Still waiting a month later for my refund. From my personal experience I would steer clear

Only just got mine, too. Keep ringing up and persevering.

I'm trying daily however all I get back is that it has been escalated to a senior team and they are unable to provide me with an update. I've opened a paypal case but have to wait until the 15th for sellers feedback. I have also just this morning sent an email to the Nike CEO to see what that can do.
It's getting very tiring chasing this up!

Yes, I had my "escalated" too. Was supposed to get a phone call back the following day. No phone call but an email at 6pm with details of my refund.
It said it would take 5-6 business days to show on my card but it only took 48 hours.
Won't be ordering from Nike again. Good luck with yours!

I ordered 2 ,kept one which is amazing deal and really nice item.a no brainer at this price and very happy with it. I agree their refund procedure is very lengthy and rubbish but I got my refund finally this Tuesday. There is no way they refuse refund or anything like that, it's Nike a major company after all but it takes much longer than it should for them to process refunds for some reason. The deal and this price is a real bargain though.and this Apple Watch series 2 with GPS is a great product.

All of the staff seemed professional and nice enough so it must be their systems that's to blame and I think that shows with how infrequent my previous order kept disappearing from my account. I am pleased to say that my issue is now resolved but it did take an email to the CEO to get it, it wasn't by chance. God knows how long it would have been without it.

Agree. Nike customer service one of worst I've experienced. Would ask John Lewis to price match if interested.

Wait til tuesday - they will announce a new watch and the prices of the last gen will go down.

Will not go down less than this anyway :laughing:

Well of course the RRP of the last gen (series 2) will go down when the new model is released next week.
The question is will they go down more than the 30pct that we see here? My feeling is no. Apple doesn't do massive discounts on its products. Even old models.
I think the series 2 will be priced as £269 / £299 once the next version (series 3?) is launched later this week. This was the price point that Apple used when the series 1 became the old model this time last year.
In essence I think that this is a good deal and have voted hot.

Well I've waited....could you point me in the right direction for an Apple Watch series 2 that is lower than this price please?

Absolutely right!! Probably had about 5 declined due to them being OOS - never when I checked however!

I've just ordered the 38mm version for my 12 year old daughter. I'm now thinking i should have gone for the larger watch. is there anyone who has seen both watches together or owns the 38mm that can reassure me the watch will be an ok size?
Cheers

38mm will be perfectly fine for a 12 year old girl. I think the 42mm would be too big.

Thank you. Just needed a little reassurance

I don't know any women, as sexist as this may sound, who have opted for the 42mm they have all gone 38.
Nutttytart to mvnl2008

The 38mm is plenty big enough for someone with small wrists, I have this size and it is perfect, the 48mm was too big for me personally

38 mm is 100% fine for kids, my 14 & 17yr olds have them- fine, I had he 42mm and they both said they don't like how wide it is. - but for me it's fine.

I was going to order, but I heard the new one announced on Tuesday will be stand alone, and might have a glucose sensor.
Being standalone especially will be worth it to me as it means I can finally move to Android this year.

That's interesting, as being stuck to iOS only thing making me pause, but new version will be £400+ tho right? quite a diff...hmmm

Depends on how much you want to spend! The new watch will be expensive - and I VERY much doubt if the existing watches will fall in price as far as this offer!

There's no rumours saying it will be completely independent of the iPhone - looking likely that it will have integrated LTE, but I highly, highly doubt it will be compatible with Android or able to be used without an iPhone to set it up and administer updates, etc.
Glucose monitoring also looks unlikely, as it'd require FDA approval in the US which is a lengthy process and there's been no signs of Apple doing anything on that front. Since they're pushing more Bluetooth APIs in watchOS 4, it's much more likely that they'll be closer integration with existing or upcoming glucose Bluetooth measuring devices.
TL;DR: you'll still need an iPhone and it probably won't measure your glucose levels.

Major leak today shows that at least SOME of the Watch 3s will have built in LTE......BUT....it is going to need Mobile Operator support as the Apple SIM built into the Watch will need to share the SAME phone number as the iPhone. Possibly at extra contract cost and with very limited operators being able to support this at first
