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

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.
The green/green leather was 1/3 of the ones I ended up ordering to see which I will ultimately keep. I blame this ridiculous lack of information in advance! TBH I like the green leather much more than the Milanese.

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.
Did you order with one of the custom size closed loop bands ?

I ordered a 45mm Space Black Titanium and have a delivery date of October 26th - 28th. Hoping its just an over estimation from Apple but doubt I'll get it on the 15th. Oh well. I've waited this long. I can make it another few weeks. =] Coming from a S5 44mm SBTi, really excited for the bigger screen and faster charging!

My wife couldn‘t decide between the Braided, Sport Loop, or Sport Band. So we’ve got all three on order, haha!!

So I ordered, does anyone know if you can still do a trade in if you didn’t initially choose that option?
Yes, but it will come to you on a gift card if you send it in. If you go to a store, you will get instant credit. I had the same issue.

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.
If you want the AW quickly ....... order it with a band that is not your first choice ..... then buy the one you like ..... the alternative is to wait until the combo you want is available.

You know you could've just ordered one watch and the other bands separately right?
Of course, but that’s another $100. She doesn’t want all three bands.

ETA: What’s going to happen is she’ll decide in the next couple of days and I’ll cancel the other two. Easy-peasy and she gets the AW with her preferred band on Launch Day.

I wasn’t able to wake up at 5:00 PM because I need at least 5-5:30 hours of sleep. But did not miss anything. The Product Red has only braided single loop and I need sport silicone (allergies…) and the green one has in silicone only the solo loop and am not sure about any type of solo loops. So I can only go to a store and see/try them on there. No launch date delivery for me :confused:
I’m glad most of you got what you wanted :apple: for when you wanted them.

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.
Must be the black solo loop. I ordered the aluminum midnight. Order confirmation said next Friday, now says “arrives Jan”. Not what I was wanting to see.

Do you know if I need an appointment for the store? I couldn’t really find that info on the website…

Do people on here ever swap bands? The blue watch is available in abyss blue/moss green sport loop, but not in any of the other bands (blue) that I want.

I’m still undecided and so ordered one midnight and one SS graphite. This would be my first SS watch. I dont like the super shiny look of the SS and prefer the matte finish of the alu/titanium editions… but I want the scratch resistant sapphire screen. The midnight will be delivered on launch day, the SS graphite is a launch day store pick up. Well, a few days left to make my decision…

Yeah I was thinking the brown inside on the band looks crazy good but then no one will ever see it lol. And I agree on the Milanese. I have a Milanese and on s6 gold SS and it’s aight but I could live without it for sure.

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!!!

My 45 cellular blue watch with dark blue loop will arrive 15.10. I’ve ordered it twice but had to cancel one order because of vat number problem but fortunately second order (few minutes later) is also planned for launch day. I’m changing from aw3, so it will be huuuge improvement:)

Now more than 5 hrs later, if I order the watch now, it would still have the same delivery date (11/1-11/8) as it did at 5am this morning. ??‍♂️
