Cancelled
You're welcome, everyone that was behind me on the order queue. Hope you get yours faster!
Ordered Watch 4/10 1:03MTN. Had 4/24 confirmation. No ship notification-I cancelled order tonight. First time/Last time I stay up. Totally wrong that others with later confirmations are getting their watches ahead of time.

Thinking about canceling my order because of that. I also hear that only the edition comes with stickers.
Well that was a bit dramatic. Probably would have shown up in the next day or two. That's like waiting in line for something for hours only to walk out of line when there are only a few in front of you lol
Slightly awkward to do up
Regarding: "the holes and the pin make it slightly awkward to do up"
From my 15-minute session at the Apple store, that was my one frustration: actually attaching the sports band. My current watch band (Timex, inexpensive) has a built-in curve that automatically wraps around the wrist. In contrast, I found the flat Apple band hard to line-up and attach.
I'm sure I'll get used to it... it's just a matter of training my fingers on a new pattern. But for what it's worth, that was the only (slightly) negative response I had to an otherwise very positive 1st-viewing of the Apple Watch Sport.

It's okay the more people cancel the faster I'll get my watch
DHopefully lol
Caus these SS LINK BRACLETE WATCHES SEEM TO NOT EXIST HAVENT HEARD OF ANYONE GET ONE YET
first impressions
I was playing with a demo model at the Apple store and was scrolling through the emojis. I found it quite choppy and not too responsive. I was thinking it was because it was a demo model.
Anyone else find that? Love to hear from people who bought one who aren't running the demo software.

Yes!!!
My son's 38mm blue sport band has arrived! I unfortunately ordered the 42mm SS Black sports band and it is still pending (but I expected that). I live in Melbourne and it showed up about 11am. I promised him I would not open it until he gets home from school

Mine has no movement and I used PayPal credit to pay for it first time using that hopefully everything goes okay but the apple care still shows pending it looks like they just authorized it but hasn't been completely charged yet
All these fools buying an overpriced digital watch, which is not even waterproof. Plus Apple removed a few of the health features (everyone seems to forget this - http://www.techtimes.com/articles/3...n-health-features-watch-will-affect-sales.htm) - in effect its a cut down version at full price. Prefer my swiss made mechanical watch - fully automatic - no battery no charger, and sapphire crystal face and see-through back where you can see the mechanics working.
I have checked out these watches personally, and even 42mm is too small for my liking. The curved edges of the display have no functionality. Your thumb takes up 3/4's of the watch. I even managed to get the main screen locked to the left and nothing happened - it froze. It takes over a minute to kick over which proves its either a bloatware / bug issue or the processor is not powerful enough. Even the Apple employee said a lot of people are complaining about its size and its mainly an accessory device, and very limited function without an iPhone. So you have two devices with battery drain - the watch plus the iPhone - all using power at once to keep each other awake. We are going backwards.

Dude, I am not sure you get out much. Please be more specific on what do you mean in terms of "more integrated"?
It does less than many Android Wear phones (some of these have usable cameras or can make calls through the watch itself) and it has worse battery life than many of the latest generation Android Wear stuff.
I don't think any of the Android Wear watches are all that useful either, but am bewildered by why people think this is any better.
In spite of all of those orders still 'processing', let's play a fun game.
What is the worst possible Apple Watch case / band combination?
My vote is the Space Gray Sport case with milanese loop. Not only would it look super tacky, but that SG sport would definitely still be processing.

More integrated = many iPhone Apps are now designed to extend their interface onto the Apple Watch. Notifications (and replying to them using the Apple watch) work seamlessly. Synching music and photos is a breeze.
In short, they are designed to work together. Name me an android watch that is designed first and foremost to work seamlessly with iPhones.
Since you don't seem to have any use for any smart watch Apple or otherwise, you're not going to have any luck trying to talk those of use who do think they are useful out of it.
This has to be comedy... Bad one. Otherwise you're months late on the comment.
Using only three sentences, describe how does it feel to wait for Apple watch. Include words X-Mas, God and porn.
