Wow. That was crazy. No prep/configs ahead of time and then many models were already showing 2-3 week estimates as soon as the store opened.
Somehow ended up with a Graphite Stainless w. Milanese. It was literally the only watch I could configure that had launch day availability near me.
So you didn’t really care what one you got, just as long as you got it right away?
 
This was me thinking about upgrading my apple watch and then remembering “I’m not rich” lol

I find it interesting that many options can’t even be added to the bag…🤔 example: if you choose an option with a cyprus green solo loop it simply says unavailable…

shouldn’t it just postpone delivery date?

no. Order now and figure out bands later is what I’d do. Maybe you’ll spend twice for bands - oh well.
 
Trying to order a 45mm Starlight with the blue leather link band, and it's saying it's simply not available. Seems to be an issue with the leather band not being available. Anyone else experiencing that?
 
You guys got a notification paying with Apple Card? I got the email from apple
But no notification at wallet app!
I bought one outright and have no charge showing and bought a second on the monthly plan and that has a charge, FWIW.

I’d say that’s right for most preorder people. It’s same electronics. Exception might be for red or other bright colors

it’s like choosing vinyl floor tile - you barely ever notice the color of the floor in commercial office space.
 
I'm not being allowed to add to bag. The option is grayed out. Starlight aluminum sport band and other options I've tried. (EDIT) that was for the bright blue band small size. Others are working. It's dumb that they don't indicate availability of options and let you do all that selection work to be denied.

Keep trying different band options. Some of the bands are just “unavailable” and it won’t let you add to the bag

This!

I noticed that if you choose a Series 6 band, it will not give you the option for delivery, and now no option to add to bag either. You can still order a Series 7 watch with a Series 7 (new) band, just delayed now. Also, you can order a Series 6 band for delivery, which makes all of this weird.

I ended up ordering a titanium S7 w/ a golden brown leather band and then a saddle brown leather band as well, hoping the Apple Store will resolve this after I get everything.
 
I ordered a 45mm midnight/blue and green band for delivery and then changed my mind and ordered a 45 mm starlight/blue solo loop for pickup next week. Now to cancel my first order. 😆
 
Ordered via the app, while I was doing it delivery date slipped to 25th Oct. Why don't they keep the reservation in place when you order? Really annoying
Same thing happened to me. It said October 15th delivery and by the time I double clicked power button and approved purchase with Face ID it now says October 25th. I find apple usually ships before estimated date they give so here's hoping. Either way I am fine with 10 days after release. Could be worse.

Made 4 orders by accident. The website, kept saying order removed and error 500 when checking out. Unfortunately, would have used the app but Military / student discounts are only available through their site.

There might be production issues or delays, so that they don't know when some of them will be available. If that's the case, they'd probably rather not make it available, than have people order and possibly have to extend the delivery time later.
