They tell you when the emails will be sent out? Probably next Monday.

I wonder if they'll include another $50 certificate.

:(
Supposedly today or tomorrow. Another $20 should arrive.

Did it sound like all the preorders or just the recent ones?
Just recent ones. She informed me of stuff I otherwise already knew: the stores are receiving some stock, stock is limited, etc.

I'd just hold tight. As we have seen, we clearly know that Best Buy and Apple totally screwed this launch up.

At this point I'd say it would be easier for me to get a gold bar than it would be to get my stainless steel watch.

What the hell?!? I received a notification via email that the watch I ordered was available online. I checked right away and it was gone.

Yeah it just tells you if there is a pre order slot available. I signed up for that to. Some people even press pre order and when they check out it says "your cart is empty"
 
Yeah I've gotten that email two or three times. It's just for more people to "preorder" for the 28th...the email is misleading
 
Refreshed my order page. It's now gone to "preparing," and my Best Buy CC has been charged.

Nothing for me yet (38mm silver aluminum/white sport band) but so glad people are getting updates!
 
I walked into the St. Matthews Best Buy (in Louisville) yesterday and bought a series 2 right out of the lock up cage. There were 2 more in there.
My Local BB has them but literally won't sell them and says they cannot sell them until the 28th.

That is the almost the way it should be. Although I think they shouldn't have received them in the first place til preorders are fulfilled but I have heard they are different supply chains.

That's pretty foolish on Best Buy's part. Slow clap for them.

Now, instead of having one group of upset customers (people who preordered online), they're going to have two groups of upset customers (people who preordered online AND people who want to walk in the store and give them money to walk out with a watch.) It's not like those watches sitting in the cage at the store are going to start being used to fulfill online preorders.
