Apple Retail Stores...

Apple Retail stores will not be selling the watch, only online purchasing is available. More products may be offered this way in the future... I talked to a specialist today and she said Apple wants to make stores more "showroomy".
 
Nobody can answer my question?

"One question for all of you and expecially for MacRumors Staff: This means that i can take my reservation pass online on 10th and then pickup the watch on the 24th? Please pardon me for my terrible english, i’m a foreign student and i need this information because i want to pre-order the Apple Watch like the iPhone 6, with the Reservation Pass."

Chill dude, it's been 6 minutes since you asked :cool:
 
I will buy all so that only I can use it :cool: But I'll leave you took a picture with me to look cool :D

Purchasing happens online. Not sure if it can be picked up in store.
 
I think I might be the only one who's getting the 42mm Space Grey  Watch Sport Edition. Seriously, why on EARTH would people want that particular model anyway? :p

Seriously, I'm on the edge of buying this as I have with every other Apple product being a first adopter for iPhone, iPad... hmm.... :)
 
Infact, the problemi is this. For the iPhone 6, some day before the official launch, i take my reservation pass for the pick-up at a specific time. Hope this happens also for apple watch because, but Apple was not clear with informations
 
Anyone who preorders this disaster needs to be voted off the planet.
 
Apple need to be really careful with what they are doing with the Apple Watch, they could get into some serious trouble. They have built up such an unprecedented (even for Apple) pre launch release frenzy that there is a real possibility that someone may explode with the excitement.
 
So what time for US mountain and central?

Hopefully the store will be up at 12:00 so I can have my cart ready to check out by 12:01. Good thing my credit card is stored on safari so I don't have to waste countless seconds entering all that in.
 
Some other people asked, but I really need specific answer. Let me explain my situation. I live in Poland and since it's not available here 4/10, I plan to reserve it online at store.apple.com/de and then go to Berlin to Apple Store and buy it there on 4/24. Will it be possible? If not, how do you suggest to do it instead?

I did similar thing with the iPhone 6, day after launch they suddenly became available at Berlin Apple Store, so I reserved it, got an e-mail confirmation and that was it, I went there with my ID card and bought it.

Is it not stored on your Apple ID?

Yup, I'm thrilled to see the first ID10T to drop their watch on camera.

We do not know if Apple will allow in store pick up for online purchases yet. That information has not been given out.
 
So far in 14 minutes, about 4 pages worth of people expressing their excitement and sharing which they will be purchasing. Including me. ;)

It's completely inexplicable that so many young people have been raised with such bad taste.
 
I'm outside the USA, can someone of you contat apple support trough chat and ask for this?

"I plan to reserve it online at store.apple.com/de and then go to Berlin to Apple Store and buy it there on 4/24. Will it be possible? If not, how do you suggest to do it instead?"
 
I wonder how long it will take to get through in the first few hours? I'm sure their servers will be overloaded. :(

Seeing that the keynote didn't have issues the last time, it seems Apple was able to spin up more VM's to handle the additional loads.
 
Stock problems?

Funnily enough both my wife and I favourited our choices this morning, however, the model I've selected (42mm Steel leather loop) shows as 'unusually ships for 24th April, whereas her choice (38mm pink modern buckle) shows 4-5 weeks???
