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

Can you show me which one you bought? Do you like it?
Don’t wanna break any forum rules by posting a link - just type „aoduke magsafe“ into the search machine of your choice. I got the 2-in-1 version which is made out of aluminum. The 3-in-1 seems to be made out of plastic…

What can I say - quality-wise it is totally ok for the price. The MagSafe charger and the watch charger fit perfectly and the cable management works well, too. It is not too light and the stand stays planted on my nightstand well. Not a lot more to expect for that price I‘d say. Great thing about this is that with the original MagSafe charger you get the full 15W and with the watch-charger you‘ll get full watch-charging speeds, too. It just gives you a lot of flexibility and you can still decide to get one of the AIO solutions later on if you feel like it (if there eventually is one that allows for full-speed-charging).

i should be expecting an email confirmation from apple in a few days, i talked to their agent and they say customers are have been waiting for theirs because some apple stores aren't operational as of now. most orders placed online for delivery come from manufacturers overseas and tend to have longer processing time.

My watch took a weird detour away from my city yesterday but it made it back this morning. Looks to be getting ready to go on the vehicle shortly for delivery today

I've ended up canceling my S7 preorder, which was dated 25.10. to 02.11., on the 29th, after it still wasn't preparing for shipping and got myself a aluminum silver S6 on discount.
I'm happy so far, the savings outweigh the improvements of the S7.

I guess my order slated for 02-09 Nov. will not be arriving in the early stages of that timeframe (still not preparing to ship) but here is hoping it might arrive before the weekend.

How is UPS so epically stupid?

Think there are quite a few pallets of Apple watches that have been sitting in Shanghai waiting for clearance. Mine's been there since Friday. UPS is saying Thursday, Apple saying next Tuesday (the 9th). We'll see who's right.

Just been told by UPS my delivery which should have come 3 days ago has been put back yet AGAIN now to tomorrow!!!
Considering the item is STILL showing as stuck at the airport since the last four days it makes me wonder how UPS survive.

Wifeys watch finally coming today after being stuck for a week.  still manages to get it here one day before the original promise of Nov. 2-9.

No, it’s not that… As I said it’s been at the airport since Friday which is only 39 miles away.
Does UPS actually deliver stuff in the US? I am aware this might sound crazy but I‘m from Europe and of the last six or so orders shipped with UPS 5 have been brought directly to the pick-up store even though I was home…

I’m in the UK….. My last two orders weren’t actually delivered by an official brown UPS van… They both came by an unknown person in a small family car.

Oh they definitely do. For the most part, I have never really had issues with them. But I know several people who's orders got lost or delayed. Just wait till the holidays it. It will be a nightmare!

Mine shipped by FedEx and stuck at Memphis since last Wednesday. It says "Clearance delay - import commercial invoice is incomplete". Called FedEx and they said that Apple missed some document and FedEx cannot do anything until its cleared.
