I have been a long time AW owner and recently purchased Garmin's Fenix 7X. I used it for three weeks and returned it. I did enjoy the size, the look, battery life, however I did not like the lack of smart features and lack of integration with iphone. I am glad I did the return because the Ultra was announced a week later

What were the top smart features you missed from AW?
(I was using AW S0-S4 and then jumped to Fenix 6X that I am still using. Now contemplating on getting back to AW with the Ultra)
No I ordered it last Thursday morning, the day after the announcement. Not a big dieal, I just have to wait a few more days. I may try some of the local places and see if they have any on launch day.
Thank you.
Orange Alpine ordered 9/10 just slipped from 10/3 to 10/11. Hmm.
It's the stupid bands. Apple needs to allow an option to purchase without a band.
After I ordered AWU - then I went and got my Garmin Fenix 3 out of storage just to be sure. I thought, I use to LOVE this watch and used it for 2 years every day before switching to AW. Let me try it again for a week or so hiking etc...I have been a long time AW owner and recently purchased Garmin's Fenix 7X. I used it for three weeks and returned it.

I can't. I gave up after like 8 hours lol
I am so used to having cellular connection.
I am so used to having Apple Music streaming.
I am so used to easily loading my off-line music onto watch.
I am so used to Siri reading my messages out to me and being able to reply hands free while climbing.
I am so used to being able to take calls when I leave my phone at home (go to gym)
And other conveniences...
It's just the AW battery life that hurts me... I did an 18 hour Everest climb with the Garmin and it was great...
Still - Apple has me trapped in their (I think great) ecosystem!
Orange is the bomb, totally ordered that one!
I live within 25 mins drive from 3 different Apple Stores, so I'm hoping I can get one on or near the 23rd.
I just saw my first hint that my Ultra ordered through Verizon will arrive on the 23rd, the date promised. Although I ordered on the 9th, up until now, there has been no indication of my order within my online account. Now I have a pending order. If I am remembering correctly, this means that shipping is right around the corner.
I’m in the 9/29-10/6 group and curious what others experienced from other launches. when did they see delivery times improve, the day of the launch, before launch or combo? Just not a patient person I’ll be checking local apple stores as well on the 23rd…. What time do they typically allow you to check stock and reserve? Thanks

ThanksIf the ultras are coming from China, we should see the 9/23 orders pop up in ups MyChoice (for US) and go preparing to ship over the weekend. The orders in the later windows might start seeing their dates pushed up during the course of next week.I’m in the 9/29-10/6 group and curious what others experienced from other launches. when did they see delivery times improve, the day of the launch, before launch or combo?

In my experience, any non-Launch day order I have had with Apple has ended up with a delivery that date was was in a window that was 5 days sooner. So I think there’s a good chance that a 9/29-10/6 window is actually delivered in the 9/24-10/1 range.
But every product is different.
Yes, I thought it was quite a nice contrast to the watch and matches the button and detailing too.
This is the calm before the "Just got my preparing for shipment!!!" storm coming in a few days LOL!Quiet in here this afternoon compared to a few other threads isn't it
This next week is going to drag! I am already getting very impatient! Next Friday is going to feel like Christmas for me.
Are we seeing any movement at all on the Ultras? Sorry, I’m like a kid at Christams. lol
Just got my credit card charged for it 20 minutes ago.
After waffeling back and forth over upgrading my SS S6 to the Ultra, I bit the bullet and ordered one today. I'm hoping the ship date moves up from 10/14-10/21 to early October. I'm going on a 10 day vacation at the end of Oct, and having the extra battery life sold me. I took my S6 off the charger at 7am and it's already down to 73%.
