I received an update on my shipping date. Apple has narrowed it to June 23 - July 8. Macrumors needs to run another story about this "impressive" work by Apple.
The Macrumors writer has drank too much Koolaid. Yes it's just a watch and not life or death. But it is also a premium product and the entire process of getting one is a train wreck.
A few weeks ago I went to the store to try one on. No one was looking at watches. They said "sure - but we need to setup an appointment first". So I waited two minutes for them to fumble through and setup the appointment. Then I was allowed by permission of Tim Cook (I think) to try on the watch.
This is when my wife started loosing it - she wasn't aware of the mess this launch has been. She asked if she could buy one. They said nope, July at least. Then she asked how to order one. They said website. Smoke started coming out of her head. This is a women who knows shopping and she was dazed. We also have a house full of Apple stuff.
So for me the time has come to cancel my order and free the watch up for some other well deserving person

. My trusty Movado works great, looks nice, and I'm allowed the buy one same day without an appointment!
Macrumors, please avoid using the word impressive to describe this clusterbleep by Apple.
