Yep, ordered a 42mm SG sport for pickup later today and a 38mm White sport for the wife to pick up too. No problems. South Florida
It was a real pain in the butt to get the reservation though. Kinda crazy how they do it. You gotta enter in the Apple ID and PW as well as a "Capta" image. Then they generate a code that you have to text to a special number. Then you get a text back with another code. You enter that code back into the web page along with the phone number it was sent to. Then you get to pick your pick-up time. WTH Apple. Why all the crazy steps????

Just reserved my 42MM Space Gray Sport at Mayfair in WI, online order didn't even move off processing yet!
The store nearest me (Raleigh, NC) seems to have almost every model in stock. The 42 Black SS and some of the modern buckles aren't available. Ditto the Edition models. Otherwise, all the ones I checked are in stock.
Apple wasn't joking about these being available in store. LOL.

Any idea how strict the reservation time is? I reserved for 6:00 PM but I'm wondering whether I could go in and pick it up at an earlier time if I get off work early?
I was able to reserve a 42 SGS at Florida mall in Orlando if you are in this area.
Steps were a bit crazy. My office has no cell signal. Had to go out side and text the number and then run back in and finish off the form. I don't mind the crazy steps, gives you the feeling of accomplishment and that you are really going to get the thing.
Damned it looks like they forgot to ship watches to any store in Washington state. Not one has the 42mm SS, whashington state is not even selectable
How late do you guys ordered? (its 08:19 here now, i was trying on 08:00 am)

I just tried to order another 42 mm SG Sport at my local Apple store here in south Florida and it went through. They still have them 2 hours and 20 minutes after going live. Just an FYI for all. I have 3 apple stores in my area though so we often get a lot of stock here with Apple releases.
I was able to make a reservation for 1000 in Central Florida area. I just picked it up. I'm super excited and I canceled my online order. 42mm sport BSB
