Apple Watch availability in US Stores

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????

As long as they have it in stock when you get there, then no big deal on the extra steps. But... if you get there an no watch...then you bring up all the steps and demand a free Edition model for your troubles.
 
Picking up a 38mm white today to add to my collection. Just had to make an appointment.
 
Reserved and picked-up a 42mm SGS in Minneapolis, MN. Extra hurdles to jump through with the ordering and check-out process, but well worth it. My 6/9 online order was still processing as of this morning.
 
Was in and out of store in about 10 min. Very seamless process. Also, they are definitely selling to walk ins. As I was waiting for my reservation appointment another customer was trying on AW and said ok I'd like to order one and the Apple employee said "we have them in stock today if you want one."

Oke this is strange. This morning I checked the site and there was no store in Washington state with stock.

Now a couple of ours later there is. So I reserved a SS at the Spokane store.

Nice upgrade for my Sport :)

Are the selling the bands also in the stores or only the watches for now. I'm looking to buy the SS band in the store
 
Reserved and picked up a 38 MM SS Watch with SS Milanese Loop in Dayton, OH. No waiting even without the reservation. In and out in 10 minutes. They also had all colors of the Sport watch band in stock. Now I just have to unjailbreak my iPhone 6 and restore to latest IOS.
 
I was at the Apple Store, Brea Mall (Brea, California) today and Apple Watches were flying off the shelf. Made me a little jealous they got bags with them, but whatever. I got mine 2 months ago. :D

Got my Black 42mm Sport today. All the stores in the Boston area had most of them in stock.
 
Picked mine up at Boulder, CO store this afternoon after canceling online order.

Got mine today at the Richmond, VA store...first purchaser at approx. 10am. They had pretty much everything in stock except Watch Edition.
 
Reserved mine at 8 AM this morning and picked it up two hours later. It was a very quick and easy experience at the Cincinnati Apple Store.
 
I like the experience of purchasing my Apple products in the Apple store so I waited for them to be sold in store. This morning I woke up and reserved my watch online and then went into the store and tried it on with different bands. I picked up the Stainless 42 with the black sports band. Got my wife the Sport with the White sports band. Very happy apple customer.
 
Just came back from the Apple Store in Spokane Washington. They had some stock but i saw on the guy his Store device thing (That iPhone 5s in a CreditCard case) a lot of red x'es at some models. So they most certainly had not everything in stock.

I was able to buy a SS Classic Buclke for myself to replace my sport and buy a SS Milanese loop for my Father in-law.

I am a happy European right here. They are so cheap here, I like :)
