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

I was able to call internal sources at Apple and they were able to change the shipping date. My delivery date moved from OCT 26 - OCT 28 to OCT 18 - OCT 23. I was told it should reflect within the next 12 hours. Let's see if the updated date shows up!!!

I have a few configs saved just to see how shipping is looking
All are 45mm Natural Ti
Solo Loop, Braided Loop - unavailable
Sport Loop, Sport Band - still 11/2 - 11/9
 
45 Natural Ti with Saddle Brown Leather Link ordered at 8:05 EDT for 10/15 pickup.
I am now a bit concerned. My order confirmation includes the 10/15 pickup, but the Order Status in the Apple Store says “available for pickup null,” which I do not believe I have ever seen before. I guess I will just wait and see what happens over the next week.

I’m doing the same and delivery dates are going back and some are now unavailable. Stocks running out. What a game.
 
Off the wall conspiracy theory.

I could swear that after I updated my 44mm to Watch OS 8 the California (rectangle) watch face shrunk a bit to make the difference between the 44 and 45 appear larger.


Anyway...I'm going to enjoy my new 45mm natty Ti dammit!
Whenever it gets here....although tracking a Nov 2-9 delivery date is not nearly as fun as a 10/15 one :D
To tell you the truth, that is what I had thought, actually, for me, it was a couple weeks after the S5 launch date. Not sure if i downloaded any updates around then. No one brought it up, so I thought maybe I was crazy. The fact that they could maneuver the battery health, they could be doing also this.
 
Yay! Apple honored it. Changed shipping from standard delivery to express! Woo hoo!!!

I just got off the phone with Apple, the one I wanted stated Standard shipping with the Delivery date of Nov 15 ++ The Apple Rep stated it would not let her change it to Express Delivery 😢 So she canceled that order and I kept the Sports Band order that did show the earlier date. Now have to spend the extra to get the Leather Loop which I can order now and get next week. If I did not know better I would say Apple was doing a bit of Bate and Switch to increase sales.

I wouldn’t have cancelled the order though.

No don't worry , just use the filters . You got me scared for a moment ;-))
Sorry about that! It was just me, I guess. Series 7 configs are back for me now, anyway, with no noticeable changes. When it was happening, even the filters didn't work for me; there wasn't anything listed under "Collection," "Case Material," etc. Oh the joys of Apple launch days....
 
I whizzed through the studio for an order for a series 7 graphite 45 mm with standard midnight blue band and immediately it came up with the 3rd of November delivery date but available for pick up from my nearest Apple Store on the 15th October so I went for pick up
 
Not sure how the one that has the later delivery window shows a sooner shipping widow lol unless there shipping from different parts of the world 🤷🏽‍♂️

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.

Thanks for the tip. Just spent an hour fighting with a broken apple website that wouldn't take my money but I finally managed to get mine for pickup on the 15th.

Not sure what happened earlier but apparently now they are available for pick up...
 
I'm sure this has probably been asked, but will Apple allow you to swap band sizes in store for the Sport Loop if what you ordered does not fit?
