I have been watching stock around me but none in stock at a store I can get to reasonable
Seriously; I do not understand how people who order on the first possible day and from Apple (no middle man (ie Verizon, Best Buy, etc) and who controls the delivery of the stock) are not receiving their products first. If I waited a week to order, I get it and understand I snoozed and I need to wait or play the instock game at various sources.
I don’t either when did you order? It’s almost enough to make a person go mad!! My card has been billed so mine is on its way soon.. best of luck to you..
Agreed. In the same boat. I ordered on 9/15 @ 10:14 am. Order the SS Black 42mm. I’m sitting at order in progress with no charge pending to my bank. Delivery window of 10/13-10/20.
Thanks, the band is amazingly comfortable, so I'm pretty happy.
It's this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073BHG329/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Hopefully it will be soon... I’m not a patient person so it has been driving me nuts..
Did you get the activation error? I got that too and tried to activate again. Second time worked fine for me.
Yes After I verify my account I get error 409 which says my account does not allow a secondary plan but I alread have a digits line open.
They don’t know what to do smh. Gotta wait a couple days on the ticket to be answered.
Oh geez that’s terrible. Sorry that’s happening. So what watch did you end up getting. And how far did you drive for it?
***update*** picked up my watch, activated smoothly. opted out of setting up the (Sprint) LTE for now. it’s a lot heavier and bigger than i expected. thinking the 38 would’ve been perfect for me. but it’s magical!! definitely worth the wait. and for those who’s still waiting call your local Apple stores. this was totally unexpected and last minute.
Stainless Steel Silver and was on my way out of town to get it but then saw it pop up at my local store called had my wife order it then turned around and went to my store and cancelled the other order. I only ended up driving total a little over a hour or ao.
Same day as you 9/15/17 1:29pm - 42MM Space Gray Aluminum Black Sport Band GPS+cellular. Has said "Order in progress" every since with delivery as 13 Oct 2017-20 Oct 2017, by standard shipping.
yes, it just popped up on the site and i quickly put in a new order for pick up and canceled my previous order. i was in and out of the store in less than 15 mins. it was packed as usual.
If you are with Tmobile and have a activation issue either go in store call customer care or use twitter with Tmobile and give them these instructions. You know what’s sad I had to provid THEM the instructions once I did it was done in 5-10 minutes. After you activate it go on your Tmobile account and pair your digits line to your mobile line and your done.
they recently published the steps required to activate the watch on their internal forum (knowledge base) and without hassle, they were able to activate my watch.
Here are the steps:
* Activate new Digits line
* Instead of Sim number, enter EID number of the watch
* Choose BYOD (buy your own device option when asked in their tool which i believe is called quickview).
* Once activated, go to your watch, setup cellular and it will go straight to the page which says congratulations, your apple watch is activated.

Thanks for the heads up. Just picked up my watch from the Apple Store. Going to cancel my T-Mobile preorder.
This will come in handy if I have issues setting up.
