It should be possible, but they may _not_ carry every stainless configuration depending on the Apple Store. And I would also be willing to venture depends how busy your store is, they may or may not have the model you want on launch day.I have a preorder pending but shipment to be due only between 15 and 22nd of October
So I was wondering, Will they have walk in purchase models in the stores on Friday? I’m looming for the SS Silver Model.. should be possible, no?
Do you really want to go to the apple store Friday, the place is going to be a zoo.I have a preorder pending but shipment to be due only between 15 and 22nd of October

Have to agree that the Apple Stores will be carnage with iPhone/Apple Watch collections and those hoping to just walk in. Will be even impossible to get around the tables to see them physically.
Ahh I'm not too worried about the amount of people there, somehow in Berlin it's never been that crazy at the Apple Store like in the US in past years.
You’re lucky, at my closest store to work (Regent Street, London) it’s crazy and the Covent Garden store is currently closed, so you can guess what it’ll be like! I may go try to look at the watches, but I’ll have to shoulder barge a few people to get close, that and elbows...
AT&T is practically doing BOGO on the new phones so someone will have a sale on the new watches.
Phones are a bit different - as they lock you in by crediting you the price of the phone over a two year period on monthly statements. No one has really done a month-to-month payment plan on watches outside of credit cards (that I am aware of).
I honestly don't see stores discounting a watch that will be highly in demand between now and Christmas.Watches are like iPads. Stores will discount them to get people into their store. I’m feeling confident someone will have a $50 off deal on the watch between now and December. And if not, oh well. I’ve gone this long without one.
That’s exactly why it’ll be on sale. It’ll get people into the store. Stores have done this in the past, even with the original Apple Watch.
All the stores by me have specific iPhone lines they set up - one for pre-orders, the other for walk-ins. Every other product you can just walk right in and look around, purchase, etc. So, there are tons of people, but they're kept separate.
There will be different lines for collections and those brave enough to camp out... You join the line at your allocated time and wait.
If there a huge queues which i doubt they will be this year, two queues will be in place....one for appointments and one foe those wanting to pick one up in store for purchase. If there are queues then they will be short as is quick in and out. It is not like it was in the days of no online ordering days where queues would go on round the block and is much better experience. However, it was fun queueing before the days of scalpers that would just push in.
Do you remember if the stop was showing on launch day or the day after? I can't remember for sure.
Last year for launch day AND the day after you would have been able to order online for same day Apple store pickup of the standard aluminum watch with sports band. The sports loop band was already sold out (remember last year was the debut of the sports loop).
