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

So picked up the S7 SS Graphite today. This being my first SS (coming from AL from S0) I love it so far.

The graphite colour is nice. I like the fact it's not too in your face shiny like the silver. I am a little worried about how it will hold up over time to scratches. Not a huge issue for me but something to think about.

The weight difference is a non issue. It is a little bit heavier however once on, it's not noticeable for me.

The screen is massive. That 20% is a really big upgrade and noticeable right away even coming from an S5. The watch faces use the extra area well. Really like the Contour (I use the Pine Green colour) face and the modular duo gives a lot of info.
Haptics are all ok. I've got no issues with them so far.

I'll take more photos over the coming days with different bands but really like the SS so far.
Congrats mate, looks awesome.

Did anyone have an issue with message notifications not coming onto the watch? Was working fine this morning on my S5. Now with the S7 nothing. Calls are fine however.
I’ve checked to make sure notifications are turned on.

And then when I post this it works. 🤷
Yep, watchOS is trash at the moment, notifications are very hit and miss at the moment.

Ok, just got an e-mail from Fed Ex stating a package from "Luxshare ITech APPL" is on the way.... origin is Jiaxing, China. Is this it? Does it matter if I ordered the Hermes? I've always had UPS delivery with all my other Apple products, but this is the first time getting a Hermes.
The origin sounds just right for your watch. I think there were some shipments on here coming by FedEx, especially if they ordered direct from Hermes (?). Did you order w/ Hermes or through the Apple Store? With all the craziness of the supply chain, Apple may have also had to divert some shipments to FedEx from UPS just to get them out faster.

Hes probably stuffing his face with fast food. lol. Im going to bed. So pissed off. This is beyond ridiculous. And under cellular option on my watch it says “No SIM card” ??Is that right? Im gonna take a shot of bourbon and hope i wake up tomorrow realizing this was just a bad dream.
My S6 Cellular was a nightmare activation last year w/ AT&T. They gave me a number and it was somehow corrupted and couldn’t be activated properly…so a few calls and hours later, a new number sync number - and it was fine. I was apprehensive when I transferred cell service to my S7, but it went smooth as butter this time.

I hope it works out, and it will probably take you calling ATT again - but you definitely have grounds for them to waive your activation fee and any other trash they throw on your bill. I made sure that stuff got waived for all the trouble.

I ordered through Apple using the app. So the FedEx thing was weird to me. I also now have another package from FedEx coming from Kansas, which I assume is my watch trade-in stuff.

Yay! Congratulations. Hope you enjoy your Apple watch. Good job with the selection of the band.
 
Got that started this morning lol, one leather band is enough, hate being careful when washing my hands, I'll definitely ruin it. I'm getting 2 solo loops instead.
That's a good decision. I think one leather band is enough. It just requires extra attention. even though it is very comfortable. Watch out! Apple will be releasing new bands for the Spring collection.

@TheYayAreaLiving I'd be getting excited about your M1 pro MacBook Pro, this little beast that I have is crazy when it comes to battery life, can't even imagine how good your tank is going to be.

Last full charge Wednesday night, started using it again early Thursday morning, can't wait to see what you get.

Wow! That's pretty impressive man. I can't wait either. I'm tired of using my refurbished MacBook Pro, LOL! The battery life and performance is going to be insane. I can finally have 100 tabs open in Safari!
