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

Mine is due for delivery tomorrow. Still shows picked up only from factory in China. This was on 30-10-2021. Called DHL. Oh we are waiting for Apple to give pickup information. We don't have it. Called Apple. Oh it's been picked up. You will have it by tomorrow . But it's due between 10-17 so we are still on time. So Lord only knows what's going on. Due tomorrow. That was the email I received from Apple.

Same as mine. Apple Store shows Delivers Nov 05, but only tracking info is pick-up on 30/10…
Doubt it will turn up tomorrow, but wouldn’t mind being pleasantly surprised…

Are you UK based?

See my note from before - DHL ship en mass to eindhoven and then distribute from there (or at least thats been my experience).
Once there, it'll probably be with you a day or two later max, but it can take a week to get to that hub.

Just happened to jump on the Apple Store app and see most S7 models are available for pickup next day at my local store in the UK! But if you want it delivered you're still looking at December. Picking up a 41mm S7 GPS Saturday.

John Lewis also seemed to have stock of a bunch of them too.
 
Yeah, I think mine is lost at UPS. Mine was supposed to be delivered on Monday and couple of days later, I checked at their facility by visiting them, and they tell me that was actually physically in Kentucky but don't know where it is after that. I had told Apple and so they essentially ordered another one for me as a replacement and so my wait time is another month, when I had ordered this within the first minute of Preorders starting.

Anyone else have this issue before and whether the package was eventually found?

Damn, that sucks. UPS need to get their **** together.

The sad and maddening thing is that it was a Watch Edition Titanium, almost $1000, and it just sucks so much. Hoping UPS can find it, and/or this replacement can be prioritized so I'm not waiting till Dec 6 for a replacement if it ever comes.

I am so sorry. Fingers are crossed. Its honestly is BS. I’d throw a huge fit. UPS is going to make you open up a case and their going to tell you it will take 7-10 days to look into it. I’m pissed off and it’s not even my watch. Stuff like this is why I always get to the store early on launch day to purchase items.
 
Having a look at AppleCare for the Edition model in the UK, it only covers for two years? I thought you could buy AppleCare for three years?

I received my SS Gold 45MM on Monday 11/1 from UPS. However I doubt I was going to receive it on time because the watch never showed it departing Louisville, Kentucky. The next scan was on the morning of 11/1 showing it was out for delivery out of my local hub in Cerritos, CA.
 
That sucks!!! Makes me wonder if mine is stuck too. The last scan was last night in Memphis. FedEx still shows delivery today, which is quite interesting. Hope yours gets cleared soon!

Finally had movement out of Memphis. My package is now in DC & will be delivered by noon today, which is a day after FedEx scheduled delivery. Unfortunately, I won’t get my hands on it until Tuesday since I’ll be out of town. Original delivery was Nov 16-23.
 
As Nyermen correctly predicted, finally saw some movement on mine, Cambridge around 8pm, so might get it tomorrow after all!
Been there, my MBP two years ago was a custom build (I wanted the max memory), and it did the same thing with DHL. Did the tracking start at Eindhoven (or similar)?

No, only after arriving at East Midlands
 
Thank you 🙏 this is going to be annoying when washing my hands 🤦‍♂️ Not taking my watch off every time. 🤦‍♂️

Might return the midnight band because of this.
Or keep it for special occasions. It’s the same for me with my braided loop, it gets wet immediately from my washing my hands a lot. Then, I have to take it off until it gets dry. Too annoying. So, I’m wearing my silicon bands (sport, Nike) on a daily basis and keep my braided loop only for going out or events.

Bit late, sent it back already, kept the baltic blue leather link band, might buy it again later on down the track.

My daily watch band is the solo loop, the most comfiest watch band I've ever worn.
 
Hello friends, someone from the wave of November 8-15 with any movement? My order still says "processing" according to your experiences, do you think it can arrive soon?
 
On the Apple Store page, it says my order is "being prepared for shipment". I can no longer click on "cancel item". I guess it's coming my way? Yippee! The original delivery date is 11/22- 11/29. So it is sooner than expected. :p:D:)
I have a same dates, which watch & country u ordered?
