You forgot about Poland, Apple Store app has also been updated there and now features the Apple Watch, without stating any specific date, just currently unavailable. However, no changes have been made to the Apple.com/pl site.

i was gonna say... halfway into the product cycle already....

And in the iOS app for Polish store finally Watch appeared in the list and all the pages for the Watch are translated, with Polish prices. What's curious is that on the webpage there is still nothing

Should have been upgraded already.

RIP Norway

You are not losing much...

This roll out has been weird. It's now officially coming to Denmark, but you have been able to buy it online here since june, and in many big stores since august. I know. Import. But still.

Are we ever going to get a release for Watch OS 2? When I saw the watch photos, I was hoping that's what the news was.

Why does everyone assume there will be a hardware update every year? Odd assumption.

 

[DirtySocks85]

Loaded MacRumors, saw an Apple Watch article, was hoping WatchOS 2.0 was released. Was subsequently disappointed. Soon....

That is just peachy, but Siri will have to start learning Polish stat, since babbling commands to your phone in English in a non english speaking country is bad enough, but the Watch is borderline useless without Siri on board to handle Messages, e-mails and other hands-free usage scenarios that make up the Watch experience.

Austria! Great, now I can get it in the stores that speak Austrian!

Sehr gut!

Must have never heard or the TV

 

[BruceEBonus]

About as eagerly anticipated as .... The Apple Stylus ....sorry .... Apple PST (Pencil-Stick-Thingy) ...possibly

With absolute certainty, you will get os2. It will be released when it's finished.

Yup, that's the main disadvantage why Watch isn't that popular in Poland. However, when it comes to dictation, iOS handles the language nicely but understanding phrases and converting them into commands will be very hard since Polish grammar contains declension and other aspects that are absent in English.

It will probably be before the Sept 25 launch of the watch in Australia, Denmark, and Ireland.

Ireland is part of the UK well at least Northern Island is. I bet the people from the southern parts just drove North to get one

The train from Dublin to Belfast leaves you less than 10 minutes walk away from the Apple store. i'd say lots of people have done exactly that

 

[Mike MA]

Wow that's really late, people are already speculating when the successor will arrive...

The Apple Watch has the CPU/GPU power of an iPad 2. What makes you think there will be any revision coming soon? Even watchOS 2 doesn't tap the full power of the unit yet.
