After playing with the wife's watch all day yesterday I am seriously considering canceling and ordering a SS with Sports band. I'll give till Monday to make a decision
 
Well I'm picking up my wife's pink sport at 10am today. I guess I'll learn and practice with hers until the SS link ships. If she lets me!:eek:

This seems... So unnecessary lol... I mean there's an Apple Store App that emails you AND sends you an instant notification on your phone when the status is updated!

Nice though :)

It's clear that you know nothing about logistics or mass production of products. Please take your negativity somewhere else - yes, I've seen some of your other negative comments on here, and we don't need that.

So much for your logical explanation why this is so. Instead you just brush off as my not knowing jack squat on a flying rock.

The link bracelet bands purchased separately are also delayed. I assume you won't try to explain why these have anything to do with the taptic engine issues.

OMG RUMOR ALERT - THE LINK BRACELETS HAVE MICRO TAPTIC ENGINES IN THEM! THEY MUST! :)

That would be neat if the whole band tapped you on the wrist though... Different links tap for different notifications... :apple:

I just visited the Apple site. I placed about six different Apple watches into my cart and looked at the delivery date for each one. This included the Stainless Steel with Link Band, Aluminum Watch with BSB. I tried both 38mm and 42mm and several other band options. It didn't seem to make a difference. Apple is now saying "June" delivery for ALL of these options. If you cancel now and placed a new order, I'm not certain you'd get a watch until late May or sometime in June. Especially due to the constrained supply from Nidec of the "one issue we can't mention" in this thread. ;)

P.S. I got to play with my wife's Apple Sport Watch with WSB. It's cool and the fluoroelastomer band is very comfortable.

lol The "one issue we can't mention". Seriously, prepare to be shunned if you mention it.

Any change or new order will put you at the end of a long line for most models but especially the links.

That is really awesome, any chance you'd like to share the script for those of us with a similar level of addiction?

It is using Ruby

Code: 
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pony'

Pony.options = {
  :from => 'you@you.com',
  :via => :smtp,
  :via_options => {
    :address     => 'your-mailhost.you.com',
    :port     => '587',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name     => 'mail-user-name',
    :password => 'mail-password',
    :authentication     => :login,
    :domain   => "localhost.localdomain"
  }
}

a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/APPLE_ORDER_NO/EMAIL_ADDRESS/'

status = 'Processing Items'
while status == 'Processing Items'
  page = a.get(url) rescue nil
  if page
    status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
    delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery}"
  else
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"  
  end
  sleep 300
end

Pony.mail(:to => 'you@you.com', subject: "Apple Store Order ", body: "Order status now: #{status}\n\n#{url}")

Just put the email deatils at the top and replace the placeholders

Not discounting the effort it took to write that script, but I already bought the Deliveries app (launch day people were pasting screen captures from it...)

This app... How did I not know about this?! Buying!

This has major use even beyond launch days.

Also, the Apple Store app will notify you instantly when your status changes :)

I've had the Dashboard widget forever, but the app is great on iPhone. Haven't bothered to buy the new proper app for Yosemite as I get notifications from the widget...

It's one of those magic services that you didn't know you needed until you had it, and now can't live without it...

Awesome thank you! :)
 
How long?

I ordered the SS Link 42 at 3.22am EST on Friday, April 10 - can't wait to get it!

Assuming Apple is busy shipping these to a distribution facility for the final shipment to customers what do you think is the earliest we could get the Watch?

If it arrives in a facility today, do you think it could ship for delivery tomorrow, or Monday? It sounds way too early, but you never know! Statuses could be changing right now..

*checks status*

Whatever date range Apple gave you is what you should set your expectations to. There's no sign of these shipping yet.
