EU Apple Watch 10 Pre-Order Thread

[Ubuntu]

In Belgium I just received a text for delivery from DHL but no time window, just business hours.

I ordered a Black Ultra 2 with Milanaise Band - estimated delivery date was october 17-24.
I canceled the order yesterday and ordered a Black Ultra 2 with the green Alpine Loop (est. delivery september 26).
Today I got the info that it is already shipped.

Wow, didn't expected this.

Oh good, I got a smaller time frame. First one was between 9.00 and 19.00 and now it’s estimated between 12.30 and 16.30. So hopefully I can set it up before I have to cook dinner

It has arrived already!! Way too early, so nice 👌🏻 And that while yesterday it looked like it would not happen today.

It’s a 42mm Apple Watch 10 with a plum sport band! And I love the packaging!

So I guess I’m busy today getting to know my first Apple Watch. And I’m retiring my Garmin today Was looking forward to the Apple Watch 10 and to retire the Garmin since March.

Still waiting on my natural titanium 42mm series 10. Gah. It's DHL, so I either get it today or I get to deal with a "you weren't home (lie, we didn't check) so we're going to deliver it to a service point on Monday"

DHL and UPS are the worst delivery companies here where I live.

That should never happen at express. They got payed extra for the more speedy and reliable delivery. Like mentioned before DHL and DHL Express are so far apart that they even use different apps for tracking and sending stuff.

Here you go!

I photographed it in three different light conditions. The band is a very deep purple. I really like it. In the shadow it’s very dark and in the daylight it’s really purple.

lint is visible within one second though, as you can see.

I ordered it as an addtional band, but I also have the dark cherry one. From your photos they look nearly identical.

 

[Pixels7]

From the product photos om my Color calibrated display it looks almost the same indeed. The plum has a tiny bit more blue in it, as far as I can tell.

I wanted to buy the dark Cherry one as well, I saw it for €19. But I thought it maybe was too similar to the plum one. So then I got the clover one. That’s definitely different! 😄

UPS is on it's way with my AW Ultra 2 Satin Black and Black Milanese Loop.
Going to upgrade from my S4. Can't wait.

It arrived! Anyone gotten the "play anything from the watch's speaker" to work? I don't really see the option say in Apple Music to just play through the watch speaker. It behaves like before and wants to play on BT/Airplay.

edit: got it working by long pressing on "iphone" (to stop it from playing to there) and maybe it was a prerequisite to also have "silent mode" disabled from the control centre.

This purple reminds me the default color of GBA and GameCube from Nintendo in 2001. Nice color !

Looks I'll be getting my packages late or both of them within a 30 minute zoom call that is about to start. Litteraly the only set appointment in the work day and they are going to ring twice. xD

Case in point.

have it now.
Kinda not used to it now. It looks so much bigger due to the black. But it also looks so much cleaner with the shiny black seeming like one pice with the glass.

My Ultra 2 Satin Black with Black Milanese Loop just got delivered (Netherlands).

 

[roman59]

Pre ordered the Series 10 silver aluminium cellular from Amazon got no idea when it will be despatched

 

[Smartwatchlover]

No pre-order, this morning I just entered the Apple Store located in Rome downtown, asked for a 46mm Aluminium black with Milanese loop, waited like 30 minutes and walked out with my new watch on the wrist...

Very nice by the way: coming from the S6 44mm, the difference is pretty big!

Excluding classic mat silver, I think Jet Black is the first time Apple nailed a color on a aluminium Apple Watch.
