Tried to order a combo that seems impossible. I wanted Graphite SS with a charcoal sport loop but it says that both delivery and collection are unavailable.

That's the same combination I had last year but I can't get it this time round.

I didn't even have the option to get a sports band with the natural Ti, unless I missed something which is very possible. I don't really like the sports band so that's ok, but my only option was either the braided solo loop or leather link band. I went with the dark cherry braided solo loop (luckily I had sized for it a couple of days ago).
You can change the default band in the Studio. It's not amazing in terms of user interface, but there you have it.

There was virtually no stock available for in-store pickup or delivery on the 15th. In the early November window like basically everyone else. The app experience was not great in terms of updating timely and letting me check out.

Same for me - I did take uber long in the checkout though as I had to add 4 gift cards and i have to remove the first watch as couldn't pay for apple care monthly if i use gift cards

yep. for me as well... but there is also something missing from last line where they say they received my payments...
I just keep my fingers crossed...

I just got a notification from my CC that a pending charge has been added and I now see delivery date of 15th! Hopefully yours update soon too!

I have a Nike arriving on 15th but I’m worried that it’s different to the normal version from software point of view

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
I’m glad I changed my mind to go with Hermes this year than going again with Edition Titanium.
Silver Titanium model is not even available to order, black titanium seems available though.
I got mine pre-ordered for Oct 15 delivery ;)

Right, I have two Nike edition apple watches and a blue one for pickup on Friday. Will deffo return one of the Nike ones as I didn’t know you can order the stretchy loop thing. Blue I want to see how it looks up close but will most likely return that as well. If anyone hasn’t able to find one for delivery or collection in regent street, let me know and I could hold my one to sell to you.

Weirdly, there's no in-store pickup available for Norwich UK. At least not for what I wanted. Have to wait until November...

The stupid lack of pre-ordering information slowed me down, trying to order for myself and wife. Back and forth between stainless and titanium mostly, ships in 2-3 weeks to arrive first week of November.

Blah.

I'm also pissed at Apple because I have like $1200 in GameStop credit, that can be swapped for Apple gift cards. I called Apple to see if I'd have to enter all of them individually or could they be placed on my account. I was told individually.

Learned last night that I could stock my gift $$ on the account like I wanted so did $400 that I had on hand. Even screwed up 1 because my iTunes e-mail is different than my Apple ID so just got $300 on the proper account.

IIRC only "flagship" Apple Stores carry titanium stock - so e.g. in Boston, you can only pick up titanium from the Boylston St store downtown

Wow, I ordered 3 min after preordering started - 45 mm Graphite SS - went from 10/15 to shipping January... WTF - it was all because I changed the watch band to something custom...

Good to know...for next time lol. The dark cherry braided solo loop was what I really wanted anyway so that's fine. I'll have a sports loop in abyss blue/moss green waiting if I sized wrong on the solo loop.

Weird brain moment:

Wanting silver and not excited about starlight, I’d decided to skip the S7, but then from deep sleep, I wake up at 4:59am. So of course I get online and order. WTF!? It’s like part of my brain is betraying the rest of me.

I stuck with 45 Midnight and at the last minute decided to go with the midnight leather band. I already have several sport loop bands. Expected delivery on the 15th!

Seriously? App Store came up on my phone at 5:01 and was done by 5:03 am MST. Easy-peasy.

Combos were dodgy this round...the Blue Case seemed limited only to the sport loops. And the Abyss Blue sport loop had the same - Unavailable for shipping and store pickup, so I had to go w/ the Deep Navy - well, and I didn't want to waste too much time in the studio mixing/matching and checking availability either.
