Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE Available Friday With Pre-Orders Beginning Today

Is the braided loop really worth $50 more?

Still no LTE band 71 for T-Mobile, that’s unfortunate.

I really wasn't going to upgrade from my S4 but I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I got the aluminum one, like my S4 and I got a trade in for $140 so I don't feel like I'm out that much in the long run. I'm hoping that I can stay on this two to three year upgrade program. I ordered the silver one again because I like it and it goes with all of my brands. Even though I was very tempted by the new blue color. I order the Spruce Aurora/Vapor Green Nike sport band to go with it. Order says September 25th-29th but like everyone else, I'm hoping for earlier.

gps or cellular?

I’m thinking if you don’t cut it along the dotted line you won’t get an accurate measurement.

Who has time for this with hundreds of thousands of Apple fans battling it out to buy! 😆

I don’t think Space Black SS is even available anymore, so not sure which one you are looking at.

However, It looks like you can mix and match bands with faces in the watch studio on apple’s website (can do sport bands with SS models, etc.).

I guess only as a Hermes: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watc...reSelect=false&product=MG333LL/A&step=detail#
well, not going for it anyway, and once they show up in stores, and my local store re-opens, I will take a look

no b71 600 mhz for t-mobile :-(

My problem I ride bicycle and want to know my oxygen level.

This is really annoying! It’s been since s4 that we anticipated band 71 and we are now 2 versions past and still not support. I really hope this is a typo or website error

Assuming they're are running WatchOS 7 which needs iOS 14, I guess that means we must be seeing iOS 14 this week.

Tomorrow, 16 Sep.

Does watch SE have always on screen?

No.......

 

[dariosaurusrex]

I wonder when they are going to be available at Best Buy, i have about $200 in BestBuy Rewards...

 

[thimplicity]

LTE $50 less price increase for SE than Series 6 - apparently not cost-based pricing

One of the topics on the thread related to the discontinuance of the Ceramic model is whether or not Stainless models still have the Sapphire screen. Do we know if this is the case? People are unable to find mention of it on Apple’s website. I think this thread has more visitors, so thought I would pose the question here.

If the aluminum and stainless have the same screen, I would reconsider paying a $200+ premium for the stainless.

The new braided loops are really cool. Too bad they're $99.

I saw that! I think I'll go with the Nike version this time, and maybe get one of the bands after

If a $900 titanium watch doesn't have sapphire, then i think Apple has lost it's mind. I'm pretty sure the respective glass faces are same as ver 5 models. they would have mentioned something. And it doesn't say the high end ones are not saphire. Saphire is the main reason I order the high end ones. Very different wear..

edit: apparently apple support confirmed sapphire still..

Just placed an order for a 40mm SG Aluminium S6, GPS+Cellular, delivery scheduled for this Friday! I got the regular sports band with it, as I already have a Milanaise Loop and a Nike sports band as well, so no need for anything else really.

 

[SuprUsrStan]

Anyone able to order the apple watch with the RED braided sport loop? It's showing up as unavailable. Did they say anything about when that will be available for purchase?

 

[MrBlaz3]

No mention in the descriptions:

Nike version ordered. Stupidly delivery window end of next week when I possibly will be down south for 2 days...

 

[Nik]

Ordered the Stainless Steel Graphite with Milanese Loop: Delivers Sep 18th

 

[vagos1103gr]

I haven't been able to verify if the Ti (or any for that matter) have the sapphire display.

i called apple support and they confirmed is sapphire

 

[btrach144]

Got my Hermes Series 6 with Bambou (green) watch ordered!

 

[Golgafrincham]

Interestingly the price of a series 6 is £20 cheaper than the series 5 was, and, the 5W charger is £19. (UK)

 

[btrach144]

Anyone notice the Apple Watch models are all stating shipping times of "Sep 25 - Sep 29"? I may just go in-store and grab one...

Careful with where you live. I went to the Indianapolis and Dayton stores a month ago and you only get into the store if you have an appointment or a pick up order. They were turning away people (and their money) to try and keep social distancing in practice it seemed.

Just an FYI that this year won't be like any in the past.

 

[sfwalter]

Are all the watch faces they showed in the keynote available to older watch models or do summer of them require a series 6 watch? They showed some nice looking watch faces.

[UPDATE] Yes they do https://9to5mac.com/2020/09/15/heres-which-apple-watches-support-new-watchos-7-faces/

 

[delta0]

Heading to the store on Friday morning to buy the watch there. Didn’t want to preorder online as I wanted to see the colour first.

 

[Dominicanyor]

I wonder if I could trade my Apple Watch s5 for the new s6?
