Predictions For Series 7 Launch Dates

Harvey Zoltan said:
The 6 is no longer available to order online in Australia so I’m thinking preorders for the 7 will start next week. I’m sure Apple wants to start shipping the Watch ASAP.

Japan site had stopped the sales of 6 till three days ago for several days, but two days ago, they started to sell 6 again. May be an indication for still ongoing internal discussion/arguments about the delay and this may be a bad news to us that we won’t hear from them at least for the next one week.

Also, Apple holds an accountability to shareholders in the earning call as someone said earlier. To be able to share the news then, they need to fix the launch date by the middle of the second week of October internally. If we don’t hear the news, 7 might be available so late as late November, is my guess….

I am personally hoping this to be available by the end of October, the latest. Apple needs to get into shoppers’ mind by thanksgiving to get onto the holiday present lists. I am sure they do not like what is happening either. Consumers are lucky - we just guess and talk about it for fun, but i am sure the management team must be writing a long chain of e-mails right now! Keeping fingers crossed it would resolve soon!

They could be getting rid of stock from stores. Such as if the online warehouse is out they source them from in store stock.

All models now showing on Amazon in UAE 🇦🇪……. I feel these will quietly go on sale initially with no big fanfare.

A nice body and a pretty face, but not much new as for equipment. I will wait until the next version comes out, unless they have improved the optical sensors and those come active when the right software kicks in. Really I am not frothing at the mouth. My 6 is fine for now.
 
Here in Norway we have two big chains for electronics, Elkjøp and Power (I think they are part of a bigger European chain, haven’t checked, anyone knows?).
They are both low on inventory of AW S6, and few if any can be ordered online. Elkjøp only got 1-3 left in-store, mostly in smaller places. But they have listed an “unconfirmed delivery date” of October 12th on several SE models, mostly Nike versions (out of stock).

Power is also listing expected date for delivery (to their main storage wherever…) for SE that are out of stock, but that date is October 22. AND they have an expected date for some regular Series 6, with unconfirmed stock on October 8.

Okay, this could all be a coincidence, maybe they’re just messing with us, maybe Apple decided to redistribute from other markets or they’re actually still producing...😳

What’s REALLY interesting is that Power has also started listing Series 7. With same prices as S6. My memory could be wrong on this but I think the Norwegian prices on Apple products usually gets settled very close to release date (anyone here from Norway who knows?).
And Power got the same promo photos as others have posted here from Amazon. Yeah, Power.no is big over here, but they’re small compared to Amazon. So I think it’s special that S7 already gets listed on this “small” chain in this “tiny” market (Norway🙄). Any thoughts?

Is this a new offer? Had an email this morning. Are they looking to shift the last
of the Series 6 stock before announcing 7..?

Anyone know Amazon's return policy on Apple products?

I have a S4 and I broke the Digital Crown, its still usable but barely as the crown seems to always be spinning.

I ordered an S6 which arrives tomorrow to tide me over till the S7 comes out but was thinking this would be more like November time but with the rumours of pre orders maybe being next week now not too sure what to do.

(Did get a good deal on Amazon, 44mm Cellular for £409)
