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

I think I’m gonna upgrade. I have the SS S3 with cellular. Never activated the cellular and honestly, I never got used to the weight of my SS S3 over the Al S0.

Red entry level is calling, lol. That braided solo loop looks sweet. They just need to release MacBooks in that red now.
 
Am thinking of finally getting an Apple Watch.

I was thinking Series 3 (I can find it readily available in stores for $169), but the SE has got me intrigued.

Apple 3 at $169 or the new SE!? Decisions, decisions.

Apple Watch Series 6 GPS 44mm Blue Aluminum will be getting here (Lompoc, CA) between October 21st and October 28th. So I guess it'll take about 4-5 weeks for it to be delivered, for anyone that was wondering! Upgrading from the Series 0 Apple Watch lol so I'm pretty excited!

I ordered the SE 44mm Space Gray with a PRODUCT RED sport band; delivers 9/29-10/1, arrival date may change when shipped. Currently in "preparing to ship". The nearest Apple Store is nearly 3 hours away, so I don't mind the wait. The Series 0 was my only watch too and mine broke beyond repair 3 years ago :( so I am happy to be having a Watch again!

Here’s the frustrating thing about Apple. They keep the series 3 around (forcing developers to have to continue to support it) just to hit a price point because margins wouldn’t allow them to price the SE at $199 and they didn’t want to raise the entry point to the Watch. Why not instead design something that would replace the series 3 and if you really want to get more people into the Watch eat some margin and keep the price at $199. I hate when their product lines get messy just because they’re designing products to meet price points.

I understand what you're saying, but like the iPhone and iPad, Apple likes to offer the Good/Better/Best scenario, and this is the first time Watch users get that choice.

I think it might be over estimate deliver early as my two slated for 9/25 to 9/29 are already preparing to ship so maybe we get lucky everyone :)

Mine isn't even in "preparing to ship" yet, it's still "processing"... I'm assuming because it's the new color with the new band so it's in high demand? Meanwhile the extra band I bought will be here on Friday 😅
 
Not sure see the point of SE when the series 3 you get for 180-200 anyway...

Series 6 seems like not much point of an upgrade. Was expecting bigger battery at least.

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...

Thanks for the info... I ordered mine about 20 mins in & thought I just ended up further down the line.... after I placed it I had this same consideration... also thought about on-store pick up after the fact but upon checking it said the option wasn’t available anyway... i too am wishing I could go to the store tomm, but I guess I wait...

Makes sense... I guess they figure SE’s are more likely for new owners where as they figure a larger percent of Series 6 owners are replacement buyers...

you know what would be nice tho... if you bought one in the store and requested a block they either gave it to you or you could buy it for $5... seems like a decent compromise...

The Edition no longer mentions 💎Sapphire in the specs...🤔

well that’s crazy... I had the Titanium one last year, tho I did hear claims that it didnt seem like true sapphire, mine did end up with a small scratch in the middle of the screen (I have an old Cartier that’s probably 20 years old that has survived everything with none) so maybe they decided to scrap the charade?? 🤷‍♀️ True sapphire would not have had an issue...

I was wondering if it has to do with having extra product around, or more likely because of their commitment to recycling... why else would they push that dated design... the screen is so small and, frankly, after the beautiful design of the new screen, yucky, lol... so I’d imagine there’s something behind it... please tell me they’re not still pushing that antiquated screen fresh off the line... ewe, lol...
 
Looks like my Solo braid shipped could be here by Thursday. Anyone else get thier Blue 44mm Solo band based series 6 yet? Wifes Silver aluminum 40mm sports band came Monday
