So I was thinking that if we don’t have the pricing and specs by today at 10am PDT, we aren’t getting them until preorders start.

But today is the 10th anniversary of Steve’s passing. So I’m guessing they won’t take down the site to update it.

I’d say if the website isn’t updated by 10am PDT Wednesday (25 hours from the time of this post), we aren’t getting anything until launch

Agree, they have to at least show all of the options. I want to see everything and throw it in my cart prior to Friday. Leaning towards Hermes, but at the same time, working from home it's hard to justify.

I have a Series 6 Titanium Apple Watch. I am looking into selling it, but a number of websites I see don't even have Titanium as an option.
I just sold my S6 black Titanium 44mm for $500 (I included AppleCare+ which was still 2 years left) they paid shipping an insurance. It was mint. I would not dream of any other way. Apple on my S5 exact same wanted to give me $200. ?

I asked about best places to offer it on Reddit Apple Watch and it was sold to someone there same day. And done via Apple cash. Easiest transaction ever.

Good luck. I ran into same thing regarding the web sites not listing it. I used to buy black SS thru S4 then went to Titanium

Man this is what I hate about the  watch that a year old device loses half its value or more.

I have a S5 titanium that I would like to sell so I could upgrade to the S7 but it would probably be pulling teeth to even get $450 for it.

So over in the preorder thread from yesterday someone was told by an Apple rep that the customization tool won’t go live until this Friday.

Yeah the apple rep told me the customization tool won’t be live until Friday but I hope they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Like we are supposed to throw together random combos on Friday morning while at the same time trying to get our pre-order in asap to get launch day delivery.

I’m 99% sure that the rep I spoke with was clueless.

Best Buy has a splash page now but similar to Apple, only says coming soon. Normally they would have the watches listed with prices and coming soon.

I’ve learned you get most $ when you sell right before they officially announce new one. And yea I never expect too much it’s tech even though it’s a nice piece it’s still tech.
With that in mind I go into it knowing that. I looked at prices via Reddit, Facebook Market and some of the usual sale places. I never see more than 50%.
I maybe easier in that respect after 23 years managing sales for GM.(yea I’m older than dirt) ?
The market is based around the low tier pieces. Getting higher end models is no different than putting nice wheels on a car. You don’t get more on trade cause it’s expected to have 4 wheels on it. The investment into SS or Titanium is similar.
I wish it wasn’t.

I really hope the watch combinations will be available soon and the ability to add them into the app as a favourite. I really want to get my decision made so I can have quick access to it. I was hoping the info would have been available today
