I've just ordered a cellular 44mm silver aluminium with seashell sport loop, they have it in stock at Liverpool, going to pick it up at 10:30!!

Haven't had an Apple Watch since the Series 2, which my son now has, so I'm very excited :)

Loving this, wasn't sure about the strap but it feels really comfortable against my wrist.
I'll test out Strava later this evening.

Not entirely sure but I think it isn't helping that I have multiple lines on my account. My wife was primary, then they updated my line to be primary but now there are TWO primary lines and the watch line as secondary.

I think finally its been escalated so hopefully will get sorted. The CS annoying keeps asking to call me back which is a PITA during the work day, and keep emphasising 'no need to call us, we'll call you' - i.e. stop bothering us :p

Not like I'm even going to use it, just want the thing I ordered to be set up properly.

I have cellular on my watch now. It took a bit of doing but I finally contacted the Twitter team and they set it up for me. It works brilliantly. Contact them on Twitter. They seem to know what they are doing compared to the chat and 191 teams.

I am currently with three but thinking of changing so I can use cellular on my watch. How do Vodafone and EE compare? Anyone switched from 3? Did it take long to get sorted?

I notice a lot on my phone I can hear the person at the other end but they can’t hear me. I have to end the call and start a new one. Is that likely to be a problem with three?

In my experience EE are faster outside and support Appley features quickly, but Vodafone's lower frequency means that unlike when I was with EE, I still get a signal inside buildings and they're still pretty fast, and they support WiFi Calling and VoLTE, if not Visual Voicemail.

Decisions decisions, EE, Vodafone or stay with 3 and don’t use cellular on my phone

What watch are you waiting for. A lot of online orders seem to be shipped ahead of time

Space Grey aluminium 40mm with sports loop, original got back to them on Wednesday and up till then the date was 15th to the 22nd, that was bad enough, now added a week. They really should be holding a small amount of stock for quick replacements.

Yeah i know what you mean but i thought they made replacements a priority. I returned my SBSS 4m because of a defect with the casing. Apple told me that a soon as they receive my watch they will ship the replacement. My delivery date says the 25th October so we shall see

Should say mine a 44mm.

Exciting to see movement.

I popped into the Glasgow store on Tuesday after work and was told 1 44mm silver SS with Sport Band had been delivered and sold pretty much instantly!

Not long to wait I guess. Have my Max but was far more excited for the Watch upgrade as went from the X to Xs Max but going Series 0 to 4.

Just returned my unopened SS SB 44mm watch to the brum store. Changed my mind and wanted silver SS instead

Heh, that's my local store and the watch I want. Wonder if it'll go back on sale ASAP or have to go through a process to check it first.

Er, you know it doesn't literally show you the message as text right? Just means you don't need to call and get a list of them: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201436
Imagine if Siri transcribed your voicemails for you though… now that’d be a personal assistant!
[doublepost=1538115160][/doublepost]Now the hunt begins for a 44mm stainless steel with sport band. It was available for a while at my local store earlier this week but I was still uncertain (and didn’t have the wife’s approval).
