I would assume this is the 42mm?? Did it feel big/small?? Any details to go with the picture?

Hey, at least there's a line at the Sydney Samsung store. Security dudes and all.

lol. Sunglasses? Really? What are they, the Samsung secret service? They're probably scaring customers away.
42. Check out his Twitter account. He's given lots of impressions on the Watch. And let's just say they're the complete opposite of Nilay Patel's.![]()
How sad life would be if we could no longer cheer for anything less than a moon landing.

Don't you think this might have something to do with the fact that us kiwis don't have a single Apple Store? Where would they sell it?
So no1 gave the stainless steel black a try?

And how sad that we cheer for a watch.
One more reason to add Nilay Patel to my blacklist. I do like Verge but some of their employees really need to hide their personal vendetta against Apple well. It's one thing to write an honest opinion, it's another to write misinformation on purpose. I wonder how much Samsung pay him?
Reviews from an average customer is much more appreciated these days.
Link? I'm a little slow.
I'm assuming that's the stainless steel version?
Thanks for the initial updates/thoughts from those who have tried - really useful.
The various comments about the length (or lack of) queues are missing the main objective I think. I'd guess the real point of Ahrendts' statement about removing lines are for PR purposes. The big media stories during the iPhone 6 launch were that 8 out of 10 people were placed there to bulk buy for onward sale to places such as China. Others were there wearing sponsored t-shirts to market non Apple stuff.
Bad PR all round for Apple when the world sees aged and confused non English speaking people being asked by the media why they were there rather than the previous waves of excited early adopters. Same with people trying to jump in front of the camera to talk about an unrelated Kick-Starter project.
With the online order process and limits of 1 or 2 watches per customer, the above issues are largely eliminated. End result likely that majority of people who may end up in-line on Day-1 (if any), will be there to pick up their pre-orders - ie real customers who, if shown on tv/in the media, will better reflect the image Apple wants to portray.
Very good experience to try on the watch this morning, I would highly recommend a try on as the size of the watch is a lot smaller than the website seems to show. Also nice to experience it on the wrist.
That's what i've been saying all morning. They are so much smaller than everyone thinks.
Well Ben Bajarin is clearly in the Apple camp.But Nilay Patel is in no way objective. Glad to hear he got schooled on CNBC this morning.
Do you happen have any links for that? I think I am going to enjoy that one![]()
Why? Illogical statement is illogical.
Anyway back on topic, I'll be interested to see how hard the servers get hammered tonight. That should be an interesting indication of how much demand there is.
Lines look awfully short.
Have you actually seen a "man" in skinny jeans? Enough said.
Up until a couple of years ago it would've been Magnum Mac, but they lost the license to sell products here and thus all closed down. Cyclone have picked up the contract but they have even less stores than MM did!
Be interesting if the Watch is allowed to be sold at normal retailers like Noel Leeming, etc.
Because people would then start asking questions. The try on experience is just that - to try on the watches and see which one you like best. Imagine trying on the actual watch then spending an hour with a specialist asking questions when there are other people in a queue waiting to try it on - not the best experience.Odd. Does anyone know why they not allowing people to really use the try-on watches?
