Just trying that!

Tried but says it's up top date iOS 10.3.3
I'm sorry to say that but you need to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 11 to pair any Apple Watch with watchOS 4.

Hi thanks yes I eventually realised that although had to do the beta version as my phone was not showing /allowing an update to 11 and I didn't have acccess to iTunes to do it manually.

Where did you get that SS? Apple was showing wait times from the start which made me think they weren’t available yet.

For sport owners, did you go for grey or silver? I'd be coming from a series 0 SS so leaning towards the grey to be less standout, but not liking the very limited band choices. Also annoyed that the sport loops are only on LTE for now.

UK order? Apple, or somewhere else? Delivered or instore?

UK, pre-ordered direct with Apple and instore pickup at my local store :)

Direct from Apple. I pre-ordered at 8:02am and they were available for collection at my local store for at least another 24 hours after I ordered (this is the 38mm case).

It was the same for me to. I pretty much preordered the 42MM version as soon as the preorders went live and for the 2-3 week wait. Mine is due between October 9th and 16th. There was no in store pick up available in any of the London stores for me. It's a bit annoying but at least those who got them early will be able to test them out and hopefully provide solutions to any issues so my experience will be smoother.

Well I just checked and my 42mm Stainless Steel Cellular with White Sport Band has already gone to preparing for dispatch so it looks like I will actually get it a lot earlier then I expected. :)

Just checked and mine is also preparing for dispatch and this was scheduled for 9th - 16th Oct, hopefully it will ship soon :D

This was the 42mm SS cellular with white sports band.

Picked up my ceramic tonight and it’s all set up and I’m very happy
I really wanted the Ceramic white one but I couldn't justify that and the iPhone X too so close to each other in release dates.

Really pleased to see the early movement on this model. I tried the ss with the white strap in store yesterday and it is really, really nice! I don't think any of you will be disappointed :D As I said above my too pink too small gold is going back and I have now got this model in order. 3-4 week wait quoted but am going to check local store stock at 6am daily as I suspect they will get one or two in stock before that.

Yes I preordered the same one. :)

I know what you mean I briefly considered getting a Hermes or ceramic model and not getting the X until I remembered I need to sell my 7+ to part fund the X!

[doublepost=1506375440][/doublepost]I should get about 400 quid for my 256 GB iPhone 7 Plus so I will go for the iPhone X in black. That will be a nice contrast to my ceramic

It's the same for me. I'm going to sell my 7 Plus to subsidise the cost of the X.

I'm looking at around that much for my 256GB 7 Plus maybe a little more. Whatever I get will go towards the cost of the X.

Picked up mine today ! :D
No big news or awesomeness effect as it's one AWS replacing another. Just the feeling of brand-newness. The AW feels slightly thicker and maybe a tad heavier? And of course, it is so much, MUCH faster.

On a sidenote, we don't get the nice box with the Apple logo any more... bummer. That's reserved for them Ceramic, Hermes and other expensive models. :p

Apple series 3 Nike plus shipping now delayed 4 to 5 weeks. Was postponing the reservation because was giving me delivery on launch day and now have to wait more than one month. Do I make the reservation anyway?
