I genuinely wasn't expecting a series 3 for another six months so this threw me a bit when I saw the leak.
Will you be buying it, if so, which version?
I get a day easily, normally down to around 65% remaining when I put it on the charger at night. I charge every night.
It's the new "Sport Loop"
I have a number of expensive mechanical watches. I've not worn one of them since I got my original Apple Watch. They're all back in their boxes now.
If EE want £25/month to share an existing data connection, they can go swivel. The announcement yesterday made a point of saying that it's going to be the same number so surely that sort of charge can't be just to add a watch to an existing connection.
That's just made me change my vote but I'd like to know what battery life will be like while streaming music before I make a final decision.
I've got someone to buy my S2 so I will be ordering the S3 tomorrow. I'm still sort of pondering whether to get cellular, I've gone from yes to no and now wavering back towards yes again. The strap choice is easy, the olive sports loop.
Yes, I'm happy with the aluminium sports watch - I've had two so far and each have survived without a single mark or scratch on either the body or the glass, I can't justify £650 on an Apple Watch.
... and ordered, the app came alive before the web site. I went with the 42mm aluminium cellular in the end.
Now that’s interesting. Normally they don’t take payment until it ships but it’s gone from my bank already. I paid with Apple Pay through the app.
Mine delivers next Friday.

The money went out of my account within minutes of my transaction using Apple Pay on my iPhone. Status still says Preparing to Dispatch.
I've ordered many Apple products for delivery on launch day and they've always arrived on time.

It's been a year since I did it, what's the exact procedure for disconnecting the old watch from the phone and connecting the new one, preserving the exact same setup?
They've completely changed the box design for this one. It's not long and thin any more.
This is aluminium, not stainless.
I'm liking the strap but then I've still been using the nylon strap I got with my original watch. The design on this is good, making me want a Bond Nato for it 
I've not tried the cellular yet.

Went out for a walk and called a friend of mine, it worked absolutely flawlessly.
That's the signal strength indicator in the middle.

Out of interest, in case it can benefit anyone else, what was the problem (and the fix)?I was on the phone to Apple for about 25-30 minutes, but managed to get it all sorted out
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.
It's the same as everything else, you can return it within 14 days.
When I bought the original Apple Watch, I wore it for a week and then took it off for three days. I decided that if I didn't miss it, I'd return it. I didn't miss it so I took it back and got a refund.
When the next major release of the OS happened which allowed apps to be installed on the watch, I bought another one and did the same thing. This time, after two days without it, I decided that had missed it so I put it back on my wrist and kept it. That means I've owned two originals (Series 0), a Series 2 and now a Series 3.
Within fifteen minutes of getting mine, I was walking around the block talking to a friend. On Wednesday, I was in a public toilet when my watch rang because I'd left my phone in the car! Yes, no problems.
Hmm, considering it needs a long push on the button and then a swipe, I'd be tempted to ask online Apple support about that to see if they have any suggestions.
