Apple Watch Now Available for Pre-Order Through Apple's Online Store

Device Account Not Same CC Number?

Just went to my account to see if my order went through okay and it shows some strange Visa number, NOT the number I ordered. Is this happening with others or is this normal? It says "Device Account Number" but I ordered through Apple Pay with my established cc!

That happens with Apple Pay. Don't panic.

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.

I have first appointment at my local store too. And I have a plan. Gonna smear a tiny bit of poop on the underside of my wrist. "Can I try on the watch please?" "Yes Sir of course..." "Oooooh no. I got poop on it." "TAKE IT. TAKE IT NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!" Here's hoping. Will report.
 
My ship date is in 4-6wks but I also put in an Appointment for my local Apple store for 12:45 today. I'm assuming the 4/24 date will still be available for in store appointment people. Getting an Appointment may just get you the in-store appointment stock.

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.

No, because you are a little high-strung and fan-ish. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but you should diversify your ranting portfolio.

Also, record profits make not most company in demand. That just makes them highly profitable.

This is not the same Apple as it was, even 10 years ago. iPhone software/hardware quality has tanked, in the past few years. It's an unwritten law... The more you mass produce, the lower your quality gets.

We pay Porsche prices, for our devices, yet we get Volkswagen quality. VW's are awesome but no one is going to pay Porsche prices for them.

It's really late. I won't remember this tomorrow. If you want to argue, just know that I didn't quit... I am sleeping and will have better things to do for the rest of my life.

Ugh, thank you. I was about to. I delayed making sure it went through with the right cc since my quick pay didn't work in app apparently. Thanks!

No problem. Went through the same confusion a month ago doing my taxes and wondering why my receipts listed a strange card number.

Nope. Online is the only way to get it right now.

Looking forward to the looks on cashiers' faces when I first start using Apple Pay on this thing.
 
This thread really went downhill towards the trough of everyone's circadian rhythms. Go to sleep everyone.

Was just curious if I'm the only one on here that got the modern buckle with their stainless steel watch. And that everyone else experienced the same 4-6 week (May 13 - 27) arrival date. Anyone get the same? Earlier?
 
Well, I guess Apple's marketing has worked on me: I was going to get a black sports as I didn't want to spend too much on a 1st gen, but shipping slipped to June before I ordered so decided I wasn't going to bother after all.
However, I've been waiting that long for one I couldn't let it go so I got the one I really wanted from the start, which was the 38mm watch with classic buckle. £200 more to Apple and I get a delivery date in first run :)

nonsense. I don't have a rant history -- most of my replies these days are to the conspiracy theorists, trolls, haters, or children. those that think because they couldn't get what they wanted when they wanted it that the world has a plot against them, or that those who explain the simple dynamic of supply and demand are paid Apple shills. you know the sorts of posts.

make no mistake -- Apple is the most profitable company in history *because* it's the most demanded in CE. there is no other single better selling smartphone, smartwatch, tablet or notebook. facts.

the notion that apples quality has tanked is false. they are the single best selling devices yet also earn the highest consumer satisfaction ratings in the business. thems also facts.

the notion that apples prices are akin to Porsche is absurd -- $0 for old iPhones, $199 for new, $50 iPods, $250 iPad, $350 for the watch, Mac for $500... these things are very affordable. you must be thinking of super luxury android brand Vertu.

again -- just because demand exceeded supply (yet again, as it does every single launch, and even warned by Apple) doesn't mean there's some bogus conspiracy to artificially constrain supply. it just means there aren't enough Chinese working 24/7 at Foxconn to build our stuff. I can live with that, a pity some of you evidently can't.

Mine is still saying "processing", I ordered around 00:02-03. Should I be worried? VISA shouldn't take too long to process...
 
Anyone knows when the card gets billed? My order want through but no money was withdrawn.
 
Gonna wait on the Pebble Steel 2, i want more than a half a day battery life after 10 charges, and an always on e-paper display :cool:
