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

I'm planning to add mine tonight, and double check that my CC that's already on file is the correct one / expiration date, etc. That way it's already good to go and I don't have to add each gift card at checkout. Fingers crossed and good luck! :)

I had $630 in gift cards and added another $370 in cash. I plan on getting the black titanium. No credit card needed.

im really undecided on what colour to get, a very quick mock-up of a starlight aluminium on a stainless steel link

I'm torn between the midnight aluminum and graphite stainless steel both with the dark cherry braided loop. I only added the graphite SS into the mix this year because I wanted to go with a true black rather than the dark blue midnight. It's just hard for me to justify spending $300 extra for SS.

I've got some gift cards I'm about to apply. Does anyone know if the gift cards get automatically rolled in with the CC at payment time? I'd like to use $200 in gift cards, but I don't want *anything* holding up this weird preorder year.

Probably going to go straight 45mm aluminum non cellular starlight sport band just for simplicity. I have plenty of bands already since I've had S0 and S4. Tempted to trade in my S4 as well but ugh... still don't want anything slowing down the transaction at 5am tomorrow.
I will be doing the same(if I order.) I believe you will need to tick the box to use the account credit with the credit card. And as far as I am aware, one can't use account credit with ApplePay (for anyone looking on and curious).

I"m like you, I like the braided loops and have 3 or 4 of them. I have wondered about the weight of the SS with the braided loops. I do have some sport loops, though and I think those should hold up okay with the SS
I wear both my SS and ceramic watches with the Solo Loops and Braided Solo Loops daily, and have no issue whatsoever with the watch sliding around. I guess if you wear them fairly loose that could happen.

Trade in will be interesting this year.

Last year AW S5 nat Ti 44mm, Flawless, no band - $350 from itsworthmore.com
That offer was on pre-order day (Sept 21)

This year AW S6 nat Ti 44mm, Flawless, no band - $250 from itsworthmore.com
The offer was made yesterday Oct 6

The AW S6 offer is $50 less than the pending one I had on Sept 14th, in anticipation of Sept 17th pre-order that got pushed to tomorrow....



For the new iPad Mini and iPhone Pro 13 Max, itsworthmore.com was about !0% lower than Apple's trade in.

I guess we are playing a wait and see this year.

Remember everyone, the store will be going down over the next few hours as we approach pre-order. Check your primary payment and shipping information in the store app now!
Must one do so if we are going to use AP? I have my office as primary and would prefer to not switch for a single purchase since office now pay for iW.
I used AP for iP 13 Pro and thought that made checkout faster, right?

How do you add the gift cards to the app? I have mine in the wallet is that the same?

When you log into your account in the Apple Store in a web browser, go to the upper right, click the little square gift icon and from the menu, select "Account." Your Apple balance is on that page, with options to add to.

I can only see that option for the app store not the store store if you see what I mean?
