Unpair before you take the encrypted backup. The Watch is automatically backed up to the iPhone every so often, but unpairing includes taking a backup, so your watch will be exactly the same (apart from Pay/etc stuff that isn't backed up) after step 5.
See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204518 for more info.
Well, for a moment it ran through my mind to return the phone to apple and buy the one from JL for the extra year warranty, but the trick with the sim lock is a showstopper for me, I will stick to the one I am getting on Friday.
Hope you're enjoying your new watch! Had to unpair and pair mine last night which seemed to resolve battery drain since downloading OS2.Yeah, I thought that might be the case!
Will definitely be doing an encrypted back-up anyways. Way too lazy to re-type in all my passwords
Don't tell her that I might actually be nice, that is a secret
It's been almost two weeks since we all ordered our phone. My, doesn't time fly.
No. I mean they are, until you stick a sim into them.
Seriously, don't be lazy, just read the comments above.
It's awesome! This is my 3rd Watch. I had the Space Grey Sport on launch day, but sold it after feeling it wasn't 'watch-y' enough. I like my watches, and went with SS with Black Classic Buckle second time around. Then Apple released the updated classic buckle bands and added a brown leather option, so I asked Apple if the would accept a return on the SS with Black Classic Buckle and they did so without hesitation, despite me being outwith the return period.
Now it's just the agony of waiting for it to arrive!
Just read and caught up
Please note:iPhone will lock itself to the network of the first SIM card that is used in the phone. Subsequently attempting to use it on any other network, for example by replacing the SIM card, may mean it becomes permanently unusable. SIM free iPhones can only be used with a UK-network SIM card, and will not accept foreign SIM cards.
Just seen this so it will lock!
Yeah, I always have to go with a blue case haha. I was tempted by the Midnight Blue silicone case, but I've had the blue Apple Leather Case on my iPhone 5S for the past two years and it's feel is still really nice (although a bit discoloured around the edges).
YES! Got my dispatch notification earlier.
Although, my stomach nearly dropped out of my anus when I saw that it was being delivered by UK Mail. I can't recall ever having them delivered a parcel to me before, but everything I've heard about them has been a bit... eek.
I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

My mistake... 9 mins nowYou mean Friday. OK, just half an hour, but still.
Sam here and it definitely didn't lock. I've used countless foreign SIM cards in mine, plus a Three one a few times.
Damn... two years and in stock for Friday? My bank was just gutted, will be returning that 6S now....
Thanks for this!
