Ordered mine through Apple for the $100 promotion.
I figured Verizon would be easier to order from. The process was flawless for my iPhone 13 Pro Max... while Apple's site was having so many issues. Plus... for the watch it seemed like dates slipped very quickly. My Verizon order is coming on launch day.

Well since my s7 says November delivery I went ahead and ordered one on bestbuy too. Pre order for the SS 45mm with starlight band just went live 5 minutes ago. Had a 10% off coupon and 10% cash back on my chase card so if I have to wait I might as well wait and save money lol
I have bought a lot of Apple stuff at Best Buy over the years and they have been stellar about returns. Got to checkout and saw the warning about a $45 restocking fee. I’m placing a call… ?

So I ordered, does anyone know if you can still do a trade in if you didn’t initially choose that option?

Well, I tried it. Didn’t work out, so I’m passing again on this year. In the end, I really want the blood pressure monitoring once Apple mimics Samsung, but the Series 6 sensors and larger screen was enough to get me interested enough to get me to bite. But it was a balk, which means it wasn’t meant to be anyway. Maybe next year, not that Tim cares.

Ordered a 45mm aluminum starlight and got the confirmation at 8:03am Eastern (which says October 15th delivery). But app shows January delivery like many posters here. I'm assuming it's a glitch?

If I get mine a few days/weeks later that's no big deal. But I'd be surprised if it's actually Jan.

Just ordered starlight 41mm from very in the UK with 15/10 delivery. Would have preferred a different band but l dont mind the starlight one. I had a code for 10% cashback on my account too which was a nice bonus. Not sure if that’s available for everyone.
 
Um...Yea it reads 11/1/21 - 11/8/2021. You have to realize that some countries have the DD/MM/YY format oppose to the MM/DD/YY format.x
Ahh! I got fooled 😂 I saw the tweet early in the morning. Running on 3 hours of sleep again. It was a hot mess. Thanks for clarifying that.

How does the UPS tracking work again? Do things just show up in the MyChoice dashboard automatically or do I need to specifically search by a reference number?

I saw that but Apple will give me £120 trade in so opted for that instead, as opposed to the £39 cash back from Very.

Date for titanium in the UK is still the same as when I ordered it at preorder time, this seems like in the UK, the date is set and it was impossible to get it earlier

Yeah that’s the only thing… I now have to deal with the faff of sticking my old one on eBay instead!

Question: Let's say I want Gold SS with a Gold Milanese Loop. That's unavailable, but let's say Gold SS with a Black Milanese Loop (theoretically) is available for pick-up next Friday.

Can I buy the Gold SS with Black Milanese Loop, pick it up next Friday, and then just exchange the Black Milanese Loop with the separate Gold Milanese Loop in store? Can I return the Black Milanese Loop, which comes with the actual watch I bought? If so, how much would the refund be?
nope, return entire order only.

No luck with any bands that I can stand for a Blue Aluminum 45 gps/cellular. I've never tried pre-ordering anything in 10+ years of Apple products. I phoned in and the Apple salesperson said, sorry, try again every day this week. The chat person told me 3 colors of bands that were available that I couldn't stand. What do you seasoned pre-order people think? As others have said, wish we could just order the watch without a band, I've already got plenty.

Anyone else get a product red with red braided solo loop or was it just me lol

I gotta admit I was looking at the green aluminum with green leather band for a quick second before I got my order in. That one looks gorgeous, on the website at least.

also the black titanium and graphite SS with dark cherry braided loop or leather band looks deadly. Too bad I can’t connect more than one cellular Apple Watch to my iPhone lol. My s6 gold SS is nicely holding down the fort.

I don’t think they have any titanium available for launch. I think it’s behind schedule.
Yeah, it seems odd that it’s either 10th November or unavailable for 45mm, or 3rd November or unavailable for 41mm, it’s been like that for hours

Any Space Black Titanium owners out there that got a promised launch date????

I have a feeling I might be the only one who is promised an October delivery date for Space Black Titanium Model. Please verify or correct me.
I had the option of launch day delivery or pickup for my 45mm SBTi. Went with the standard colored sport loop and chose launch day pick up.
Anyone else trying to get Apple Watch Series 7 in gold stainless steel? Looks like all the combinations are pushed back to November…
I went for my wife’s Gold 41mm first thing as I got into the store at 5:01 and all combinations already said Nov 2nd and no stores around had them for pick up. It’s a surprise for her anyways so an extra week or two won’t matter.
