This is what I'll be doing on April 10th, I am also getting 38mm blue AW Sport

1. Staying up for all 24 hours on April 10th (Just in case)
2. Apple Store up on my PC & Mac
3. Apple Store App up on my iPhone & iPad
4. CC info saved to account
5. Express checkout enabled
6. Watch I want added to favourites
7. Eating & Drinking

If you get your preorder in within the first hour, I think you should be fine.

22 replies before the actual good advice was brought out. I've already done 4,5 and 6 :)

With regards to doing 6, log into your apple account on Apple.com, view the watch you want and click on the love heart icon
 
I'll be getting the Silver SS Blue Leather Loop so I doubt that one will be very high demand for the midnight pre-order. Black Sport on the other hand...

Same one that I want to get, I'm just hoping they have them In store when I go to try one on.

I have done the same. What I couldn't do was select an extra strap and ad the to favourites
 
tHANKS! How do you do no 4 and 5?

You got to go into the settings on your Apple Store account and follow the prompts.

Sounds good. Did you leave out "No Doze" or 5 hour Energy?

Yep, no way I'm missing out on something I've anticipated and been excited for a very long time.
 
when the iphone 6 was released, macrumors was poppin.. everyone was online and waiting. i anticipate the watch release to be the same.
 
Also read somewheres to initially order the watch you want then on a separate order order additional bands. Don't want any chance for a band to hold up the watch.

If using a CC and the shipping address is different than the billing address, inform the CC company so they don't think it may be potential fraud and kill your payment to Apple.

Can't seem to enable on the app, did it on line but the buy now button doesn't show up.

Does this really happen?
 
The only thing I've really learned from pre-ordering, which has sort of already been addressed, is having both the website and the Apple Store app open. If it crashes like it did for the iP6, the app is usually back up first, but I find the website to be quicker when ordering (for me personally).

I don't think the demand will be anywhere near as high as it was for the iP6/+ so I'm sure you'll be fine.
 
I think this won't be so bad like people have been saying, but you never know. I think a lot of people don't know what to make of it yet. Its also costlier than the iPhone (its not really, but most people think that iPhones cost $199 because they don't understand money). I'm sure the most popular will be the Apple Sport. But I'm sure Apple knows that and is producing them accordingly.
