Apple Watch Series 2 Now Available for Pre-Order Through Apple's Online Store

[kdog0126]

I just ordered a 42mm Space Grey Black Sport Band (Series 2) from Best Buy. Says ships / delivered on September 16. Same watch on Apple says ships in 2-3 weeks for an October Delivery.

I order Black Stainless from Best Buy too...will it really be delivered on 9/16? They charged my card already.

I don't know about anyone else but in the UK I was on straight away and standard delivery was 2 weeks with no option to collect in store.

Yeah, wouldn't allow me to get delivery to either Apple Store in Glasgow; sack Abrends now, it just works - but when it doesn't! Between this & last year's commotions, also hate the website 'experience' u have to go thru too many windows to get the price of Macs etc. Arrogance at its utmost!

Since some ordered right away and have Sept 16th dates, and then those that ordered 15 minutes later have Sept 26th date, that means they had about 12 watches ready to go at launch.

I ordered at 3:31am received my email at 3:34am and got Sept. 16th as delivery date.

I know right? It seems kind of crazy. I didn't even get one of the fancy sought after ones. It stinks because I am actually more excited about the Watch than the Phone this time around. I'm a runner and I am happy that I can track my runs and not have to have my phone with me.

I have the iPhone 6s+ in Rose Gold and I'm more excited about the AppleWatch Series 2 than the iPhone 7 as well. I'm going to hold out for the 7s+.

At least Apple woke up and realized the Gold edition was stupid. Nobody wants a $10k digital watch, period. Its why Casio and Timex never bothered to wrap their timepieces in real gold. I don't care what is behind an LCD screen, if a watch has a screen it is a utilitarian casual timepiece, not a fashion statement, regardless of what kind of material you wrap around it. It's just too m
...

I respect trailblazers, period. I miss the Apple of the iPod era, and I haven't realized how much I have missed Steve Jobs until this year.

A collection of normative statements presented as fact. Well done.

Oh boy. Another useless toy that has no real use or reason to exist.


So...

How's that new Mac Pro coming Timmy....you dork.

I applaud the improvements Apple have made to the Apple Watch, but I will continue to wait for the two features that I want: 1) thinner and 2) cellular capabilities that will free the Watch from dependence on an iPhone.

We don't do auto posts for this kind of thing, just FYI. Store was up for some people at the time that I posted.

I think it might be a matter of Apple servers "flipping over" amd until then some people woukd get cached versions.

Ordered as soon as the iPad app came online (about 12:07) and the 42mm black woven was already back ordered to the end of the month! (US.)

But my extra band will come next week

Checking on my iPad Pro, iPhone and rMBP, but the Apple store & app didn't come online from Toronto until 3:16 EST. I ordered a 42mm stainless steel w a white sports band (ordering leather & stainless bands elsewhere)... won't arrive until Sept 27-29. Oh well... I'll have my bands before then.

Enjoy!

Apple just charged me today for the watch. Delivery date for the 16th seems to be going smooth. Very excited...been waiting like two years for this lol. Held out on the first gen and feel this model is what should have been released the first time around.

I should have married my second wife the first time around. Hindsight is always 20/20.

in deed. Sounds like you should have waited for the "Second Gen" as well lol

 

[iPadCary]

Yes, that hasn't changed.
What did change, is that it doesn't need the iPhone for running/hiking
because the watch now has a GPS

OK, so it's a resounding NO to AppleWatch 2, also.
Thank you and the other three who helped me out on this one

I don't care what is behind an LCD screen, if a watch has a screen it is a utilitarian casual timepiece, not a fashion statement, regardless of what kind of material you wrap around it. It's just too many fanboys are deluded in thinking that putting a micro iPad on their wrist is the height of haute couture.

I don't think it was ever about consumer sales. It was about giving Edition watches to celebrities and making it exclusive enough (and expensive enough) that they'd actually wear it. I'd feel fairly confident making a bet that Apple gave away more Edition watches than they actually sold.
