Does anyone know how long it typically stays in the "preparing to ship" phase?

Bought the abyss braided solo loop for my S6 and I can recommend it to everyone! I love the color! 2 days ago I already bought the Sport band

Thats what I've got coming with my Ti hopefully

Not too long. Have they made the card charge? Then it could be a day or so, depending on the shipping company.
Are some differences - in UK, I've had shipping via DHL which shows weirdly - as DHL ship it to Germany and only then does their tracking work (and until that time, it sometimes shows as shipped but cant be tracked for ages, other times such as for my MBP (custom build definitely coming from china) that suddenly showed shipped and was in eindhoven).

This is true. But it offers interest free financing on Apple products. I would finally be able to afford real watch bands!

I think it's worth it. 3% cash back for Apple Store and Apple Services (Music/iCloud, etc) and 2% cash back on other Apple Pay usage - straight to your Apple Cash card at the end of each day. I always pay it off at the end of the month, so I haven't paid any interest on it at all. There's a few other stores/brands that also give 3% cash back when using it, too. The customer service from Goldman-Sachs has been excellent (gave me a refund during that iPhone 13 Apple Card glitch) and their help is readily available. It's a wicked fancy card, if/when you break out the physical card...serious flex when you break it out.

I love it. The band looks very comfortable. I just want to stretch it, haha. Nice combination :$

For Apple Card, do you know if Goldman Sachs can assist you with Apple Card related issues or do you have to directly handle it by the Apple?

So the watch I pre-ordered is now in my town, but I have no idea what "Your package is pending release from a non-UPS broker" means... Hopefully not a big issue and it's not stuck with customs. Really weird to see about 10 different statuses from the Ottawa area (Gloucester, Kanata, etc.) ...

Looks nice. Is this your first braided loop?

I have the Inverness Green(discontinued?) one. Really nice and comfy. I will warn you that it does absorb sweat. So it isn't a great workout band unless you clean it diligently. I use a combo of baking soda, oxy clean, and dish soap and let it soak overnight.

That’s my third braided solo loop but thanks!

@Boardiesboi i’d ask @TheYayAreaLiving but she’s been nagging me to get one since day 1 lol.

You tried this band before? Looks a bit feminine not that there is anything wrong with that, also can’t see it going well with my trackies and hoodies, looks more like a dresser band, people also saying it scratches the watch case.

Reminds of something my uncle would wear back in the days. 🤔🤦‍♂️😂

Available for pickup tomorrow. 🤔🤦‍♂️

I thought the same thing until I tried it on. Not feminine at all. I absolutely love this band. Looks so good especially when paired with a SS Silver watch.

mine was stuck in the US for a good day and it said the same thing "pending release from a non ups broker..."
just got a destination scan here in Calgary, should be delivered today sometime, what a good start to the weekend!

Two orders, TT & SS. Nov 2 to 9 now prep to ship. Nov 16 to 23 no change.

Nice! My SBTi with Nov 2 to 9 just charged, but still processing. Hopefully it goes preparing to ship soon.

Quick update: It just moved to preparing to ship! So I guess the Nov 2 to Nov 9 gang may be getting theirs early.

I didn’t think I was interested until I saw others’ pics. I bought one and love it! It looks and feels great. I agree with your comments about corresponding dress. It goes better with nicer outfits than casual clothes.

Wow! It always amazes me. Such a beautiful combination. It looks like a complete set and doesn’t look like a cheap Watch! Very exclusive. Glad you are enjoying it

The lugs perfectly match the case like a matched pair. That attention to detail is 🔥 The band looks like a natural extension of the case

 

[jutte64]

Has anyone tried Milanese bands to the Midnight Aluminum watch in store? Curious how the Graphite looks with it? nearest Apple store is 2 hours from me.

 

[DMG35]

My Space Black Hermes finally arrived. Wearing it with the OG leather loop today.

 

[playaproved]

Absolutely in love with this Bleu Lin and Sierra blue combo 😍

Flex levels off the scales right there. 👌🔥

My thoughts exactly! Super duper flex! I may have to spring for a stainless Hermés next year.

I just saw this last night. Actually, it was posted in another thread here:

Apple Card now offering 6% Daily Cash back on purchases from Apple [U: Error] - 9to5Mac

Update October 22, 2021: This appears to have been an error on Apple’s end. New purchases are no longer showing...

9to5mac.com

 

[Jrh1010]

For you, it might be a better option to check your local Apple store. You may get lucky.

Unfortunately 2 hours away. I'll just have to remain patient. Well, have patience. Obviously if I am looking already I am not showing much patience now.

 

[happy orchard]

Figure if we’re buying Apple stuff, the card is worth it. Why not get 3% off every purchase? Why not do monthly installments for some things so it seems like you’re spreading out your excitement over bills? Why not support the team?

For Apple Card, do you know if Goldman Sachs can assist you with Apple Card related issues or do you have to directly handle it by the Apple?

You message Apple via iMessage and they direct your request to an Apple Card specialist, which is a Goldman Sachs rep. Or, you can call directly. You’re working with GS either way.

Thank you for explaining it. I thought it was an Apple specialist not GS.
