I am in Australia and am so disappointed in Apple with this Watch release
I simply don’t understand how they can showcase colour and band combinations on their Series 7 page and then not offer them for pre-order
BUT
have these combinations available for pre-order from OTHER retailers!
WT actual F!
I can only guess that they were exclusives or there is so little supply, they couldn't have them in both locations.

Pretty much, even the smaller bezels in apple promos don’t look right. Hardly any difference. 🤔

I can see the difference there between the 6 and 7. The bezel/black section of course still exists on the 7 but it's where it is glued to the body of the watch. The fact that the size increase is essentially evenly distributed from the middle makes it a bit of an optical illusion. I think if you took the two rectangles and aligned them at a corner, the difference would appear more noticeable. I mocked up a quick visual on this. Same two boxes aligned center/center vs. left/top. Blue box has 20% more area than orange.

I said on the poll I did not intend to buy the S7. However at the last minute I decided I wanted a larger screen so I traded in my S6 40mm for an S7 45mm starlight case with starlight band. Will do an in store pickup on the 15th.

I wonder how many others changed their minds wrt the poll?
 
I buy an AW every 2 to 3 years, I have the 4 now, I’m looking forward to the always on Display!
I see no point in annual upgrades as they are always small upgrades.

I’m also glad they didn’t do the flat look that was rumored. It looked a bit childish. This rounded look is more mature.
 
Preparing to ship! Nothing in track by reference or My Choice yet. Probably by morning, though!

Preparing to ship means little. When the charge hits your card/bank then you are close.

I hope the dates will be sooner, mine is Nov 2-9 but…. We will see.
 
there is not a lot of urgency on the AW7, I just checked for giggles and you can order today and still get Nov 3-10. I ordered a SS and it was 2-9 at 8:15AM (5:15AMPT) the day of release and got Nov. 2-9

Good morning everyone! It is 6:54AM on a Saturday morning 10/09/2021 at San Francisco, California. 54° Cloudy.

It is nice and chilly in here. Hope everyone is doing well. Today, few of the lucky ones will get a scan today. Apple Watch may ship from Vietname this year. Once you see your scan generated, please report it here, ASAP! it will be interesting finding out where the Apple Watch is coming from. China or Vietnam? We will find out. Hope everyone is going to have a good day.

good morning!!! Nice to be on this thread with you too!!!! my 45mm SBSS Hermes hasn’t switched yet to prepare to ship and my order went in at 5:01am. It could already be here in the US.

Thank you, I don’t think any one of the watches are in US. They are all coming from China or Vietnam. Today, the famous tech people are the only people that have the Apple Watch. They should be getting it today. Since they have to review the Watch and post reviews by Tuesday.

They have them now! Apparently they got them last Monday! Embargo on Wednesday!
