"Look at me!"

I suppose some people will show off and act that way. The main reason I want one is to be less flashy, and not take out my phone so often. Particularly walking city streets to and from work, and standing up during a train ride. Maybe it will also get me to be more active - probably not but there's always hope, lol.

I thought long and hard about the Pebble, a more affordable option, but I want to experience this first and see if it works for me.

Nobody can answer my question?

"One question for all of you and expecially for MacRumors Staff: This means that i can take my reservation pass online on 10th and then pickup the watch on the 24th? Please pardon me for my terrible english, i’m a foreign student and i need this information because i want to pre-order the Apple Watch like the iPhone 6, with the Reservation Pass."

I would give it a bit more than 6 minutes. Someone will answer.

My heart barely survived the iPhone 6 preorder debacle. Not sure how the old ticker will hold up with this release. It could be the ultimate circus

lol. This gave me a good chuckle. Yeah its definitely a cluster ____ with Apple releases. I'm excited though.
 
This won't be a pre-order item for me, I'm afraid! I need to see one in person first and evaluate its use to me. However, I am very intrigued to see the packaging that they as yet haven't revealed to us!

With prior releases of Apple products, they usually try to deliver on the date of release. You'll see a ton of FEDEX trucks out along with other delivery vehicles. They deliver later than normal too. So when normally they would deliver to me a max of 5pm...maybe 6pm...kind of pushing it there, they were delivering until 8pm or a little later. That's from my personal experience.

So many haters in this world.

You don't see Apple supporters logging on to other forums bashing their failing technology.

I give the Android and Windows 8 communities crap all the time. Although the Windows 8 community is and was pretty much dead so maybe it was just fact I was giving them the entire time. :rolleyes:

The question you quoted isn't about launch day delivery, but reservations - will it be possible to buy it in store on 4/24 having reserved it on 4/10.

That reminds me of some cartoon when the iPhone 4 came out. "blah blah blah blah blah. Hey, can I hold it for a minute?"

In contries outside nations on first wave of launch they don't give information about d1 in other countries.

Exactly. So stop saying things like that (quote below), I know that it may seem strange for Americans to understand but really, we're treated like some 3rd world countries.

You want someone in the USA to contact USA Apple store support to ask about the policy of the Germany Apple store? I'm sure you could contact the support of any launch country to find out, but they just have not given out that information yet. I don't think you'll get a faster answer asking your question on here a 5th time though.

Apple need to be really careful with what they are doing with the Apple Watch, they could get into some serious trouble. They have built up such an unprecedented (even for Apple) pre launch release frenzy that there is a real possibility that someone may explode with the excitement.

Really? product seems generally ignored by the popular press except to apple's paid product placements in fashion magazines. I think this will get more buzz the week of its release but it may be heavily caveated with concerns about its quirky ui and a general mystification about its utiliity.
 
Question is very simple: can i preorder online on 10th (or next days) for the pick in store on the 24th?
If some one of you in USA can ask to Apple trough chat support will be great
 
The time for Japan is wrong. If sales are to begin simultaneously, then in Japan it will be 4:01PM (12:01AM Pacific). Not 3:01PM

I'm really hoping that's the case but it's not 100% clear on if that will be possible. Apples press release makes it sound like you will be able to reserve in store for pickup on 24th though.

If you can preorder at home, you can preorder in store, that is by using anyone of their computers or the app on your phone.

So it will just come down to if you get a reservation to try on the first day. My guess is thursday night at 12:01 they will allow you to start making reservations online for Friday try ons. Assuming you get a reservation, then you can only hope it's early enough in the day that you'll get to try it on before they sell out online.

I'm going to try to make a reservation when they start taking reservations but if I don't get one for the first day I'll just order one I think I'll like since I'm sure they will be sold out by the second day. And then you could do a try on session later in the week and if you dont like the one you preordered when you get it you can exchange it. Sure that may take time just like if you didnt order at all, but at least this way you have a chance of liking the one you order first.
 
I will not buy or wear a watch or a cell phone. I do not even answer the land line. I am not a slave to a electronic master and will not tag myself with a signal.
If a person wants me the can talk to me face to face or send mail. There is n freedom in being identified where you go. I take the liberty to be independent of any data.

The marketing of the watch is a big flop and few will want to have the same loss of freedom as a prisoner with an ankle bracelet.
