Apple Online Store Down Ahead of Apple Watch Pre-Orders

[SMIDG3T]

The Black Steel Link Bracelet might not ship until JUNE! That's longer than the Apple Watch Edition!

 

[JonnyIreland]

When I ordered the App said "Delivers 24/4-8/5", but the confirmation email says "Delivers 13 May - 26 May" for the Watch.... these forums should make for interesting reading if everyone is getting burned like this lol.

Well, I held back because (a) I was torn between Sport alu/white and Sport Space Grey/black. Looks like space gray/black has sold in record time, and (b) if there's no guaranteed delivery time, I can't order as will need to book time off for delivery.

I'll wait until the demand has died down and will then order...which is a shame, as I really REALLY wanted to be an early adopter...hey ho!

Enjoy your Watches when they get delivered, peeps. I look forward to some unboxings and in depth reviews!

This watch is overpriced and utter trash in my opinion..

Oh, go get some sleep. Maybe you'll wake up smarter.

I'll put your stupid opinion where it belongs. And then flush.

iPhone 6 plus with apple pay, was out with 2 orders in under a minute. Watch for 399.99 space grey 42mm and then the loop band 42mm. Band says it ship 5 days later but that's fine, no rush on that. Happy to have my order done with.

 

[pixelss]

[goinskiing]

Ordered 42mm SS Milanese Loop as soon as it went up on the app. Used Apple Pay and was done in 30 seconds flat. April 24th date on mine. Then went to order a black sports band but already showed 4-6 weeks, I think I can wait.

 

[Alith]

Ordered in record time on the iPad app from UK. It went up a few minutes after 8:01 and there was no lag at all.

 

[PhiLLoW]

Were you guys apple to order a separate band within the app??? Haven't seen any option for that while orderng...

Edit: Apple Store website is back online and I was able add a separate band there.

 

[rovolo]

Ordered via iPad App. Apple Store in Safari still down at 9:09 am (Germany). SS with Link Bracelet showed 4-6 weeks from second one. Switched to SS w black sport band. Delivery between 04/24 and 05/08.

 

[Daws001]

Done. Ordered the 38mm sport aluminum white band (4/24 - 5/8) and a black sport band (4/29 - 5/12).

Going back to bed. Night all

 

[34 Volt]

Preordered via Apple Store app. 42mm Sport Space Gray. Hopefully the shipping time moves up from 4-6 weeks :/

 

[TheLondonFella]

I just placed my order via the Apple Store app (UK).

Completely seamless.

Delivery 24th April - 5th May.

Sport/42/White Band.

Good luck in getting the model you're after ...

 

[friedmud]

Damn.

"Available to ship: 4 - 6 weeks"

For 42mm SS with Black Sport band.

Sigh. Another month and a half wait... ugh.

Yes, but I have seen the Pebble, my guy at the office has had one for a year and loves it, but this is the reason why I am up tonight to order the Apple Watch - the Apple Watch will be so much better than the Pebble! Smart Watches are a good idea and many people will soon be wanting one if they haven't yet understood all of the good things this tech can do.

You are up tonight to get the Apple Watch too right? Or just staying up late and posting negatively about the Apple Watch in hopes to affect the stock price or something haha. Just makes me wonder.

Time to order now! Yay!

Actually I'm not staying up late because I'm in the UK and, for us, it's at a reasonable hour. Also, the only thing I've gotten tonight is a try-on appointment for Saturday afternoon. No pre-order for me right now.

Purchased on the Apple Store App with Apple Pay. Took about 15 seconds.

Yes.. the Apple Store app made it painless. Just clicked "Account" and picked the item in my favorites.
However, the confirmation email says the Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band is "Available to ship: 4-6 weeks — Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by standard shipping". But then, I did wait until 12:03am to place my order.

 

[Locoboof]

Were you guys apple to order a seperate band??? Haven't seen any option for that while orderng...

yes... ordered a white sports band

 

[1Life]

Got one finally! Good luck to you guys!

 

[Locoboof]

Anyone able to make a appointment with the store?????

 

[Iconoclysm]

38mm SS Milanese Loop. Got through immediately at 3:01 AM EDT.

 

[luckydcxx]

AAPL will be trading up in a few hours. Shipping times have slipped till June for some styles in a matter of 14 minutes. The demand must be crazy!

 

[icerabbit]

WHY are we NOT able to spec a size for either the S/M or M/L??????

Yep went back in and picked up my loop on a 2nd order. Went smooth on both transactions via the app on my iPhone 6 plus.
