does anyone have any experience preordering a watch off of amazon?

I went ahead and did it because 5% cash back is extremely my poo poo, but they have no interest in committing to a delivery date whatsoever and my wedding is in a little over 2 weeks. I would ideally like to have the thing for the wedding.

Are you going to read your vows from your watch or what?

Same question. Everyone says it's out but it must not have rolled out everywhere yet.

Just want to wear it as I'm getting the gold stainless.

I'm in silicon valley and my best man actually works on the apple watch so it's kind of a double angle here. In any case I disagree that it doesn't work as a fashion watch. Where I live it's fine and accepted.

From most other sites, seems like it's not showing up for most people yet. Maybe only iOS 13 has dropped so far?

Update: my phone can see the watchOS update now.

Watch updated to OS6 and it looks like it unpaired itself from the cellular service. Again. The watch itself shows no cellular plan and on the watch app it shows the plan as “Not in use” with no option to activate it. Only option is to remove it?

The gold stainless is a gold colored DLC, so it should be as touch as the SBSS
Looking it up it’s a PVD coating, which is solid, but not as good as DLC. Can DLC be colored btw? Looking it up it seems like it’s just a range of black to gray.

Had to call the T-Mobile DIGITS department and had them reset the EID on their end (after removing the plan on the watch) before the watch would properly pair to the existing watch data plan instead of only giving me the option to add/create a new line.

So got that sorted out.

PVD is the method used to apply both, but the gold stainless binds metal and DLC applies carbon.

It is true that DLC coating is generally stronger though PVD is decently strong too.

Anyways, got the ship update for my watch from Amazon and it's arriving on Tuesday, not bad. That is several days better than Apple's ETA. Fingers crossed the watch will arrive early, as Amazon is usually pretty conservative in their delivery estimates when it comes to items that don't have a guaranteed delivery date. I wouldn't be insanely surprised if it shipped tomorrow.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Are you guys seeing the Meridian watch face?

Not sure if this is because I’m on the 13.1 beta still, but the meridian face doesn’t show up In my phone at all, but I can add the face from my watch and configure if there though.

The legend is that Jobs berated some employee because the iOS calculator didn't look good on an ipad so now there will never be a calculator

This Cycle Tracking app really amplifies how badly Apple needs to let us hide/delete stock apps from the watch. It's cool that it exists but I don't have the biology to ever be able to make use of it.

Oh well, my tail of useless apps just got two bubbles longer!
