Not pre-ordering myself, I've had a change of heart. Going to see the fair dinkum Macrumour reviews first before making a decision.
 
Ok so how does this work. In the uk if try-on appointments start on the 10th that means that booking appointments starts at 8.01am uk time which is just one hour before the stores open at 9
 
I got my countdown app, MR countdown & I update the number of hours left every hour in a Skype chat I'm in with 7 other people who are purchasing Apple Watch on preorder day.

I'm in Vic too, are you heading to Doncaster, Chadstone or Highpoint on Friday for a chance of a try on? Not sure if there will be appointments available yet, though. I will have the kiddies with me, so my fingers are crossed!

Not trying on. Just sitting at the computer, mac & iPad & 5:01 PM on Friday trying to preorder the AW. If the 42mm is too big, I'll just return it within 14 days for a refund and get the 38mm.

What model are you getting?

I just 'happen' to be taking the kids and mum to the movies, so I'll be at Doncaster (I live an hour north of Melbourne, so it's always a planned trip to Apple), otherwise I'd be the same.

Hoping to get 38mm SS with white band. Will buy third party leather down the track as can't quite justify the modern buckle for first gen. Having said that, if the white rubber sells out I imagine I'll upgrade, because I'm a sucker!

I was going to hit up Doncaster after work on Friday night. Hopefully it's not too crazy, even just to see what they look like in real life.

Looking forward to reading this forum post pre-orders going live.
 
Exactly, I'll be just happy to get a sighting to help me finalise my decision before pre-order, will be happy not to get a try on, but rapt if I did! Goodluck Friday!
