I went to the barber shop and the barber had a stainless steel Watch with a Classic Buckle. I also saw a lady at the airport with a Space Gray Watch.
 
Saw a guy last week in Subway with the 42mm SS with a 3rd party bracelet on. It looked too big for the 42mm to me...
 
I live in London and have still seen zero Apple watches. A colleague had one and didn't seem too impressed with it. And the general reaction from people around the table was less "Oooh, an Apple Watch!" and more "Why on Earth did you buy one of them?"

I think these watches are harder to see than you think. Both of the ones I saw this weekend, I almost missed. If the person is wearing long sleeves, the watch is covered, and you don't see it unless they stretch their arm right when you are looking at it.

I've seen plenty of watches. And a large number of Android watches. I've even seen a couple of Moto 360 watches in the last week alone. But no Apple Watches.

Off topic but did you get your 4th achievement star?
 
Spent last week at Disney World.

Saw 5 Apple watches total. 2 of the 5 belonged to my wife and I.

The other three were a 42 SS BSB, a 42 Sport with pink band, and a 38 SG Sport with a black band.

And I looked at wrists as much as possible in hopes I would see more.

Almost all of the celebrities who were given a free watch have never been seen wearing them again. However, i could not help but notice that Pharall Williams was wearing his during his performance at Glastonbury yesterday. I think Apple got some good Publicity because it was all over the TV.
 
I saw a couple on the subway when I was in Hong Kong last weekend to pick up my own AW. Both were WSB and I think they were both Sport models as well. Most of the staff at the Apple Store had AWs as well, ranging from Sport models to an SS with Milanese.
 
I saw a random mom-ish looking lady with a 38mm SS. She did not look tech savy at all. I was baffled to say the least.
 
I saw a family, Mum, Dad & Son all rocking sports yesterday. first time in the wild other than Apple employee's or my colleague who bought my sport off of me.
 
I work in a petrol station in Derbyshire and have seen around four to five customers with the AW now.

They were the Sport Edition (three Space Grey, one White and one Pink.)
 
A young couple sitting next to me in a restaurant had matching Sport editions with blue bands. We all agreed we love our Apple watches.
 
Still haven't seen one other than mine in the wild - except for the Apple store staff, however the other day I was designing a wedding album & noticed that the Grooms mum was wearing one (AWS - White band) & that wedding was on 15th May (launch day I think), but I didn't notice it at the time!
 
A guy at work has a white sport. In the last week I've seen a woman on the bus who has alternated between a green sport band and modern pink buckle on different days. I also saw a guy on the sidewalk wearing a white sport -- and I think I saw a man at the bus stop wearing a SS with a modern brown buckle, but I'm not certain.

Several of the staff in the Apple store have them. Funny, I never really paid attention to what kind of watches people wear before, but suddenly I find I'm noticing them all the time :)
 
I work at a restaurant in Encino, which has a lot of business exec's/former celebrities who live around here. I constantly see tons of middle aged women and family men with Sport's, I saw a couple a week ago with both SS, she had the Modern Buckle, and he had a Classic Buckle. A few of them have kids with 38mm Sports too. One kid I saw yesterday was about 8-10 years old. The most interesting one for me though, was running into my first Edition in the wild. A man parked in front with his Audi R8, and when he came to pick up his food, I wanted to help him (as I was going to compliment his car), as he signed the receipt, I noticed he had the regular gold Edition, with the black classic buckle. It definitely wasn't some plated one, he clearly has the money for the real one. Didn't want to be intrusive though, so didn't ask. But didn't expect to stumble upon them so easily. I also actually ran into a guy at work with the same one as me! (42mm Space Black with Link Bracelet).
 
just saw one at a co-worker at the office. he ordered the 38 mm space gray. he got it on day 1 but the size compared to the wrist looked like a toy and he should have gotten the 42 mm in my point of view.

other than that I only saw Apple employees having a watch.
