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

Ugh I picked up both the Silver and Graphite SS. Can’t decide which to return.
I was set on getting silver, ordered with an early Nov delivery date….then graphite became available for ISPU so I jumped on it.

Best decision I’ve made in awhile. Even while picking up at the store I had to option to grab a silver SS but opted to stick with graphite. Not saying this just because I have one but the graphite SS is the sexiest of the AW7 options imo. There’s nothing I’ve seen so far that I prefer to the graphite SS. Although the silver SS with dark cherry band (solo loop/braided solo loop/leather loop) is stunning as well.

Went to my appointment this morning to pick up my watch and the store was packed! Was able to not only swap the graphite Milanese band for the silver, but I was also able to trade in my S4 at the same time. Once the rep got everything processed, he then applied the trade in value to my purchase! 😁

I’ve always had SS so I won’t go on and on about how absolutely beautiful it is 🤩😁 While I was there, I asked to be fitted for the sport/braided loop which was a good thing because the downloaded paper guide was off by 2 points. Was able to take a few pictures of the bands, and it is much better seeing them in person.

The store I went to didn’t have the midnight leather loop bands in stock for the 45mm so I placed an order and it should arrive by Wed. I also think that I want to order the saddle as well. The midnight leather loop looks black with a hint of blue, and the leather feels so soft! I think that the leather loops just might be my favorite.

Hey @LFC2020, @TheYayAreaLiving was right… the SS Milanese is a must buy and should be your next purchase!😁 It works so beautifully with the SS case 👍😁😁🤩👍
Congrats on the new watch, nice combo, appreciate the photos of the bands 🙏 they look much better in your photos compared to the fake colours on apple website lol, I can't do metal bands, my OCD will be on 24/7 scared ill scratch my watch lol.

After seeing them photos, glad I went with the midnight leather band.

Agree, the silver SS watch is absolutely stunning.

Expecting to see plenty of photos once you've set her up.
 
Last year I went with graphite SS and regretted it. It’s beautiful, but I’ve had a silver SS since 2015 and have amassed a large collection of bands that really only look right with silver. Picked up a silver SS 45 Friday and it feels like coming home.

It's not that big of a deal, its only a few weeks. But this whole process annoys me. The way Apple does this, it reeks of creating hype more than practicality.
I agree. This whole process was screwy. Maybe they were rushing to get the AWs and MBPs out so they would have a better reporting period? Not sure how that would work though. As I said earlier, I would have preferred a later preorder/launch date if it meant that I could be in more people’s hands sooner. Oh well.
 
Agreed! I’ve only had the Aluminum ones till now and silver is my first Stainless Steel and it makes such a huge difference!
Had a series 0 in SS for a week, took it back because of how slow and laggy it was, then it was a blue aluminium watch last year, glad to have a SS watch again, loved the colour of my blue watch last year, only problem with it, I couldn't find any bands that looked good with it.

Only downside about getting the stainless steel model, it's very expensive, my aluminium model cost me $650 the SS model cost me $1118 lol. 🤦‍♂️ I haven't even added apple care plus yet. 😳🤨😂
 
Yes, every day. Zero withing 200 miles.

Seriously, Apple needs to do something about this. Stock should not be gone in 60 seconds on a launch. They need to build up more inventory before being in a rush to put them on pre-order.
But we all knew that stock was in short supply. That was common knowledge and there was lots of advice about ordering early.

I agree. I’ve had silver SS watches and space black and for me space black is the best but my S6 was graphite and the decision to go for graphite again for the S7 was a no brainer. The graphite changes colour beautifully with the lighting. SS is fantastic but very bling. Graphite and the space black go with both smart and casual wear
 

Before you know it, the apple watch will have a notch. 🤦‍♂️

Get back in your lane Timmy boy.

I just gave you $1,118 for a new Apple Watch, now you're giving me a MacBook Pro with a notch 🤦‍♂️ to make it even worse, that hideous notch won't even have Face ID, must be comedy week. 🤔

Get your act together mate, one email and you can kiss that CEO title goodbye 😂 no more games, I better not see a notch tomorrow morning if it hasn't got Face ID. 🤨
 
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.
I'll definitely be here for the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch 8 launch. Still debating whether to order a new MBP or not too haha. 😅
