Bought a S6 AW and was expecting a 3 month trial of Fitness+ but just get the standard 1 month option.

Purchased from Apple. All devices on latest software.

Is this affecting anyone else and has anyone found a solution?
 
I'm also having this issue I got my Apple Watch after September 15th and I'm only seeing 1 month as well, I do have family sharing on. I'm yet to find a solution.
 
Same here. I ordered an S6, which arrived on release day and only seeing an option for the 1 month trial.

I tried turning off family sharing but that didn’t solve it, so I think that’s a red herring.

It’s only £20 but it’s just a bit annoying, given that Apple advertised it!
 
I don't have the 3 month trial option either and I also purchased a series 6 in September. Im hoping that it will all resolve itself in a few hours given that they haven't released the iPad app yet either. Fingers crosses 🤞
 
I got the 3 months renews March 14 2021

No 3 months trial fo rme either, despite buying my watch from the apple website. Contacted support, and their support software was not working (running on Windows?)- they have asked me to come back another time. So no fitness workout for me in the morning unless they get the bugs sorted. Sad face.

I activated my Apple Watch 6 on October 21st and I'm offered the three month free trial on my iPhone.
 
Oddly, I bought an AW 6, ended up returning it about 1.25 months ago.. 3 month trial showed up on my activity app after SW update on iPhone and AW 4. I’ll take it.. ;-)
 
I got a series 6 on launch day and wasn't getting the opetion for a 3 month trial either.

Called Apple support and they gave me a code to redeem in the app store which has worked and actually given me 4 months free!
 
Had the same issue and got it resolved in 30 minutes on the phone with Apple support.

Have a copy of your invoice ready if this happens to you as they asked for one (even though I bought it from Apple directly - must be a security thing)

I also got it till Mid April so 4 months too :)

I bought my S6 watch at Best Buy and got an email today with a code to add an additional 3 months (6 months total) for free access...
 
Just got a notification on my phone to extend my 1 month free trial to 3 months as I had signed up without getting the 3 month option.
 
Contacted Apple support on Monday when my 3 month trial wasn’t appearing so they gave me 4 months for free. However I’ve now been promoted to claim my free 3 months in the app so I now have a Fitness+ subscription until July!
 
Been trying for several days, no luck. Apple support said to call back. To heck with it. Deleted the email. Not worth the aggravation.
 
How long do you have to decide to sign up?
From the Fitness+ page on Apple.com:

“You’ll need to update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest OS, and you’ll have three months to redeem the offer after the first activation of the eligible device.”
 
I contacted Apple via their support chat and they gave em a code to redeem on iTunes that gave a 4 month trial.
