Go easy on Apple, you know at $500 for a SS watch band there has to be something special involved in making it, otherwise it would be $49.00 - Be patient.
Got a tip for us?

If people focused as much energy on being DETERMINED to be happy as they do on being DETERMINED to be offended (on purpose), and focused on making others happy 10x more than they do on focusing INWARD at their own "problems", then noone here would BE angry, you'd just shrug and say "Ah welll, never mind - I've lived without it this far, and I can wait a bit longer", you'd all have a nice surprise to look forward to, because you'd be getting on with the rest of life, you know?
Patience and kindness maketh a man, not shouting and stamping like a toddler. Not only does that lose you your inner peace, it ALSO affects other people, which is really selfish indeed.

What if you bought all Apple products since the Apple I?
Do Tim Cook and Jony deliver it, riding in Jony's Anston Martin Vanquish
(off course they will invite you for a ride too)
and then
Apple's favorite band, U2 will set up on your driveway and play :
Boy, October, War, Unforgetable Fire and Joshua Tree in an all day set,
just for you ;-). I like their early stuff, that would be cool ;-).
I don't think anyone really qualifies for that. They would have had to buy EVERYTHING (Apple III, Lisa, Newton, Pippin, Macintoch portable, eMate, G4 Cube and even the Hockey puck mouse!) for nearly 40 years, that's all a lot of Apple products
.The additional cost is due to the nimble fingers of the young Chinese workers they use to construct those bands.
You just can't get that quality at Walmart.

No one vs. noone (vs. no-one)
While phrases like no body, some body, and some one have evolved into the compound words nobody, somebody, and someone, the similar phrase no one has never gone this route. A quick internet search reveals that noone is surprisingly common, but the two-word form and the hyphenated form (no-one) remain far more common in books and in edited publications.
The hyphenated form, no-one, is especially common outside North Americait is almost completely absent from 21st -century U.S. and Canadian writingbut the unhyphenated form prevails everywhere by a significant margin. This is the case despite the fact that many English reference sources list the hyphenated form as the standard spelling or recommend it above the alternatives.
I don't own, nor have I bought an Apple watch; don't believe all you read,

Thank you for pointing that out to me. Also, if you'd let me know what colour shoes you'd like me to wear, and what food to eat from now on, I'd be glad to oblige.
Ciao.
I don't care what color shoes you wear as long as you don't wear white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day.
Focus on a more plant based diet and avoid diet soda.
I'll make sure I follow your advice. Would you like me to order you a REAL dictionary from Amazon? Being British, I can pick the correct one for you.

That would be super fantastic! I'd like one of the big ones... with pictures.

I'll just buy you a comic for your poor American brain; I don't want to push you too hard.
Ordered the aluminum 38 mm pink sport band at 12:01 confirmation and still nothing. For what I've read not one pink band has been processed. My delivery times was 4/24-5/8

I agree, regardless of what you ordered, even if they ordered a different model than you, don't send any out. Only send them out in order of purchase regardless of supply....
While I will be a bit sad to not have this on Friday. I do understand that my order does specify 4/24-5/8... Yes that means up till May 8th. Never the less I am excited to get his puppy on my wrist.
Ah. Interesting. So many components at varying availibilities and popularities. Such a unique challenge. Especially at the scale of Apple products launches. Nutty.
Like others that have wondered the same, I wonder if selling watches and bands separately would make a better way to sell this product line. Hard to say.
Tim is that you? They've had so long to prep for this. I expect better for a "pre-order" 2 minutes after the system went live.
Is it just me, or does it feel like the SG Black are the very last ones to get a preparing for shipment?
