I’m still processing order with the slip to 10/5

Booo. I think I ordered later in the evening when I was able to preorder. I was on the fence if I wanted it or not. Then found out they EOL my series 3. So figured I better order this or the 8.

When I saw the price I thought that was a great deal to replace my series 4.

My series 4 works great, did not see enough of a change for the 5,6,7 in fact, prob. not would have bought the 8 if Ultra was not around.
 
Departed KR!

No movement with BestBuy (9/23 delivery), credit card still not charged.
I have a pending charge, and my order says packaging your item. Shows arriving by Friday.

Guess I'll see. BestBuy has a spotty record with Apple preorders. Preordered a watch a few years ago, and it got delayed. Have an order with Apple, but delivery not until October. Plan on cancelling it, if my BB order actually shows up on Friday.

Just got pushed back as well. Moved

from Sep 29 - Oct 6
to Oct 4 - Oct 11

Nothing early, but rather later …

No email, no communication. Just quietly moved the delivery window out when checking status.
 
It’s leaving Korea to go to another area of Korea or onwards to North America continent?

I put the whole route with all the flights, flight numbers and departure/arrival times a page or 2 back...

Anyways - our plane in Korea had an issue - all cargo had to be re-scanned - losing us 1 hour - we might have enough time to catch the flight in Alaska but cutting it close now...


AND

Had to detour... something happened in the flightpath... Not weather... Probably North Korea saying they are firing rockets or something...

Hoping my link bracelet works on the ultra.. waste of money if it doesn’t.
According to the Apple Store “Compatibility” section for the Stainless Steel link bands, they are only compatible with the “38mm, 40mm, and 41mm Apple Watch models”. However, a friend has the 45mm Gold SS Series 8 with a Space Black link band on order so I’m not really sure!

There are two sizes of link bracelets. The one you've referenced is for the smaller Apple Watch. The larger link bracelet for the larger watch models is compatible with 42, 44, and 45-millimetre Apple Watches, and probably also compatible with the Apple Watch Ultra.
