My wife is still waiting for her 38mm AW3/LTE Nike+ in Silver with Crimson SL band. I ordered at midnight on pre-order day, too. Still showing no in-store pickup and delivering 10/23-10/27. Bummer.

I got my SG AW3/LTE delivered on launch day. I love the dot, haha!! I haven’t had this much attention wearing an AW since Series 0. I’ve been asked several times now, after someone spies the dot, “Is that the new AW?”

“In dot we trust”, haha!! :D
 
Did Apple really think a glaring red dot on these Watches is a design choice people were wanting? I wonder if someone will sell after-market glue dots to cover them up.
 
Is there only difference between a regular apple watch series 3 gps and the Nike version is the band it comes with and the exclusive Nike watch face? Zero other differences?

No other differences, as far as I know, and I have done some research here. Which makes sense - no price difference.

The only other minor difference is the Nike+ version has the laser engraving on the back to signify a Nike+ edition.
 
"Several posts confirm that in some cases, customers are cancelling their online orders held up in shipping and are walking into local brick-and-mortar stores to buy their chosen Nike+ Series 3 model outright."

Yay... customers are wising up

There's already a place that sells dots to use on the crown
 
To all the red dot malcontents. Red is the color of fire and blood. Ferrari, Lambo, Leica, and others embrace this very intense color to their continued success. I am sure they nor Apple will be swayed by your discontent. Just be glad the watch isn't beige.

Today I walked into the Apple Store and bought the 42mm Anthracite/Black model. Replaced the LTE model that I had preordered, saved $74.
 



Apple Watch Nike+ GPS and LTE Series 3 models are now available to buy in stores across Australia, Asia and Europe, with customers already posting shots of their newly acquired smartwatches on the MacRumors forums and over on Reddit.

Several posts confirm that in some cases, customers are cancelling their online orders held up in shipping and are walking into local brick-and-mortar stores to buy their chosen Nike+ Series 3 model outright.

MacRumors forum member griffith_500 posted the above photo explaining that he preordered the Nike+ LTE with a reseller only to be informed today that they wouldn't receive the watch before mid October. "So I tried my luck and walked into the Apple store in Zurich where they had all the Nike models on stock... Love it!"

Nike+ Series 3 LTE bought in Shanghai Apple Store

Over in China, Reddit member eddietsai posted the above image of his Nike+ Series 3 LTE purchase from a local Shanghai Apple Store, where they only had the Sport Loop in stock.

Meanwhile across the U.S., Apple orders are currently in transit across various locations and should be making their way into the hands of customers in the next few hours. Although some eager early risers have also cancelled their online orders with Apple after stores including Best Buy updated their stock to indicate availability for in-store pickup as soon as stores open today.

Mine is finally delivered at home this afternoon. Tracking reveals that Watch arrived in Memphis from China on Saturday and then languished in Memphis, and then FedEx failed to deliver it yesterday as promised. I don't know why FedEx always seems to drop the ball when I'm awaiting an Apple order.
 
Great just found out that I can’t activate it because I’m on AT&T grandfather unlimited data plan :(
 
Don't worry soon they will have so many that Apple can't give them away....
Please hold your breath for that to occur...like the Fifth Dimension once sang with liberties....one less bell to answer, one less nitwit to cry...
 
What? I bought mine last week from the Apple Store in Manchester. Black steel series 3, just walked in, asked if they had any and they did.

So I’m confused by this article. Unless it sold out after I bought mine? If so that’s a very quick turn around from something being sold out.

Here’s a photo from a couple of days ago now that I was using to troll a right wing “**** poster” on Twitter.
