links, or its all in your head. apples products are the most desired CE items on earth...which means they sell out. deal with it.
Based on the FAQ, ordering is only online. You can only try on the watch in the store.

My appointment isn't until 7:30pm (I'll be at work until then) please send me a PM and let me know the verdict please!
I will try and remember to do do.
sounds like you've got it all figured out. and with something Jobs shunned -- focus groups. looking forward to your turn running Apple, surely it's coming.
Yeah, because, creating anything "artificial" would be crazy
Super low demand, on a product that's iffy at best, and every news show/publication runs with it across the globe.
Creating artificial demand has been Apple's M.O. since inception. These latest "i" days have been the worst but it's always been there.
It's a cult. Everyone here knows that.
For all the naysayers AND media critics...
This product AND all its ACCESSORIES smell of HUGE profits.
For the those educated enough to know THE ACCESSORIES MARKET know what I'm talking about.
The APPLE WATCH and all that goes with it with be a CASH COW for Apple.
Not to mention their strategy to launch it Today - the same day as the roll out of SameSongs new Galaxy.
Gee, I wonder what product the media will be talking about today at length?
Any guesses?

They're going to funnel them into the same site we were just on, I bet. Apple being Apple.

I mean, he's not wrong.
yeah because the truth is more simpler -- they sell out BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THEM, every single time. it's simple: there are more people just like you who want these products, more than they can produce. short of running on magic, there's no way to give everybody everything they want immediately.
that's life, man. it's not a conspiracy. as I said -- Apple doesn't need to create artificial demand, they already have real demand. accept it and move on.
Could be interesting for those who didn't order tonight, when they go into the stores this weekend and find out they can't get a watch until June or later or have to go home and order one...hmmm? I know Angela is trying to change it so people don't wait in lines anymore around the stores but I kind of wish they did that for this on the 24th. I guess it will be awhile until you can just walk into a store and buy one off the shelf.
so because I state simple fact (Apple is the busiest, most in demand CE company in the history of man), it means I work for them? lay off the tinfoil!!!
I'm an enterprise windows developer...with over 2,000 post history here. reflect.
I will say this. Once the ship date on the Apple watch is delayed out, it's time to stop saying "Available April 24th". We all know it's not actually available that date anymore.
Never suggested I could. But this lack of black colored models at launch is not good. Not sure why you are so emotional about it unless you are TC. 1) Jobs is dead, no longer at Apple. 2) only suggesting there are tools to predict demand. But if you want to drag Jobs Into it he never launched a product with 20 different models. In fact he shut down the Apple Performa because it did have so many SKUs.
I said do do.
Sums up my preorder experience.
I'm currently watching a cockroach try to hump a peach stone on my bedroom floor. Now that sums up my preorder experience.
Times are slipping on line BECAUSE they need a supply for the stores on the 24th.....notice there was no "Pick up at Store" option online. My appointment this morning is at 10:30!

Good luck. It's why I booked 1st available appointment.
We shall see.
FWIW At least in the U.S. apps are open. I've got one at 10:45 this AM so I can see what I just bought.
