UK Apple Watch Series 8/Ultra Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

I think I've managed to sus out the Alpine loop. It's easier to "pull and slide", rather than unhooking at an angle.

Canceled Amazon they are terrible this year no date whatsoever.


Picked my ultra up from MANCHESTER Trafford easy as pie.


It’s stunning

My last bill has £4.55 for Apple Watch add on + VAT, steps below on how to add it

Apple Watch | Help & Support | O2

My Ultra that I ordered from Apple that was scheduled 28th Sept -3rd Oct is out for delivery today

It was actually very easy to setup with o2 as part of the initial setup in the watch app on iPhone. I just had to log in with my o2 account. It said £5 so I am giving it a go. Thought I was in for a good offer as it said free for 6 months but then it said that ended Dec 2019. It is showing as a dropdown sub item under my phone in MyO2 app.

You must have tiny baby wrists

Hi lee, good job you cancelled Amazon they don’t even have a date or stock. Went onto Apple Store at 8:10 this morning and easy picked mine up at Apple Store in Manchester in size large as my wrist is 190mm

Love the ultra so far, definitely looks nicer in person. Not as massive as I thought it would be, while it's thicker than my Series 7 45mm it really doesn't feel that much larger.

 

[hiloyt]

Here I am! The small size and still half in the way, haha.

 

[leebroath]

I honestly can’t get over why Amazon have messed this release up!

Surely such a massive company like them would have stock

Left on my doorstep like a true Yodel pro. Anyway, here it is next to the Series 6 with my old strap.

In the action button settings - if you select workout you can select the workout which you want to start by pressing the button. Or you can just open the workout.

Can’t wait for JerryRigEverthing to test the durability of the Ultra, see how well it does

Coming from an aluminium S4 to this is one hell of an upgrade. The S4 feels like a cheap toy compared to it, and the screen is jaw droppingly beautiful considering it’s still pretty small. Extremely happy with it, worth the hassle … probably

also can we agree that if you have the medium strap, you don’t have skinny wrists, you have average wrists 👌🤣

 

[markhort]

Anyone go for the black/grey trail loop, thinking about ordering one for my Ultra

Well mine are average then at 175mm, nice to see the green Alpine strap, mine is arriving tomorrow via John Lewis.
Hoping to try it out with a bit of paddleboarding tomorrow got the paddle logger app at the ready

I’m about the same, we have good average sized arms

the green is nice, orange was my preference, but I think this will be a better match for most outfits for everyday. Extremely comfortable strap too, which helps

 

[Hermes Monster]

Anyone tested the siren yet? I’m afraid to

EDIT ok I tested it, nowhere near as loud as I feared

Thats exactly what I was thinking about the strap too.

Thats exactly what I was thinking about the strap too.

I went with green too. White I was worried would look dirty quickly, and orange is great for the running side imo (reminds me of the hermes included sports bands), but I dont intend to run with this strap anyway as sweat is a bum to clean out, and I have the easy clean grey sport band from my titanium S7 that I hope will be fit okay for that.

My AirPods just arrived.... lol

 

[Chunk72]

Amazon mailed to say AirPods are coming tomorrow. Loving the watch so far

 

[Chunk72]

Anyone worked out how to change the elevation complication from ft to Metres?

 

[Hermes Monster]

The Green Alpine is available to pick up at my local Apple Store (Leeds) without pre-order, mustn’t be very popular!

 

[eddie24]

Ok, I actually love it. Way more than I thought I would.

My original order for the AirPods hadn't even moved still sitting at 'we will email you with a date', so I cancelled that and ordered from the available page

Should be with me tomorrow

Amazon have now got them in for delivery on Sunday.

my existing order is still showing no time frame allocated, so I have ordered another and will cancel the first if there’s no movement later, leaving the guaranteed Sunday one as a backup.
