I gotta say, I feel so lucky that these specific models are shipping so quick.
I preordered the 38 silver sport at 1203AM, tried that model on and then the 38 SS black band right after each other. My first impression was that the 38 silver just didn't feel like *my* watch, but for the first gen it would be fine. Once the 38 SS w/ black band went on a few moments later, I knew immediately that was the model I would buy for the 2nd gen. They only had the black leather band but I knew it'd look great with the black sport band.
Once the 38 silver sport arrived I found myself liking the entire concept of the Apple watch more than I anticipated. I really dug this thing, and even started coming around to liking the 38 sport a bit more. But in the back of my mind, I knew I would be counting down the days for the 2nd gen to come out so I could get the one I wanted...
Add to that the 3 week return policy instead of the usual 14 days. So on day 20 I had to make the jump when I read that these things were still shipping next day almost a week after you guys started confirming it.
So a big thank you all the guys that made this discovery and shared it. You made it possible for me to jump on the watch that I wanted instead of the one I was going to settle with 😀
Of course, this is not a knock on the silver sport. I just wanted this one.
