Don't have one "yet", but I have also yet to see one in the wild. Anybody else not see one?

i was walking down the street the other day, and the guy walking towards me had a milanese loop SS 42mm on, and had his face buried in it as he fiddled with it (while walking). I thought to myself 'is this how i look when I walk on the street and fiddle with my watch?'. didn't like the look.

I try to limit my fiddling now to under 5 seconds when I'm on the street, and if its more I'll stand off to the side.
 
I went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey (in 70mm!!) at the Arclight in Hollywood a couple weeks ago and saw a woman wearing a white sports model. That's the only one I've seen.
 
I hadn't seen any until this past Wednesday. I was in a meeting with about 12 people and saw 3 AWs. 2 42mm SGS and one 42mm SS Milanese.
 
I saw two. One while getting my hair cut. The guy had a stainless steel with classic buckle. And I saw a lady with one at the airport. It was a space grey.
 
Weekly I meet with a few friends at one of Los Angeles largest Starbucks in a wealthy part of the city. Not once have we spotted an Apple watch other than the ones we owned and returned.

Certainly they're out their somewhere, I'm sure if Apple sells enough at some point they'll be visible. However given the distinct lack of buzz out in public it may take a few years before they become noticeable amongst the masses.
 
Ive seen 13 so far in NYC, mostly in Central Park. About half were sports and half SS.

I saw a random woman wearing one at a wedding I went to just after launch.

But there are die hards on this forum who haven't even received their orders yet. I think we'll see more in time and once they are sold in store.
 
I noticed one Apple Watch in the wild locally (excluding those being worn by the Apple Store employees here).
 
I live in a small, rural western town and would not expect to see another Apple watch, but I know there's at least one because the clerk at the grocery store said I was the second person she'd seen pay with a watch. That was over a week ago, and a lot more watches have been shipped since then so who knows. Probably more around now but I'm not really looking for them.
 
Here in NYC I've seen at least 10 out and about, most of them with white bands oddly enough. In the city, anything white gets mighty dingy might fast.
 
In Portland I've seen a SS with a leather loop at a restaurant the other day and a woman with the SG sport at a lawyer event. A friend has the SS with the classic buckle which looks pretty amazing, sort of wish I had gone with that combo. Just a bit too pricey for me right now.
 
The one on my wrist is the only one I've seen in the wild since I received mine on launch day. And I look for it too, just never see one. Even my son asked me why no one else has one. It's kind of cool to be the only one for now.
 
Nope, I still haven't. I've seen a couple of people with 360s, though.
 
Was eating breakfast a couple days ago near Vanderbilt University's campus and saw a guy with a SS and milanese. Not sure the size as he was far off. That's the only one other than my friends that I've seen.
 
I haven't seen one yet in Miami but my wife says she saw a SG with a pink SB yesterday at Fresh Market. Man I can't wait to get my watch!!!
 
Not a single sighting yet.

A few colleagues at work have noticed it and asked me excitedly "is that the iWatch?" :mad: haha

When they do notice it they always ask me what it can do. Kinda annoying really as I never know how to demo it properly...
