Thanks for the response. I guess I should have made my appointment sooner for the Space Grey Sport.... hopefully my store will get another shipment soon. :-/
Got a tip for us?

True, when I've used it walking too and it's a cute feature - which again saves you taking your phone out all the time (minor detail but still useful).Could you use the directions feature where it taps you to tell you to turn? I did that while walking and it was a lot of fun. Each time I was supposed to turn right or left to get to my destination it gave me a certain number of taps and I turned. Didn't have to look at my watch at all during that walk; I just enjoyed the scenery and at the end, I was at my destination.
On the motorbike however, I don't feel the vibrations as there are too many other vibrations going on - from the motor for a start and also from the wind rushing past. The same is kind of true for the phone, rarely feel those vibrations while riding even though it's in my jeans front pocket.
Glad your enjoying yours

Get a car. Problem solved.
Off topic, but I have one of those too - but I drive way too fast to be concerned with watch updates or vibrations!
Just checked the UK stores via the Apple Store iPhone app - still doing collect in store via reservations, availability as of 10.30am today onwards for the 38mm space grey sports. Not sure about other countries.
I'm now kicking myself for not going yesterday.
In store reservation seems to suggest that no models are in stock anywhere in the UK.
I'm hoping that this is because the reservation system doesn't come online til all stores open on a Sunday (e.g 11am)
Or maybe I'm SOL
Which model(s) are you looking at? Again checking me the 38mm space grey sport at Manchester Trafford Centre shows reservations from 12.30pm today. It's 12.05pm now so at least some stores have stock.

Earlier, I checked several, didn't even get to select a store.
Guy on chat told me system was down for scheduled maintenance, guess it's back up?
EDIT: yep, just reserved one for later
Was in the Apple Store yesterday, and all of the 42mm SS, SG sport, are all sold out. was standing by the AW display table, talking to a few of the employees. Who I have known for quite sometime, about our favorite features of the watch. And there where people coming up to the table every minute or so, wanting to buy the AW.
Only to be told that they are sold out. I think that Apple should have made the available in stores from day one. They are people out there that prefer to buy the watch in stores, and walk out with it on there wrist.
I think it would be a more pleasant experience for most people.

I'm trying to make a reservation at Apple Regents Street in London and I'm not getting any registration code back from Apple. Has that happened to anyone else? Also for those who have been successful, once you're in the system can you make a reservation a couple of days in advance? Or does it only give you options for that day?
I think reservations were for same day, at least when the reserve & collect system went live last Wednesday. As it's gone 6pm now I can't actually check.
Are you sure you have a UK phone number (i.e. with a UK provider using a UK SIM)? Seem to remember an earlier post saying that cross-border reservations weren't possible. Just a thought with your location showing as Jersey.
It's possible it's a sim issue but it's a UK number is +44 etc. I rang Regents Street and they said there had been issues today so that could have been the cause as well. They also confirmed its only daily reservations. I'm going to have to try my luck when I get to London on Sunday now.
Best of British then. Reservations kick off at 6am so it might be worth setting the alarm, getting intimately acquainted with coffee etc
I'm skeptical of the Apple Watch at the price. The UI seems very ugly and unintuitive, it's very pricey, it's got short battery time, the glass appears to scratch easily just being worn under long sleeve shirts/jackets. I would've thought Apple could've come up with a much better design. Not an Apple hater, just being objective.
