Last week, Apple opened – a little late – pre-orders for its new connected watch. The Apple Watch Series 7 adopts a design substantially similar to the previous model but with a larger screen, for a starting price set at 429 euros for the aluminum case. A price which can however exceed 1,000 euros with, for example, titanium instead.
If delivery times can now reach November in certain cases, the very first buyers to have chosen the device should nevertheless receive it this Friday. This is also what seems to be confirmed by recent information according to which Apple has started to indicate the preparation of shipments to its customers. Most of the time, it is only a matter of days before the package arrives on your doorstep.

However, it is possible that a privileged few will be able to receive the Series 7 before October 15. We could then discover quick tips in advance. If so, most of the tests should end up on YouTube. We will of course stay informed in order to share the videos in question with you as soon as they are released, perhaps in a foreign language.
Despite everything, as consumers have already noticed in the past, Apple products rarely arrive before the date communicated by the manufacturer. What's more, as Tim Cook has already assured in the past,the firm is currently fighting against excessively high transport prices. It is also common for items to arrive a little late, generally following poor calculations on the part of subcontractors such as UPS.
Stock at resellers
The best solution to avoid potential delays therefore seems to go through specialized stores, which are used to ordering in bulk. What's more, some of them have their own delivery service: a simple way to avoid intermediaries until the end customer.
