Ahh, arrived to Las Vegas, Nevada safely. I can finally catch up with this thread now. I had a really good day today. I had a blast in SFO. I will be planning another trip to go back. The best part of the trip was passing over Apple Headquarters! I had chills when I passed that glowing ring. It was truly amazing and marvelous. Almost took my breath away. In the 2nd picture below you can see Apple’s billion dollar headquarters.

Now, back to reality! Congratulations to all with a UPS scans! Happy to see it’s coming from China. Happy and safe travels!!!

Glad you're home safe. While you were having fun in SFO, I was having fun in San Diego. We drive home tomorrow. I'm not ready for vacation to end yet!

I was in San Diego, CA. Last weekend. I had a blast. I was not ready to end my vacation. It came too fast. I’m due for another one already, haha!

Hope you enjoy your vacation.

Just tried on a SS in store and mannnn that is nice. Got an aluminum Starlight coming Friday, but if the color is too gold I may return in and go for the upgrade.
 
Have you checked the battery life? I checked mine recently for the first time. I’ve had this S4 since release day so I think it’s retained decent battery life. I use the workout app/NRC almost daily. I think WatchOS 8 has given it new life and speed as well.

My S4 is at 90%. Most days, it lasts all day (about 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.) with about 30%-40% left. Some days, I have to recharge in the evening, even though I didn’t believe I used it differently. On those days, I reboot, assuming there’s a rogue app draining it. Overall, it’s been adequate to my expectations in terms of battery.

It's amazing the difference in models with always-on display and those without.
My S6 is 91% healthy, and I see there are S4s on this forum with similar health. No doubt the S5 and S6 suffer much more. Let's see how the S7 performs.
I wanted to switch to S7 precisely because of how little battery life I get. If I do 1 h of training and sleep with it, I have to keep an eye on it at all times or it dies...

I am debating if I should change my order or not. I have a Starlight for launch day pick up but now I’m thinking maybe I should get the gold Stainless? Is the quality and look worth the extra cost? I wear yellow gold jewelry, will it clash or is it a similar shade?

AOD will probably be one of the features I turn off as I don’t see a benefit. The only thing that comes to mind with that feature is potential battery drain.

Then again, fast charging may be somewhat of a godsend on heavy usage days or topping off on longer days between charges.
 
once my watch arrives in november, wondering whats a good facewatch to use. with everything like messages heartbeat monitor etc etc. besides telling time.
 
Question—does Apple only sell specific configurations at their stores, or can they mix and match depending on band availability. I’ve been looking online and it seems they have nearly every combo and size of Sport Bands, Sport Loops, and Braided Sport Loops available for the SE. Would seem impractical to have dozens, possibly hundreds, of SKUs in stock.
