... I have move out of my apt by June 1st and I'm hanging on till the last possible minute before i have to switch my address... But I'm losing hope here.
I changed my delivery address late last week when I knew I'd be at a different address this week. As long as it's still in Processing status it's easy to do, and no effect on your position in the queue.
Mine went to PFS Monday morning, was shipped later in the day on Monday (from California), and arrived in Indianapolis (2000 miles away) Tuesday afternoon via UPS. So once it starts to be prepared for shipment (aka dispatch in the UK, as I've learned this week
), it's a fast process.
It's here! UPS just left. I now have to run out to print some x-rays for my friend the chiropractor. I've taken it out of the box, but that's all I've done so far, more later.... I'm so excited, I practically jumped the UPS guy.
I practically did, too! I had just pulled up in the driveway when he pulled up and started to walk by me toward my door. I jumped out and rushed to him, and started gushing like Winthrop did in the Music Man about his shiny gold thing (his trumpet) after the Wells Fargo Wagon brought it. I'm sure I sounded ridiculous! I told him it was like Christmas, asked him if he knew what it was (he guessed right), and thanked him maybe five times. They probably walk away from people like us and chuckle for at least five minutes!

Received mine yesterday, played with it some, but today was my first day wearing it out and about. After over 14 hours of use, and lots of playing with it off and on, it's at 37% battery life. Not bad! I charge my iPhone and iPad every night, so adding my watch to the routine's no big deal.
I've had a lot of fun discovering the little things today, like looking for the little dot above Mickey to know I have notifications or texts waiting, and how to read and then dismiss them, and how to view a little circular chart that shows the temp and forecast for each of the next 12 hours. I haven't read the manual at all, although I did watch the one video about changing the watch face and adding a few other items to it (battery meter, temp, and date), and that gave me a feel for how the controls all work.
My daughter sometimes complains about me pulling out my phone when we're at a restaurant, so today I waited until she glanced away and quickly read my messages, and she didn't notice. Success!
I also used "Hey, Siri!" to send a few short texts while I was in the car.
So far, it's wonderful!
Based on the advice of a friend who scratched his sport watch the first week, I've ordered a package of screen protectors (I prefer matte finish on my phone and ipad, so we'll see how matte works on the watch) via Amazon Prime that are due to arrive tomorrow. I know my glass is a harder finish, but I'd rather put a protector on for now until I get used to it being larger than my old watch. I've accidentally lightly bumped it a few times today and just don't want to take a chance.
I still love my lt pink MB band -- It was (well, maybe almost anyway) worth the wait.
