And who has ever done that with a failing product? I'm not saying it's going to surpass the iPhone (it isn't), but it's definitely doing better than some would have us believe. A failing product has only one schedule, and that's to get the inventory though the channels as quickly as possible and cut your losses, a la the Zune, the Rokr, etc.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch Could Launch in Austria, Denmark and India This Month

And Finland. I guess we'll get ours on December 30 (assuming that the 2015 promise holds) just so they can say they didn't wait all the way to the end of the year.
I live in Denmark, and I already bought 2 Apple Watch months ago in a local store. One thing is the official launch. The other thing are stores who have it anyway 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. For me, it is a matter of convenience, and using Apple Pay is just the cherry on top of the ice cream!
(At least no one complained about the Sehr gut! part
yeah, it's pretty great. i'm feel like i'm missing something, when i'm not wearing it. quick glances at notifications, dictating messages, remote controlling my phillips hue, workouts...
i've had my phone on mute since i got the watch...
i'm not 100% sure if it's worth € 450 for what it does (that's about $507 for the 42mm sports) - but watchOS 2.0 will make it even better. i'm also not too happy about the ion-x glass, which scratches quite easily, but all in all it's a great 1st gen product.
only maps sucks, as it almost never understands the addresses i'm asking from it. but that's the same on the iphone... :-(
no apple pay in austria for the foreseeable future, though. but we got nfc on our debit cards, so at least you don't have to open your purse for paying.

Well, as the Finnish launch is still not even announced (apart from that vague 2015 promise), it's quite sure that whenever it hits, I'm not going to shell out that kind of money for a 1st gen product that's about to be replaced soon anyway. I hope they'll make the 2nd gen version available much faster.
while everyone else, who has already shelled out the money is hoping, that the watch will have a 2-year cycle.
It's been 4 month, and actually less than that since very few people actually got their watches on the first day.
It is possible that some countries won'T get the first gen watches and skip right to generation two in April or may.
Please explain why as I cannot find a reason as to why Apple cannot release the Apple Watch worldwide 1st time like they do with the iPhones.
Nope, the iPhone is not released once worldwide. Though the process is more efficient, but the iPhone too lunches at different times in different countries, some of the counties get it two - three months later.
