Any chance the LTE version will be available in the store on Oct 5th? Whats the best way to try to get one, should I try to buy it at midnight on Friday and choose 'available for pickup'?

i think they should have some available for pickup. check on 5th october may be early in the morning!
 
Isn’t the run tracker just the app?
I think there is a Nike run club app that works on any watch

I also read somewhere that you can install that Nike watch face onto your watch via the iPhone app. I'm not sure if they mean the Nike App or the watch app.

So, for non-Nike watch owners, it sounds like you can download the app, install the watch face, and then possibly get a third-party band that resembles the Nike band. ;)

Thanks. With “available for pick up” does the physical store need to be opened? Or can I do it when I wake up?

Maybe the Nike retail stores will have a few too?
 
You can order for pickup even if the store is closed as far as I know. Whether that will be enabled on the 5th is another matter; Apple has tended to disable that for launch day in the past but who knows what they'll do here.

This is my first time doing an Apple pre-order, and I got the watch primarily for a race I've been training for the first weekend of November. I ordered Nike+ GPS + Cellular, 38mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band and it still says delivery by October 5th. I haven't been charged yet, and it still says order in progress. Anyone else experiencing this?

Mine says to ship by October 13th but I haven’t been charged yet either.
 
October 5th? So that explains it.

I ordered mine 1st day from Verizon and have had a "pending delivery by Oct 17th" date ever since.

For us here in beach communities (Southern California), it's great because we don't want to take our iPhones to the beaches and get sand/water all over it; not to mention leaving it on the beach while we go into the water.

Working out at the gym is also another good reason. It's difficult to have a large iPhone in your pocket while laying flat on a weight bench, etc.
Yeah, I feel that when I use the machines at the gym, my phone gets in the way and doesn't do as good of a job tracking the steps that an Apple Watch would.
 
I used the chat feature on their site to see what's up, apparently all is still set to be delivered on the 5th. I've had good luck ordering other apple products that had accurate delivery times, just wasn't sure how the pre-orders were in comparison.
