Or the guy driving the delivery didn't want to pay for one. :'(

It came eventually! Delivery guy had my drop-off as priority and was very apologetic.
Next job is to find some good straps - don't think we have a proper strap thread do we?

I like the idea of running with just the apple watch so I can listen to music on the go without my iPhone but I'm not on EE and their contract prices are crazy for the watch.

They aren’t that bad, especially for the SS model.

It has limited WhatsApp support - I think it's down to them to make a proper app though, and they haven't yet.

Upgraded to the SS S3 42mm and the speed difference over the S2 is huge and even the S2 was a massive speed upgrade over my S0 at the time.
No lag whatsoever in anything now, no stuttering animations, apps load nice and fast and even cellular worked perfectly on EE a few mins out of the box. I'm extremely happy with the upgrade overall.
The contactless payment was very fast on the S3 compared to the S2 or S0, usually I have hold my watch at the reader for a moment or two for it to read it. But as soon as I got even close it read it instantly, no hesitation at all.

I recently upgraded from a 38mm S0 to a new 38mm S3 (non cellular). The battery life is much better, from 7am until 7pm the battery was still on 74%. My S0 would be on 30% by that time.
But as others have said the main benefit is how fast it is now.

Might be a stupid question, but can you swim with one on?
It is advertised a swim proof, I wouldn't do any diving (off a board) with it though.
Always ready for the pool or ocean.
Apple Watch Series 3 is swimproof and tracks both pool and open water workouts. After you’re done, sound vibrations eject water from the speaker.3
https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-watch-series-3/#sports-watch
Apple Watch Series 3 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 3 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

I've just ordered my S3 with Cellular, i've been quoted 3/4 weeks at the moment. So see how long it takes.
May get it earlier than that, I pre-ordered on the 22nd for a 9th to 16th Oct delivery originally, but on the 26th it said my delivery would be on the 28th Sep. Mine came directly from China.
Oh brilliant, Thank you. I'll keep checking then.

Loving my S3, the screen is gorgeous!
Got £175 back on my old one, one happy customer
If you don't mind my asking, did you trade this in? I didn't think Apple did trade-ins for watches.
I hadn't even noticed the moment or two delay on the S2 when paying by Apple Pay but you're right, the S3 is quicker.
This impressed me earlier today - I went over the road for my breakfast and didn't take my phone. I knew the watch was going to connect to the sarnie shop WiFi but I didn't know that I'd get a signal strength indicator.
