Any Modern Buckle Progress? Charges,preparing for shipment?

Thanks. That helps. I'll have to really consider if I want to spend $150 for a band I will only use occasionally. May wait for third party bands..... Decisions......

I'm hoping Apple will also release more band options.

I'm not sure how jingoist that statement is. But it sounds like you're saying that where you are now nobody steals watches from wrists (which let's face, it - is highly unlikely anyway), but where you're traveling to it's RAMPANT. Modern Buckle Apple Watches stolen EVERY SINGLE DAY! :p

PS You're bonkers to cancel an order so close to shipment because of what appears to be a highly irrational fear.

Haha I am paranoid! But they're much more sly in Europe and Asia. Perhaps even in the U.S. also but I don't see it too often here. But I can always just order the band separate later and it will come with a nice box.

You're bonkers. I maintain that statement. I'm from the UK (which is part of Europe!), and theft can happen anywhere. Interestingly, I'd never had any personal property stolen till I moved to the USA (no watches stolen yet, but someone stole some lattices, my door mat, and a doggie poop bin with poop in it). Yes, people will steal anything.

Anyway, bonkers.
 
I got a notification from UPS MyChoice that got my hopes up but it was a false alarm. :(

Stand strong!!! We are all in this modern buckle family!! WE CAN DO IT! Cmon people! Apple hasn't missed a deliver window yet (that I know of). My 38mm SS Apple watch with modern buckle was ordered at 12:02am PST. I have a window of 5/13-5-27 and still no movement,but I'm staying strong minded! Lol. I need it for the most important day of my life. 5/30/15!! I have faith... Timothy and company won't fail us!

All my modern buckle family......stay strong!

 
I'm hoping tonight we get movement. I know I said this already. LOL. Have a great night everyone.

OK, despite the fact my SS Midnight Blue Modern Buckle ordered xx:19 still says processing, you just cheered me up . Thank you!
 
Mine is not due until June, but there is no way I would give up now after a month in. I really want the modern buckle and who knows when you will be able to order just the band. Hang in there everyone.

My payment is pending on Paypal. Does that mean it will Prepare to Ship soon?

Never mind. Found my answer. I wish I could delete my own posts sometimes. On another note, does anyone know how flight tracker works? I see that UPS flights tend to ship from China to Alaska, and then from Alaska to Tennessee, then TN to destination. I'm wondering if our packages are labeled in Alaska or in TN. Seems silly but it helps to pass the time.

Poor soul

So...this doesn't help any of you...but your information is helping me!!! :) I ordered late, for no reason other than laziness and now I am SO MAD I wasn't up at 3 am on the 10th.
Ordered a SS 38mm with medium Midnight Blue Modern Buckle on 4/26, 6pm. Processing; June.
Following threads closely, waiting to see if anyone in this 5/13-5/27 window make any progress so I can more anxiously await my June arrival!
Just hang on guys, we can make it!!! And when we do, it will be OH SO worth it!
 
I hope yall get charged soon :) I got hit with a charge for my 38mm SS wsb I ordered this morning already and order shows preparing for shipment. I may just have to order the band when it becomes available separately.
 
Today was the start of my shipping window for my watch...and it never arrived :eek: #gutted...I'm now on the countdown to the end of the shipping period which is 13 days away. TBH, once i receive the watch I'm probs going to be so pissed off with the long wait that I'll resent it a little every time I look at it.

What was the purpose of pre-ordering? Seriously!? :(
 
Ive ordered a diff watch, but im waiting for the modern band to be available (band by itself). I want the midnight blue one.


Have any of you male buyers been told that the modern band is a girls band/girly?
What helped you decide to get it?

No, most guys I've spoken to have either ordered the Link, Sports or Modern Buckle bands...but no one has said they feel like it's a feminine band.

That helps a little.

I thought the 42mm watch felt better but i ordered the 38mm Space Black link bracelet just so i could use this band with it.
beside the steel link, this is really the nicest band the watches have
