Does anyone know if there will be any brick and mortar shops with stainless steel S8 stock for walk ins? Local Apple Store won’t sell new series 8 to walk ins this year for some reason, and my preorder went in late and I dont fancy waiting til October 🥴 Maybe John Lewis?
Yeah I called apple and they said the Apple Stores in the UK weren’t accepting walk ins this weekend
 
Is anyone having second thoughts about their Ultra and the Titanium durability?

I love keeping my devices in great condition, and to accidentally knock it and see a scratch I think would annoy me.

I’ve mildly knocked about my Series 4 occasionally, and it’s never left a scratch, but I’m seriously getting itchy about changing my order to the Graphite Stainless Steel after reading the below

Uncharacteristically quiet here....

45mm Midnight Aluminium S8 has shipped for delivery tomorrow. Not a major upgrade from my current S6 but I am looking forward to it.
 
Anyone ordered from Amazon UK?

When you click on Track Package in the order page, it states ‘estimated delivery date’

It better be the 23rd!

It means they don't have stock - had this discussion with them earlier today - they won't commit to anything other than you will be notified when they have stock.
 
All shipped for me. SS Graphite coming tomorrow, will be a nice update from my S5 Alu
Impressive. How quickly did you get your order in?

I needed a 41mm in silver steel with any band - earliest I could get for delivery is the 29th with no options for store collection. I'd ordered 2-3 minutes of the store coming back online.

Interestingly I stupidly ordered a Silver stainless and only realised the following day. Changed to a SS Graphite 45mm with Milanese the following day and still got the 16th as delivery so a happy bunny.

The ultra didn't do it for me, so a standard S8 it is.

Apart from the size, your original order is exactly what I've ended up with.

Enjoy it!

Does anyone know what time the orders for in store collection will open up on 23/9? The app just says check on 23/9.

I've also ordered from Amazon, and not sure if it will ship for next Friday. I've used the pay in 5 months option so not a massive outlay. Also placed an order for 1 with a different strap from Currys on Interest free credit which I will pay off if they deliver next Friday. That way if they don't come through Im not out of pocket waiting for a refund.
