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

Before you leave if you can check out Swensens it’s an ice cream that I’ve been going to since I’ve been a little kid. Freaking amazing.

It’s located at Hyde and Union, five minutes from the fisherman’s wharf.
Ohh i miss Swensens. They closed their loication in studio city, ca years ago and i always went there too as a kid!!!!
 
I find it interesting that pre-orders for launch day always seem to move to an order status that can’t be cancelled almost instantly. It’s almost as if the Apple marketing team knows about “buyers remorse” and the fact that most people can’t be bothered to return stuff. That said, I’m looking forward to my aluminium midnight AW7 being delivered on Friday. No remorse here, but it’s a relatively cheap model that I use every day and know it will likely only have a two or three year usable life. That works for me - and I love the health tracking.
 
I love it in here. But damn it’s so expensive and parking sucks haha! One more day to go :( I’m flying back to vegas. Best moment of the day was the Alcatraz Jail! It was so cool.

Well, if we open a travel forum comparable to FlyerTalk then I would point to having gone to 50 states in my 20s and now having gone to 90 countries, several of which many times like Rome in the last few days.

That's impressive ! I've only been to 60 countries so far. Many several times also . You made me want to count out of curiosity ;-)
 
Anyone order from Verizon ? I pre ordered just 20 min after orders opened up and it’s shows oct 29 ship date , is that even possible ? Even Apple had Shillong for next week a day after pre orders

My mid november ti order is showing as "currently unable to cancel please try in a few hours". Wonder if they've got a lot of cancellations / changes going on and have pressed the nuclear "all preorders are final" button for a bit while they sort out what is going where.

Anything is possible when you're talking about Verizon. Even with how bad this Apple Watch rollout has been, I still trust Apple a LOT more than another company to get my order to me as fast as possible. TBH ordering from a carrier would be a distant last option for me.
 
A bunch of this stainless steel configuration just popped up for in store pickup on Friday. If you are in the USA, check your local apple store to see if they updated their stock.. I dont care about the band, I will be using my graphite Milanese from the 6.View attachment 1861301
I just rechecked and there have never been any watches of any finish for pickup in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. None. I have an aluminum coming with 26-28 Oct date but all the talk about SS has me thinking. I’ve had every watch from the beginning but always aluminum. If SS appears for in store pickup on launch day here I’m seriously considering trying SS.
 
Am I correct in my assumption that Apple won’t charge for the full amount until the item is about to ship?

I’m joining the SS club too after having only aluminum in the past. Looking forward to it based on others’ comments! I plan to keep for several years so I’m not as worried about poor trade in value.

Generally yes. Usually there is a pending charge at first and then an official charge when it ships. It’s a bit different if you finance vs. outright.
 
Same for me , I hope I'll like it . No other choice as far as I'm concerned . I stick with AL , I like the mat finish and won't pay a premium for a watch that only last a few years .
Not only that, the resale value of Apple watches is lousy. That’s why I kept my 4 series SSSB. I’ll only get aluminum from now on.
They do last more than a few years though.
 
Can anyone confirm if the graphite has the dlc coating? I have the space black series 4 and it’s held up flawlessly until now, but reluctant to go for a finish on the series 7 that might be worse.
 
Your right this is also available for pick-up on the 15th at the tax free Delaware store. I went on Friday to trade in and order and I ended up having to receive my watch by mail as well as get taxed by Maryland. After one day I miss my watch already!

I asked this question before in different threads. Seems like nobody knows for sure. For the series 6 I found it only on the spanish apple page advertised as dlc. A few people wrote they asked an Apple specialist (whatever that means) and they confirmed to them it isn’t dlc coated. But I won’t give a s**t on such informations. We need an official statement from Apple.
 
The only way I could get the watch on Oct 15 is if I picked it up at the Apple Store, which I decided to do. But now I can’t track it, but it’s okay.
