Apple does this on purpose!

We say this every product launch. Simply more demand than they can supply. Or, for the news. Who knows. Just order early, or suffer! LOL

More like order early and suffer anyway.

I think Apple was unsure, and maybe still is unsure, of what the demand will be for these watches. I was at an Apple Store today in a Chicago suburb and I noticed something. There were about 50-60 customers in the store looking at all kinds of products. Not one of them was looking at the watches. That could be a timing coincidence. It probably doesn't mean much. It just made made me wonder about how much interest there is.

I noticed the same thing in the Northbrook and Deer Park stores. Even on the 10th (first day watches were on display), it was easy to get a try-on without an appointment.

Perhaps once you can actually buy an Apple Watch in the store there will be more interest. They're still telling people they can't get a watch until June and that's got to be killing sales.

I feel you OP... The frustration is too much, I hate waiting

Opposite

I think is done exactly the opposite , what I see is the interest on this product diminishing , the hype created has quickly vanished . Something went not so well with this kind off weird launching . Nobody I know plans or wishes buying it. Time will tell how effective this roll out and subsequent popularity of theWatch might be. For now , due to the long wait and delays on getting the 2 watches that I ordered 10 minutes after launching have made me less excited about having them , plus all the comments that I have read in the forums makes me wonder if it was a good decision after all , time will tell after and when I finally get to try it.
