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

I'm on the call with Apple. About the change my shipping from Standard to Express! Lol, that standard word is bugging me.

I have the Nike version from last year and it wasn't different from the software. It just has the Nike Run club app on it. Everything else was the same. And I think there are a few different faces.
Is it worth getting? I was going to get different bands anyway so I ordered the Starlight Nike edition and normal version for store pickup. I know you get extra watch faces but that's about it.

45mm Aluminum Midnight/midnight launch day delivery in Rome. Somehow I ordered 3 and am waiting for the order to go into Processing to cancel 2. App came up first here with the website following about 5 minutes later.
 
Damn, with all the possible combination, Apple should really let us preselect our options and save it in our account like they did for the iPhone 13.
Yeah, we got fooled this year. I hope Apple really consider's that pre-select option for next year.

I like the Nike version because I prefer the Nike sport bands and it defaults to it if you get the watch and the band together. That's really the only reason why I get it. I've never used the app or the faces.

I ordered a band I don't want because I thought "unavailable" applied to that watch model rather than the band color I was choosing. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel and reorder.
I can't remember...
After receiving the watch... can you only return the watchband and get another one? or do you have to return watch+band for a new combo and there wait months till watch supply steadied itself?

Yeah, I have a new 45mm Nike Blue Band coming in the mail - so I didn't really care about what band came with the case. I went back in to the studio and did some band changes, and some combos are still available for 10/15 store pickup - but I'll just suck it up.

Bands get switched out at least 2-3 times a year for me to keep it fresh or coordinated. Let a sleeping dog lie. 😆

I was not happy with the mid November date and No In store pick up available so went back in and could get the SS Gold with a Sport Band a week earler stating Nov 2 - 8 so placed that on order. As soon as the other hits processing will cancel. This is totally crazy. I really feel Apple should have been better prepared and stock available.

I agree! they were not prepared. Not sure who's incharge of this Apple Watch pre-orders.

Sweet. Went for that anyway and will pick out a band I like in store. Might just go back to the starlight sport band but as the loop.

OMG, my heart is
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.
