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

This might not be the place to post this . I was going nuts with the shortcut app on the watch ( I'd never noticed it on my S4) . Shortcuts didn't sync from the phone and had shortcuts I had never installed . I Duckduckgoded it and found a genius on Reddit . I made a screenshot and adding it here if it can help somebody .

I absolutely agree! In fact, I received an experience survey from Apple this am. I spared no words to list all the reasons why this Apple Watch 7 launch has been a huge fail, and I specifically cited Tim CookApple, the supply guy!

Yes, and I ordered the SB Tiitanium, which comes with a basic band in the box, in addition to the "extra" one that's part of the package. The extra band holding things up is completely unneccsary. And since I have my own ban, I end up with two bands that I won't even use.
 
Got email confirmation at 1 minute past and still delayed (albeit only 4 days).
Not sure I even care for the strap colour, I ordered it as it was on the front page of preorders so thought it would be a ‘standard’!

I also ordered a "standard" config. And I had a Apple account balance, enough to pay for it. Didn't even have to add credit card info. Didn't matter.
 
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! 😁
Nice. I hope you got a decent amount to cover the cost of your S7. Did you have to give Apple the original band that came with your S4? They should let you keep it :)

Same here. New delivery date is 19-20 october for me. Order is still processing though and not even prepared for shipping. I expect that it will be delayed even more.

Mine went to preparing for shipping really fast. But then just stayed there with 19-21 delivery.
At least it looks like I get it on Tuesday, whereas my elderly next door neighbour just fancied his first AW and got it next day through Amazon 😂 and I had to configure it for him 😂

you just never know with Apple stock.
 
So both Apple chat and phone support have referred me to the store to exchange for a different size band...I thought this was possible to do via mail in the US? Is there some trick to get them to do this? They both said they weren't able to.

Anyone here with updates with a UK DHL shipment? Mine is just showing it was picked up in China with no estimated delivery date

I’m with you. We must stick together and resist @TheYayAreaLiving peer pressure.
Backup has arrived lol. 👊
There is no peer pressure. Just trying to keep ya’ll updated with the latest and greatest. You will be thankful. Otherwise you can wait till December or January for your items to arrive 😞. By that time y’all might as well wait till next year 😂
 
Soon!!! I’m seriously hoping that it is one of those situations where Apple quoted delivery dates out of caution, but you receive it much sooner

As another poster pointed out earlier, I wanted to check out the titanium models but was told that it is only carried in the premier Apple stores. Ok, didn’t know that…

If you’re referring to my post, even though my local Apple Store isn’t a flagship and therefore doesn’t have any titanium models to sell, they do have some on display and in the drawer, so you can check them out, just not buy them there, if that makes sense…
 
Nice. I hope you got a decent amount to cover the cost of your S7. Did you have to give Apple the original band that came with your S4? They should let you keep it :)
You are only required to run in the watch and you keep the band. It’s a good thing that they didn’t ask because I gave the band to my Aunt after I bought the S4.
 
No living with a notch here mate, got my M1 MacBook Pro right in front of me.

The menu bar looks stunning without El Notcho.

This is what no notch heaven looks like.

Even though I still hope there won’t be a notch (wishful thinking…), in this specific screenshot you posted (which is representative of a lot of my personal usage in a Mac), there would really be no loss of content whatsoever, would there?
 
One issue I have with my new SS Silver is that it makes all my old bands look like ****! At least half will be going into the garbage. I just bought this leather band. It can’t come soon enough!!!

Glad BandWerk worked out for you. I’m very close to a purchase as well to dress up my Blue Al. How fast is shipping from them? Are you in the US?
