Sold mine on eBay last month but just you are right, mm want Watch strap and puck. Also I think I saw something about >=80% battery health (could have been other resellers than mm though!)
Thanks Jinjin.

Mine is a recent AppleCare replacement from Apple, so has 100% battery health still.

Think I will just source a cheap official strap from eBay and send it all together. I don't want them to quibble anything and just pay up the £198, rather than send it back to me and I lose the promotional offer I have etc.

Anyone else using reBuy? I locked a quote for £733 for my 13PM and collection date 17/09. I find DPD collection from your home at a date of your own choice much more convenient, plus reBuy pays the very next day. A much better service all around than MM (last time I used MM, I had to package the phone, spend time going to the post office, and payment took roughly a week).

Think I’ll just send our phones off asap and deal with using the old iPhone 7 I bought last year. I’ll just have to constantly be near a charger 😀

Good to be back!

Really not sure on whether I’ll be upgrading this year.
Just bought a new car too which has eaten into some of my savings.

Then again, I’m sure I’ll watch the event on the 7th, and Apple’s super slick videos will force my hand 😂
 
Has anyone sold an Apple Watch to Music Magpie in recent memory?

Once upon a time, they required that you send the watch, a strap, and the charging puck. The website is now very scant on details and only makes reference to the charging puck, but doesn't explicitly say the strap isn't needed.

I have a decent collection of straps but none that I'm willing to give up, so I'm considering picking up a cheap official strap from eBay for ~£8 if needed. Do I need to bother?
Yeah think it’s needed.
im just going to include the one that came with it the Milanese loop it’s no loss as not like next one won’t come with one.

Locked mine in for £250 thanks to the £20 voucher

Do we have to use their RM service? We use dpd at work as our courier and i could use them instead to get around it

As @uczcret mentioned when you use MM’s recommended service the device is fully insured for the quoted price plus you can track the order from delivery to inspection to payment.

And the leather colours look like a mix of the iPhone 12 and 13 colours (Dark Cherry, Golden Brown, Wisteria etc.) Don't think these are genuine either...

General question here but if you order the new 14 at a larger storage, say 512GB or 1TB, do you have to wait longer than the more popular 256GB models? I mean, if you order on the 9th will you still get a week later on the 16th? (hope this makes sense?)
 
Ok? As long as you can get a price on one browser it's fine? And the actual service is so much better than MM.
Have you used these before? The prices seem really good and I’m surprised it lets you schedule a pick up so far in advance usually the prices would drop between now and then!

It all depends on how fast you can get your order in on preorder day, how many devices Apple have, and when the delivery dates start slipping. I haven’t preordered since the 12, but for what it’s worth, it took me 10 minutes to get in and my order was finalized in under 3 minutes. I received my 256GB 12PM on launch day.

Great call. Plus, it will be easier to use MagSafe if you want to use that to charge your battery. I’m sure Apple will introduce new lineup of colors.

Hopefully there’s a bright color. I don’t like the dark colors for cases.
