    Just a quick comparison between the 42mm Series 1 Aluminium (Left) and the new 44mm Aluminium (Right). The new back looks really premium compared to the older model.

    Well wear DubDJ. I'm going to replace my Series1 also. By the way, Apple have been selling the foldable power adapters for a couple of years. Very handy for travelling without having the prongs sticking out.

    I knew I’d seen something about the collapsible charger but I’ve never had one before. Maybe I have and haven’t noticed as I usually don’t touch the accessories in the box.

    It’s really not a major difference in size comparing both watches. Can’t comment on the screen as it’s been mostly black while setting up.

    probably a mistake..there's no way anyone would be selling the cellular one in a non-supported country.

    Some people would want the stainless steel and sapphire crystal display and not too bothered about the cellular aspect but willing to spend more, also it is possible that some provider will pick up the cellular at some stage in the future.

    Can you use the apple watch without a phone to listen to Spotify, Audible, podcasts? I'd like to be able to go for a run with just the watch & headphones.

    44mm S4 alu arrived this afternoon. Left it to set up over lunch. Still haven't set up my face the way I want it, so it's all default at the moment. Here it is beside my outgoing original series.

    Ordered Series 4 watch at 8.14am last Friday from the Irish store to a Dublin address. Delivery 26th Sept to 1st Oct. Still says it's processing and no money taken from card yet.

    Hopeful for Friday but looks unlikely!

    Jealous of everyone's new watches.

    My order just went to preparing for dispatch and money taken from card. Hopefully I'll get it before next Wednesday.

    Walked into CompuB today at about 1pm and got a 44mm black in case anyone doesn’t want to wait for shipping,

    They had limited stock but it’ll probably last a bit longer.

    Grafton St. iConnect also replied to my message on Twitter saying they had limited in Henry Street so you might be in luck there too.

    I called Harvey Norman in Carrickmines this morning and they put aside a 44mm space grey model for me with a sports loop that I picked up on lunch... He said they had a decent bit of stock but not many 44mm models, I'm sure they would put one aside for you if asked.

    If anyone wants to swap a new 44mm plastic strap for any other 44mm strap give me a PM. I have a black strap from a prev watch so don't want the one I got today

    Seen some confusion on this

    The collapse power brick comes with the most current version of Apple Watch

    So not with S3 anymore, part of the reason they are discounted

    You’d need a data connection for that so until the cellular version is supported here it may not happen.

    Podcast on the watch is awesome.

    I have a mate in America picking one up tomorrow, 44mm space grey, Black band ..... should have it by Wednesday. Is there a lot of excitement around this particular watch? or is it just us apple fans?

    Ive never been interested in their watches before, but the ECG got me interested, then I saw all the other upgrades and realise It will improve my life :D

    No reason a Spotify app couldn’t download some songs to the watch as it can to the phone but to be honest I don’t even mean I want to use these without the phone nearby as I always have the phone nearby (I’d never consider a cellular watch for this reason). It would just be great to control Spotify from the watch and be able to read back WhatsApps and start new WhatsApp’s from the watch as I find it very handy replying etc but would love to be able to start new messages like you can in the text message app which is basically obsolete nowadays.
