Preorder today. Release on the 20th
(Fingers crossed)
They (Tim Cook) already said April release.
And it would really solve the problem of what to get my Dad for his birthday.
So there's absolutely no way that it may improve from a passing interview? No official date was added to the website. It says early 2015 not April 2015.
Could just be for updating pricing on Watch.
My guess is for another product, available today. Capitalize on the fever & get your money twice: today + next month = the thinking of the most successful company on the planet. Plus announcing an "available today" product might mask any Watch sticker shock.
Either way, the global geekness is at an all-time high. And they know it. Masters.
I still maintain: the best part of any keynote are the moments leading up to the lights dimming and the house music stopping. At that very moment, any- & everything is possible.
Have fun, kids!
I mean it is always possible, but I don't think apple has EVER release anything early.
Checks MacRumors...
Yep... there's a story about it!
That's why
one would think they would lose some sales during that time =)
Doubt the Watch will be available for preorder today. Likely a MBA update or its just being taken down to it can go back up with Apple Watch info once the even ends.
My bet is we will set a bit more hardware, which is good.
I rarely pay attention in the past, but if memory serves correctly. Don't they typically take the store down closer to or during the event? I don't remember them doing it this early in the past.

It is the feature 99% of the viewers this morning care most about. My final guess:
Sport
$349 (38mm)
$449 (42mm)
Watch
$549 (38mm)
$649 (42mm)
Edition
$899 (38mm)
$999 (42mm)
Bands
$49-$200
I bet not a single one is accurate.
If they end up being that price I'd be happy....anything less and I'd be even happier
I think they are going to end up more than expected which is why I'm nervous...I do hope they don't overprice them.
Quick question.
Not that I m expecting Watch pre-orders to go live today, but do other sites generally begin pre-orders in line with Apple.com?
I will be getting it from Best Buy, and I don't recall if retail sites go live with pre-orders at same time.

Of course that's assuming it's available outside the Apple Store to other retailers at launch. I can see the Apple Watch being an only available at the Apple Store exclusive.
