I gave up and ordered a whole watch. Who knows when the bands will show up?

I am trying not to do this since I am outside of the return window and I would have to sell this watch. (Or rather sell the new watch after I removed that MB)! :)

Yeah. I was fortunate that my son wanted one shortly after launch. I wasn't 100% happy with my launch day Milanese, so when I ordered a couple of 38mm watches for him (trying to get one in time for his birthday) the two new ones suddenly sped up and shipped within days of one another. I took one and he got the other. That let me return the ML.

When I saw how long the MB was taking to show up as an individual band, I ordered one. Then, when it was SO SLOW, I ordered another.

The black medium MB came 2 days before my return deadline. LOL.

Then, my daughter decided she really wanted the watch I was returning. So, that was that.

I should get the midnight blue next week. It'll give me time to choose between the blue and the black. I think I'm going to prefer the blue, but who knows?
 
After all this time it better be a perfect watch! :D

I hope it is indeed flawless. I've bought a few (we have 4 people here in the house wearing them now) and so far, the only issue has been that 2 of them had slightly wobbly buttons, but they aren't a big deal as they work perfectly fine. :)
 
Hello! I was the one who works as a flight attendant and had another 8 day trip starting on the 3rd but had a delivery window of June 4th- June 8th.

After an annoying fiasco with UPS, I managed to get it today - June 3rd! I was the first person at that delivery pickup center right as the doors opened ;)

For reference, my watch is a Small Midnight blue modern buckle ordered around 8am EST on April 10th.

I'm so happy right now :D
Beautiful watch. I ordered one as a surprise for my wife this week, ship times are down to 1-2 weeks, so I bit. Enjoy your watch, I've had my 42 mm SS ML for a month now and I love it.
 
It's here! Now to learn how to use it. :eek:

You'll have it down perfectly in no time. You've had weeks to prepare!

I purposely didn't look at any tutorials as I knew I'd just forget everything by the time the watch arrived. :p
I had to look at them all multiple times today as my watch kept turning off when I was trying to follow along. At least I have the watch face and Apple Pay set up. I have the fitness app info on and will probably have to go through that again, although it is reminding me to stand up. I'm heading out to the Apple store shortly to buy a white sports band and Applecare. Thank you for the support during my long wait!

Oh, absolutely! Enjoy it. :)
 
It's worth considering that either of you may have a contact allergy, possibly to nickel: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204665

I do have a nickel allergy, but this was a bruise, not a rash (which is what I get from nickel). I haven't had any more trouble since that first week, but I've been more careful with the buckle and my laptop since then.

(And my watch is still wonderful, too!)

I was in a hurry this morning and I pinched the skin on my wrist closing the buckle. I just have a red mark there now but I think this could cause a bruise.

I nearly did that Saturday. Did it hurt?

Not much. I got a small ding on the stainless steel edge bumping into something and that did hurt! :( I just put on the white sports band since I'm going out to walk 5 miles and it will probably rain. Actually I like the look of the watch with the sport band, but it's not as comfortable.

I love the look of the WSB with the watch. I find it comfy, though it can get a bit warm now and then.

Btw, my blue MB finally shipped today!

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll love it. I really like the modern buckle but after wearing the WSB today I found it comfortable as well and it looks sharp. Now if I could just stop looking at that mini scratch on the case...

How'd I miss this? Yours has a scratch already?

I love the MB. I have a black one, but I ordered it after waiting for the blue until I got annoyed. ;)

Small scratch but I'm unhappy about it. I need 36 more calories to meet today's 500 cal goal. Last night I missed it by 5 cal. I was going to get them when I took my dog out for her last walk of the night and forgot I had to do it before midnight. This watch is making me do ridiculous things - I'm going to walk around the basement now because it's raining out. :rolleyes: Hope your watch arrives early tomorrow!

Oh, I do stuff like that. It's funny how I'll go out of my way to satisfy a watch. ;)

It's due here Wednesday. Shipping direct from China. Last I checked, it was in Shanghai!

Did you get it today and do you love it.

Nope. It's somewhere. Finally in the U.S. I know not where. LOL. It's comical. Apple sent me a replacement out of the blue for my husband's SS link bracelet that UPS lost and found a month ago. Weird.
