Tried to pre-order the moment the store came back up and went through it in about 3 minutes where I spent 2 minutes thinking about the color.

By the time I had placed the order it had already pushed me back to delivery Monday 23rd. So far they haven't charged me which is a sign they aren't unlikely to ship it until next week.

Ended up with the natural titanium. I was not interested in the stainless steel due to the extra weight but the titanium models reduce the weight significantly so that's no longer an issue.


I found that unless battery life is significantly better than 2 days I don't bother and just charge it once a day (twice with longer/multiple workouts). Now with the S10 you can pretty much charge it in 30 minutes. An hour a day gives you almost 2 charges. The Ultra has a better battery life but the newer fast charging will be more of an advantage I think.
Same happened to me with the slate. I wanted to change my payment method but they are back ordered to Oct now. Natural isn’t bad, but I can’t tell the color. I wonder if it can fit all color bands.

I was originally getting silver but during the checkout there was no such option and I assumed silver was simply replaced by natural. It wasn't until much later that I realized they are now reserving silver for the $1k version. And as much as I'd love that, I use it mainly for sports and outdoors where I have no use for such a luxury model. For such occasions I have a real watch that is much better suited than any AW could ever be.

Natural titanium is somewhat silver, you can look at a natural titanium 15 Pro unboxing to get an idea, specifically the sides, not the back. It's just got a darker hue with a hint of brown maybe. It's sometimes described as silver-greyish.

Essentially what I am expecting is a color that is in between silver and black. I am sure it will go well with a lot of bands.

Just got charged for my Preorder of my Watch 10
Same here, it's now preparing to ship. That makes me feel optimistic it will hit our homes sometime next week.

What caused you to size down? I’m thinking of doing the same.
I went from 44 to 45 and that was the maximum I thought would look good. Then I thought well 42 isn’t that far from 44 so might as well roll back haha. Given Apple tendency to increase size, we’ll have 44 as the smallest size soon enough.
 
Oh thats annoying then, but nobody really expected Apple not to update the Ultra though in your defence. Great news for those not upgrading this year who have it already however.

Not a fan of the aesthetics of the Ultra myself, plus it looks enormous on me, but the battery life is exactly what a smartwatch should perform to IMO.
Yeah those who bought on ebay for those selling got a bargin

Yeah not a deal breaker for some just nice having 2 or 3 day battery not needing to take it off

more I look at the series 10 the more want one. I want the gold titanium though but will wait it out
 
I preordered within the minute the shop went live. My Apple account money finally got taken of the account over night. Still slated to arrive on the 20th. 42, black, green band.

Not much movement in terms of prepping to ship or anything, but it might just get overnight express from the Netherlands warehouse next Thursday. (Destination Germany)

Yeah I wonder how many people sold their Ultra 2’s at a significant loss just days before the keynote? I’d imagine the prices have increased somewhat now it’s realised it’s still a current AW.
I think the amount of people that game plan around apple keynotes Would be minuscule. Granted minuscule in Apple volume probably is tousands around the world.

Oh I definitely agree with that. Most of my friends who use Apple Watches/iPhones have no clue about the specs of the devices, let alone when the keynote is. Just commenting that there will be people out there who do follow a bit more closely and would have been expecting an Ultra 3 as some rumours suggested it would come this year. The chap I quoted sold his but has bought a black Ultra so not so much of an impact as it kind of feels like a new watch due to the colour even if its the same watch overall.

Mine was charged on Wednesday and moved to prepped for shipping then, too. My label just showed up in UPS MyChoice - label printed, but not picked up yet. As usual, one of the reference numbers is my order number.
