AW. Until then, see you soon.

Couldn’t agree more, it has a real premium feel to it!
London flagships are 2 hours away, so I’ll just wait for my online order to arrive, hopefully before the 10th
 
Well my watch has arrived! My first Apple Watch and I'm delighted with it! Now to find last years Deep Navy band to match my iPhone 12 Pro case haha.
Last week, my husband decided he wanted a deep navy solo loop band. We managed to find one in stock at one of our two local Apple Stores. The color looks great.

Yes I asked and only Aluminum and only a few colors, they said they did not get in any of the SS or Ti to sell, they were selling a midnight 45mm to a young women when I was there.
Maybe the fashion show mall or forum shop was the one received the SS / TI models?
 
I’ve got more self control when it comes to Macs, well hopefully I do. 🤦‍♂️😂

Can’t see myself paying $3-4K for a MacBook Pro with a notch, especially a notch without Face ID.

The Mac notch rumor is fake, though, right? We’ll find out for sure tomorrow, but it just doesn’t sound real.

Either way, I think the M1 I got last year should hold me a while. I just use it for personal use, anyway, and it’s a nice machine. Now, iPhones, on the other hand, I have zero control. Every year I tell myself I might not upgrade because I’m happy with my phone. Then, the event comes, and that Friday I’m up at 5:00 a.m. on the Apple Store app.

I agree with the iPhones. There is zero self control. I don’t even have any doubts on not upgrading. It’s by default.
