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

I ordered my 41mm Midnight Aluminum iWatch from Best Buy on October 27th. On their site it still says it's backordered, not even an ETA :(
 
My husband’s green alum has stalled since shipped. When ordered it was early dec. It shipped a few days later and Apple said Nov 3. UPS said Nov. 4. Now UPS is saying Nov 8th.

My Gold SS still says Order in progress with early Dec dates.

Edit: Have you guys noticed that some watches have expected delivery dates into January now 😱

How long did it take between sending it and that email ?
I mailed it last Wednesday Oct 27th, so almost seven days which is a decent turnaround. My return kit arrived almost a week after release day order.
How much did you get for the S4 if you don’t mind me asking? I have my old one still and if it’s a good amount of money I’ll bring them to Apple to turn in
$100 USD
 
I've had my watch since launch day ( Yes , I know I'm lucky... )
Tonight I noticed that optimized battery charging has finally kicked in .
Just in case anybody was wondering ;-))

Wish mine would. Got it on launch day too.
 
Ordered my 45mm SSG/Milanese from AT&T on 10/10 with a shipping date of 11/19 - 11/29. This evening I received an email and text that my order has shipped. Checked with UPS and it's departed DFW @ 10:01pm via supersaver overnight delivery. It's scheduled for delivery Wednesday 11/3! Wasn't expecting such a quick delivery considering the original estimate.

Hmmm, you'd expect my SS45 (for Germany, 2-9 Nov) to be in that shipment, yet it still shows preparing. Hopefully an update soon.
Still think it was in the same China to Europe consignment. I have no clue what this is that is being run in the Czech Republic but I envision it as a huge sorting and center and shipping hub. It might just have been further down the pile or maybe the transport to your destination happens usually in the morning… My bet is it will show up at your door on or before Friday…

It's out for delivery today (have to forward it to NL afterwards though so won't get it on my wrist today). All went very fast all of a sudden. Yeah, unlike Macs we don't get a tracking number from China but only when they're in Europe I think.
 
How do you know it kicked in?

I was wondering the same then had a brain blast…

So I think it learns your charges cycles and will optimize. For instance, when I wake up I throw mine on the charge and it’s at 100% in like 20min. But if I randomly charge throughout the day or when I don’t normally charge it takes a lot longer to get to 100%.

Is this correct? I sure hope so because that’s my experience…
 
My Starlight S7 finally arrived today. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t like the colour but it’s beautiful. The design changes to the watch itself are very subtle and I can’t say I notice the slightly larger dimensions. The larger screen looks great it really does look better in real life than on screen. Very happy so far.

I have no idea . I do not use my watch at night. I put it on the charger ( Not the new fast charging one ) when I go to bed and take it off the next morning .
 
Hopefully doesn't affect anyone here as they should be coming from China to everywhere, but UPS has an alert up that "UPS Expedited and Worldwide Express Freight shipments from Europe to the U.S. experiencing delays"
 
10th to 17th Nov to UK here. Managed to find out it’s DHL carrier for me from Zhejiang Province. But had no other information except the shipment was picked up. Anyone else facing the same challenge?

With DHL, they ship in bulk to their hub in Eindhoven I think, and then you get updates from that point. For me - UPS this time, but previous DHL deliveries have taken up to a week to appear on the european tracking.
