In the same boat... there will be stock shipped from what I hear but no one knows how much. One thing that we have on our side is that most won't be as interested this year as they would have been for the iPhone (which there will be many disappointed people when they find out there is no stock at all for those).
I would imagine so. The real uestion is what sort of line you'd be required to stand in. I am still on the fence on whether I should wait for my order or try and grab one.
My iPhone 7 is being delivered by UPS tomorrow and I'm debating whether to change it to hold for pickup at the hub so that I can go to the Apple Store when it opens.
I suppose there will be some available, but I doubt there will be plenty as online retailers are already issuing emails to inform customers of the lack of stock. My guess is that 38mm Aluminium is the most likely to be available, or the very expensive options (stainless steel link band)90% of the people tomorrow will be looking for the iPhone 7I'm gonna stop by in the afternoon to see the watches. Should be plenty in stock.
How desperate would I have to be to go to an Apple Store on iPhone launch day? Especially when things slow to crawl because of activation server issues. That's the question you should answer first.
So there's a 3-5 week backlog for EVERY model of Series 2 Apple Watch and there "should be plenty in stock" tomorrow? I think if I ordered online and could save myself a 3-5 week wait, there would be a gazillion cancellations on online orders. My layman's prediction is that supplies for all the launch items will be pretty tight tomorrow.
I'm going to attempt to call the store tomorrow maybe 12pm once they've had a chance to work their way through some of the iPhone customers.
I called my local store just now and they said they would have some in stock for tomorrow but wouldn't say how many.
Neither Charlotte, NC store has an 42 MM stainless steel in stock this morning. That's crazy to me. Between the upgrade debacle and now this, this is easily the worst launch in general in years.
Crappy launch. Really awful that there's no way to determine stock AND that all the staff/stores are so woefully uninformed. I visited all 3 Tokyo stores before the 8am opening this morning and none could tell me anything about the edition stock. The Apple Watch only store in shinjuku did a stupid appointment lottery system and subsequently wouldn't even allow us in to see the edition in person and they're going to continue this system for the next 48 hours
Very little watch stock at altamonte springs, Florida. I got there at 6 and was maybe 50 people back, by the time they got to me after telling everyone that they had no pluses I was about 20 people back. And apparently I was the first who asked about a watch at all because the guy helping me had to run back and ask about their watch stock. They had no SS at all. No silver aluminum at all, one or two gold aluminum and some space grey aluminum. Unfortunately I left empty handed
Showed up at my local Apple Store at 7:50 AM and was told by an Apple employee they couldn't sell the watches until 10 AM. If they are going to sell the phones they should sell the watches too. I'm not a happy camper.
I think the first launch in April - 2015 was the worst by far. Stupid appointments and viewing sessions, super long delays, defective haptic touch, etc.
I'm not understanding Apples new logic with low supplies. They want to make people wait versus having inventory.
