Apple Confirms Many Apple Watch Pre-Orders Will Arrive Sooner Than Expected

[uid15]

Same watch and order time. But mine is still processing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allow me to clarify something: you're not ALONE on this planet, and some poor people WISH they had a decent enough life to have your "problem". Get a grip.

Sorry to inform everyone who purchased the larger SS with Black Sport Band. I just confirmed that a plane with 100,000 of them just went down in a Louisiana swamp. Just great

I predicted this!

Keep on winding them up, but do it a little more slowly and subtly... I'll go and get some popcorn, you make the coffee...

What an entitled, self-centred first world society. Suddenly your favourite company is (temporarily) your "enemy", just because your new toy couldn't be delivered as soon as you'd worked yourself up into thinking. Folks like you are as changeable as the wind, double minded, frustrated and confused from folly of your own making.

Such a stupid consumer culture, and I bet the majority of you won't even work out the BASIC FUNCTIONS for well over a month, you just want one JUST because all your peers have one.

Get over yourselves and stop throwing attention seeking public displays of show-boated tantrums, like ANYONE cares.

You seem to care.

Silver Sport (blue band) with June delivery was charged today. No change on Apple website yet.

 

[3square]

I addressed it.
Are you saying that NO ONE is getting a watch on launch day?

nope just need at least one person to not get it, and that will prove my point.
Very sad to say, but i do fear that some of us will not get it on time as promised. And there lies this whole launch BS.

It is available on the 24th. Just not to everyone in the world who orders. Only entitled people would be upset about that.

wrong the correct availability IS 4/24 - 5/8. and that's my point on why everyone is deceived, NOT entitled.

Do you not understand that your order is NOT final until you know, you actually complete the order?

Or did you expect that you can login and 12PST, see something is available, then you can take your sweet time ordering it, maybe grab a cup of coffee while you are checking your bank balance, watching a couple more watch videos and then when you are finally ready to complete the order, the same availability will still be there?

If you expect that you have feelings of entitlement.

not at all, i got my confirmation at 12:03 PST. like everyone else. and yet we're all getting BS mixed bag of order status.

You also might want to actually check what the meaning of "false advertising" is before you throw that phrase around.

"False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising, and misrepresentation of the product at hand, which may negatively affect many stakeholders, especially consumers."

That is for you, i already know the term when i use said term. Especially when the term is an insult

He is right with so much wrong in this world we are concerned about an computer watch. Maybe its an escape for some and an addiction for others.

bad news...

i ordered a 38mm + sport band thru the iphone app at 12:01AM on the day of preorder.

earlier in the week i got a myUPS email with a tracking number. i checked it yesterday and this morning, and it was in the "order processed - ready for UPS" state until a few minutes ago, when it changed to:


Shipment Information Voided

The sender has voided the UPS tracking number created for this shipment. UPS does not have possession of this shipment.

i wonder what that's about. the apple store page still says "preparing for shipment". they did charge my credit card earlier in the week.

Lol. You're telling me to get a grip? I'm sharing in the excitement surrounding a company and product that I not only care deeply about, but whose success directly affects me as an iOS Engineer.

Look in the mirror, dude. I'm not the one trolling a forum.

EDIT:

Also, a period after quotation marks is supposed to go inside. If you're going to troll, at least make sure your grammar is on point. Hahaha.

Well, I would think that a plane would not sink too deep in a swamp, so as long as it is less than 1m, then all should be good. Well, except for the boxes.

Where did you hear this news? I checked CNN (they are usually good with plane crashes and missing planes) and they did not have this story.

If you are going to be the grammar police, you may want to improve your grammar.

"Also, a period after quotation marks is supposed to go inside." Now that is a grammatical marvel!

They could have to just recreate the label based on a wrong weight or something that try input. Give 1-800-my-apple a call

 

[dfine1966]

I ordered on the April 10th a 42MM SS with Medium Black Leather Loop. It is still processing.

I looks like the only combinations not getting delivered at all on the 24th is the combination of 42mm SS with any Leather Loop combination. Maybe the Black SS also might not be delivered on the 24th either.

I myself don't expect mine till June, since that what it says on my order.

All 42MM Stainless watches with any type of Leather Loop started out of the gate at 3:01AM ET at 4 to 6 weeks. It went to June very quickly.

So I doubt it will be delivered before the middle of May at the earliest. I think they have a low supply of the the leather loop bands.

So be glad if you get yours watch early, and for those who don't, be patient you will get yours as soon as Apple sends it. If yours says April 24 through May 8, you will get it sometime between that date.

maybe, although the weight was listed at 1.8 pounds which seems reasonable, or maybe on the high side.

anyone else have their tracking # canceled?

will call when the person for whom it is a gift is not around

 

[SSDGUY]

That's it?

Only four articles on Apple Watch pre-order deliveries on page one? Pathetic.

 

[2457282]

July?!?
i just went to pre-order now, it still reads "June."
What model has she preordered?

SS 38mm with pink modern buckle

 

[Itsnickg13]

No change on mine yet
I really do hope this is true. i would be happy if i get mine mid May

 

[Harrisonhud]

It seems very few folks on here ordered versions with leather bands. Has anyone been given a shipping notification for a SS with any leather loop option? I ordered the 42mm SS with the Light Brown Leather Loop, and am sitting at 2-4 weeks, which isn't unusual given that I waited until about 9:15 eastern to order launch morning. Still, it'd be cool to see someone getting this model. On the one hand, I would think no notifications means a problem with the band manufacturer. On the other hand, how many months have they had to pump out those bands?

 

[McDaddio]

nope just need at least one person to not get it, and that will prove my point.

All that it proves is that you have an entitlement attitude.

Your position is that every company has to have inventory to satisfy all demand on the launch of the product for products once the pre-order window opens.

That isn't just entitlement, nor even super-entitlement, it is also lunacy.

Dear Apple,

Love how every single person I've spoke to on here about the Pink Sport is in the same boat as me. No charge, no status change. WTF? Did you not make ANY pink sports???? It would have been nice to know that. I ordered at 3:03am EST. Seems plenty soon to me especially being that from what I've heard that band wasn't as popular as others so you should have enough to fulfill orders up to 3:03. I'm really disappointed with the lack of communication and the fact that you are so happy to announce you're getting people their watches who had a delivery window beyond me (and many others).


Great job! You please a bunch of people who were already expecting to not have their watch on launch or anywhere near close to it but in the same token you're probably losing a lot of faithful customers who ordered immediately with the first delivery window.

Yes I understand that it's a delivery window for a reason but to hear you gloat about people getting their watches sooner than expected, it ticks me off a bit and makes me think well what about me and all the other people who were hoping and praying we would get it on launch day too? Why didn't you concentrate on getting our orders made? Why did you focus so much on mass producing an absurd amount of one watch while you haven't seemed to make a single one of another?

Sorry to bring everyone down with all my negativity. It helps to write it and feel like maybe someone in the chain of Apple will see it and make it better next time around. Maybe they will realize how let down a bunch of people will be when they really don't get their watch on launch day while others who were supposed to get it in May or June did. Let me tell you Apple, it feels ******. It makes me want to cancel it but I love Apple products so much that I won't just because the people behind the products effed up this whole preorder business.

Bottom line is, next time if you're going to have production issues I hope you'll communicate it with your customers. I (along with many others I've spoken to) would have chosen a different watch!

Sincerely,
Loyally, angry customer

It could be cancelled because of the plane that went down with 100,000 units it the Louisiana swamp a few hours ago.

 

[bytethese]

Well, I didn't get my watch but I'll have an extra charger when I do...

 

[Itsnickg13]

So i have noticed that the people that ordered the sport models are the ones that are saying preparing for shipment even though their delivery date was May or even June ( i only saw screenshots on MacRumors on Facebook). i wonder if anymore (like me) that ordered a SS and its estimated for June will also ship early.

Can someone let me know if they ordered the SS (got the delivery date May or June) and it says preparing for shipment?

 

[Dennismchgn]

My two cents, this is an Apple forum for people to talk about Apple products, so even though many of us are getting a bit carried away in our comments over the Watch, this is the place for it and I think people are just having some fun or expressing their frustrations, this isn't a site to talk about solving world hunger, etc. so I don't really have an issue with the "if I don't get my Watch it's the end of the world..." comments. Crazy? Yes. But we are on a forum made just for this purpose.

hahahaha really!! Wow

Hahaa yeah sorry, got a *little* angry but you know now I feel better haha
