They'd have been there at 8am if they were delivering some random item like a toilet brush. Lol

Mine showed up at 2pm. Dude told me they're on their way to you.

I compared the two before committing my order, and BB was offering far less in trade-in for my P7 Pro 256GB than Google - $300 from BB vs $420 from Google.

Interesting because I just put my P7P 256 in and it gave me $550 as trade-in value - way more than $420 Google store

That's the feeling I'm getting

10/13 Ordered in person at Best Buy 8 Pro 512 unlocked in obsidian
Watch 2 black (free with promo)
$550 credited at the store for my 7pro 256 (retained in my possession and use until pickup of the 8P on 11/8
My BB Total Tech membership gives me 2 years of warranty for $0 extra today which includes phone replacement $99 per claim
$680 on the CC = final tally
Pick up 11/8 which is fine by me
For me at least, beats Goggle's offer and cost. I would have liked the blue phone but the hazel color on my 7pro hasn't seen the light of day since I slapped the slate blue bellroy leather case on. So I ordered the lighter blue Bellroy leather case for it on Amazon along with armorsuit matte film screen covers.

It’s the screen protectors…which is okay but probably find a better one down the road…case is perfect ..

I think I have a little bit of competition for selling my watch on Swappa lmao

Lol yeah that's why I have not even bothered listing anywhere yet. I'm not sure I'll be able to get $200 for it as well. Still in sealed packaging.

Will try to post and sell it locally. If I'm not getting $250 - $300 I might just keep it with me.

Definitely I'm not listing on swappa or other place where there is listing fee, shipping fee and add PayPal fees etc. Will sell local pickup in offer up and Facebook marketplace.

I kinda decided the same. I'll use my watch for a while and maybe sell it as used. Not worth my time trying to sell it right now.
Who knows, I may decide it's the best thing since sliced bread.

For me, I use the iPhone 15 pro max and Apple watch ultra as my main devices. Otherwise I have no issues keeping the watch

Phone I generally carry android and iPhone always, so not a big deal.

I don't want to be that guy wearing Apple watch on one wrist and pixel watch on other

 

[Bkdodger1]

If the watch wasn't so small I would try it.. I agree no way am I going to sell it for those prices and pay fees.. we shall see maybe I can find someone locally

You could be a fashion trendsetter.

I think the improvements over the 8 warrant the price difference this year.

Or the gal. I gave mine to my husband as he can only wear a SmartWatch to work. He has been using the pixel watch from last year he got with his 7 Pro. Swapped straight to the Watch 2 when it arrived. His Pixel watch 1 is going to my son.

I wear an Apple Watch series 6 andd carry an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Shipped early, via UPS. ground. Now arriving Saturday. Originally 10/17 - 10/18

 

[firebirder]

Pixel watch 2 was here waiting on my Friday. Have not set it up yet, which straight to my son's soccer game last night and I don't need it until Monday, so will play with it tomorrow likely.

Watch was shipped via FedEx, and arrived on time, but what a difference in experiences. Phone (UPS) tracking info was updated the whole time and driver hid the package. Watch, via FedEx, had horrible updates, lots of sitting and arriving new places but never leaving the last, and the driver just put it on the porch for all to see. Oh well, least everything is here!

Have they announced whether Best Buy would have a promo like the 7 where the trade-in value was the previous pro model was roughly 60% of the new phones value along with gift cards? Was too good of a deal to pass up and would like to utilize it again

No, they haven't announced if Best Buy will offer a trade-in promo like the one for the iPhone 7, where the trade-in value was about 60% of the new phone's value, along with gift cards.
