I LOVE the braided bands, but I think the SS might just be a little too heavy for mine and I'm not sure if it's because I've worn the bands and they have stretched a bit already. I otherwise love the braided ones. I just think that SS is simply too heavy for them.
Got a tip for us?

Well I just ordered my series 7 Friday after deliberating for a while. Delivery was scheduled yesterday, and it was out for delivery on Fed Ex truck.
Tracking this morning shows they ”attempted delivery” at 6:55 p.m., which is an absolute lie because I was here the entire day yesterday waiting on it to arrive, and by that time my husband was home and outside watching tv in his shop as well.
So now it’s saying it’s at a facility an hour away, which I can’t confirm prior to driving there because you can’t actually speak to a human at one of those facilities, even though there are humans working there.
SO FREAKING ANNOYED! I mean late delivery is one thing, but that lying “attempted delivery” crap just really ticks me off.

Mine arrived today! I never saw an update on FedEx that it was out for delivery - glad I didn’t drive an hour to pick it up at the facility like it was showing I could.
Anyway, just coming from a 6, but I really like the screen size - it‘s a noticeable difference.

Glad it got delivered. You don't have a Fedex Ship and Print Center nearby for it to hold?
ContactEd VZW and my 45mm SS graphite with milanese loop is projected to be shipped on 12/17.
I ordered a SS 45mm Graphite on 10/26. Delivery shows Nov 17 - 24. Tonight my order status changed from processing to Preparing to ship. Finally.
Woo hoo! Congratulations! what a journey! Hope you enjoy your Apple Watch
Great!! Thanks for your reply, that gives me some better perspective.
I hate that, they’ve done that to me as well. I have phoned and complained—and it was worth it, because the delivery man later delivered the package—and seemed VERY grumpy about it. So I think that my telling them pretty much the same as you—I was home (I work from home, d*n it!) and I didn’t ‘miss’ any so-called delivery ’attempt.’ I was HOME waiting for the package when I originally received the message that they ‘tried but couldn’t deliver the package because no one was home.‘ The nerve. I think these guys just skip people because it’s a bother (to do their actual jobs). You should let customer service know.
They pull that when they run out of time in their shift. I know delivery jobs suck, but hey, it's still your job, do it right. As Yoda said: "Do or do not. There is no try."
Yes. I think that must be it. It does kind of defeat the purpose and motto of ‘express delivery.‘ 😀They pull that when they run out of time in their shift. I know delivery jobs suck, but hey, it's still your job, do it right. As Yoda said: "Do or do not. There is no try."
Most likely it will be shipped within 24-48 hours. Check UPS to see if the tracking number generates before hand
Yay, finally moved to "preparing to ship" with new delivery window of 11-23 to 12-1.
DHL dropped this into service locker today, few days earlier than it was supposed to arrive! But like always it happened right around the time I’m supposed to leave to work, so I didn’t have time to do more than open the main package and take a picture. And I was almost late from work because of it.
This day is going to feel long.

Anyone that wants a Popov leather band…looks like they have a Black Friday sale. 20% off of Apple Watch bands and 40% off of a ton of other stuff like leather mouse pads, etc. I might grab a black band and some other stuff just because I like a good sale lol
That has been the time Apple shows on all Watch promo images. Quick googling suggests multiple theories why they chose that time but it’s probably just aesthetics.
