I have one on order in the first batch, but it still says processing, so I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on one of these too, or hope the one I have on order actually arrives on the 24th.
Amazing how bad this roll out process has been. Starting pre-orders before the try-ons so couldn't see what they liked before they had to order. Sending people home to order online, instead of taking their order in the store while they are right there with the watch in front of the watch and have an Apple employee there to assist. Offering developers the option to order a watch for "expedited" delivery a week after per-orders were taken, which doesn't even ship until 4 days after the original release date. Giving a ship date range instead of an actual delivery date. Not having enough inventory to satisfy more than a couple minutes of pre-orders. Now randomly people are getting emails that their watches are preparing for shipment, while others are still processing who ordered the same model at the same time.
