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

Interestingly, the natural titaniums now say deliver in “30 business days”. I hope I won’t regret not getting titanium. I really wanted one next week. I have three bands with steel connectors though that will probably look best with steel.
 
Kind of a mess with ordering this year. I ended up ordering a Silver SS 45mm with the Milanese loop at 8:10 am with delivery Nov 1 - 8.

I originally wanted a Silver SS 45mm with black leather link band. Have always considered Milanese loop and it may be more versatile for everyday wear than black leather for me personally.

I didn’t realize the Amazon configs that leaked would be the only configs available with  at launch 🙄. I wasted time trying to customize my watch only to find the Add to Bag button was unavailable and then hit a snag with my S4 trade-in not showing up.

Glad to hear mine won’t be much later than other SS deliveries.

 definitely pushed me to take the plunge to SS removing the silver aluminum as an option this year. I hope I’ll be happy I made the move and the S8 next year isn’t an amazing option after springing now for SS S7.
 
Might cancel titanium and go for Nike. Am I nuts? Just loosing metal and sapphire aren’t I?
 
Woke up at 6:30 Pacific and finally ordered my titanium! It’s going to be replacing my series 5 Space Black Titanium Which will now live on my shelf alongside my series 0 Stainless Steel

Ordered Space Black Titanium, 41mm, with Black Solo Loop at 7:01 CT. In email confirmation, delivers October 15. Checking status now, delivers "Jan." Hoping that delivery date is a glitch, but now realize that the Black Solo Loop wasn't updated for the new Watch sizes and is generally unavailable through Apple. Perhaps that REAL glitch is that Apple sold me that band with the Watch at all... Ugh.

From grumbling on the iPhone thread, I would say no. There were people that tried and were told they needed to send it in.

From personal experience, the mail in trade in works pretty well.
I agree, I have done the mail in trade in several time with no problesm. Got my confirmation a few days ago for my phone trade with no issues. Actually the box the send to trade is quite nice and very easy to do. Way better than when I did a trade several years ago with Verizon.

LMAO whilst most people were busy trying to check out and getting delayed shipments, I just decided to wait for in-store pickups to show up and just managed to snag one for Regent Street on Friday morning.

OH wow! That’s insane. Keep us posted with what happens.
 
Am I assuming right, that you can't just keep your watch and only exchange your watch band if you decide you don't like it without returning both watch+band for a new combo?

Interestingly several models that said November delivery now state 8 business days.. Maybe I'll get mine on launch day after all lol!
