Picked up in store. I was third. Back at work now. Trying not to play with it until I get home.

That is torture!
 
DPD text for 1300-1400 as usual.

Warrington depot. I'm assuming it's for both orders placed.

Argos still had stock of Silver so ordered for tomorrow to compare - I think I'll prefer that colour this time.
 
Does anyone know the best way to get my watch onto my new phone without losing today’s progress? The instructions are actually not clear as to which stage I unpair the watch.

Do I:
1-Unpair the watch; 2-back up the phone, 3-restore new phone from backup 4-pair watch from backup?

I might do a complimentary phone back up before unpairing too.
 
Email confirmation and pending transaction on the Amex too (plus the wife doing some airport shopping!)

I’m still sceptical given the website issues they’ve had. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s screwed up allocations with orders.
I’ve always been hopeful with JL collections usually smooth and no problems fingers crossed. When we get the dispatched email we will know eh
 
Well dpd now out for delivery but delivery window of between 3.55 and 4.55pm..... it’s going to be a long day!
 
Finally got through on JL website, they only had 64GB silver left, luck that was what I wanted. Helped paying by Paypal instead of getting stuck on credit card authentication.

Only problem is, I can't pick it up until Monday! Aaargh!

That’s what I’ve done before and it works.
 
I've always backed up then unpaired.

As long as your watch has synced activity data to the phone app it should restore fine from the phone backup. The rest of your steps look good to me... Re-pairing watches takes ages.
 
There was a knack to getting it faster on JL... ;)

Do tell...Did you phone them? I eventually got through with JL but the site said they were out stock.


Either way I'm all set now. As soon as it turns up I'll cancel my Apple order.
 
Mine (UKMail) has just switched to out for delivery, Milton Keynes depot.
No text with delivery window yet.

On a side note, I've been running every beta since WWDC on my iPhone 7 (all were updates) so am minded to go for fresh clean install on the X instead of restoring from backup.
Thoughts?

Never understood the whole set up as new thing. If you have a backup use it.
