Apple Watch Series 5 Pre-Order Thread (US)

[thepro8]

Lost my Nike series two last weekend in a lake. Ordered a Nike series five.

Changed mind and got gold ss Milanese instead of black. The trade in for s3 ss black was a joke though. Guess I’ll sell it but want to try new watch first.

I’m only a little hesitant because now I do expect more speed (and more features as result) next year with s6.

pulled the trigger on a stainless steel 44mm. my last one was a series 2 sport, havent had a SS since series 0. thought i might get a series 4 but the cost difference seems like $100 and manageable (if i find a great great deal ill just cancel my current order)

pretty psyched. went through the work system for $15 off, picking it up on the 20th.

44mm Ti with Anchor Black sport band. I was concerned the Ti May look too much like the aluminum but this hands on video convinced me to go Ti with no reservations. Looks outstanding!

I ordered an SG Nike+ 44mm GPS with black sport loop. Oct 7 delivery.

I ordered at 2:00p central time and was surprised that my ship date had already slipped to October 8. I'm hoping Apple is just being conservative with their ship times (underpromise, overdeliver) as they have been with iPads and Macs I've ordered for day 1 delivery in the past.

If my ship date moves forward, I'll post here to add another data point to those of you tracking your orders, too.

I ordered a 40mm SS with a stone band because it's neutral and I just couldn't decide. The only new band I really liked that was different enough from all I already own was the Nike Pink Blast/True Berry Sport Loop, so I ordered that too. The AW comes on September 20th, the Nike band on October 4th.

Ordered the 44MM Apple Watch Edition in Titanium. Also order is preparing to ship and card was charged!

That’s what I would of gotten if I didn’t have the series 4 space black stainless steel already. I always wanted the silver stainless steel but hate hours they scratched so easily. I have a titanium Tissot watch that looks just as new now as when I bought it so I decided to get the titanium Apple Watch this time around!

Good choice though I’m sure you’ll enjoy it I love my black stainless steel!

Based upon prior years Apple always has good in-store stock of the aluminum watches on release/delivery day. So if I were you I would use the istock site and check Apple stores in your area to pick one up on the 20th.

I'm finally upgrading my Series 0 SS Space Black to a 44mm Titanium with Anchor Gray Sport Loop. Should be quite an upgrade!

It's already "Preparing to Ship" and my card was charged.

 

[nattK]

The Apple Watch Edition is not available via the Veterans and Military Store grrrr

 

[rosegoldoli]

I preordered the Hermes Apple Watch

 

[Legion103]

Ordered my 44mm Silver Aluminum - I was thinking of upgrading this year to the SS, but decided to pass.

Here’s what I choose as the band, what do you guys think?

That's a handsome band. The Sport Loop bands are my favorite. So comfortable!

 

[fishkorp]

My ceramic Edition also preparing to ship. The aluminum for my wife isn't. Those are probably already local stock (just a guess).

(Unrelated, my Pro and Pro Max cases have already shipped and will be delivered on the 13th)

 

[BLuRRnAWAY]

To match my Product Red 256GB iPhone Xr

I ordered the exact same one, but to match my jeep rubicon

 

[Lobwedgephil]

Mine went preparing to ship and card charged overnight as well!

Not sure why the Nike always comes 2 weeks after the regular, but alas Im excited to be upgrading my S3.

Looks great! I chose the silver aluminum with the Alaskan blue sports band.

i think the Nike watch is being released later for whatever reason. I ordered two Nike bands and they are slated for a later delivery date

Nice choice!

It comes with a sport strap extra already. You should have selected a different strap. Now you may have two identical.

The Sport Loops and Sport Straps are sufficiently different IMHO to be worth having one of each.
