Do we think Apple will have a similar experience set up for the Apple Watch Ultra on launch day as it does for iPhones. Missed out on Preorder for launch day.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch Ultra Friday Availability

Right, pickup Friday, but when do we think we will be able to place those orders for Friday pickup?
Usually it’s about 1 hour before the opening of the Apple stores on launch day
Usually somewhere around 8AM EST (on the launch day) for in-store pickup orders in the U.S. I don't think this varies for the time zone of your store's opening, because the Hawaii in-store pickup orders opened at ~2AM HST this year.
I'm almost positive they will. I have never seen a launch where they don't have products at the store to purchase on the day of a release. I'm going to go Friday to hopefully pick up a few bands.
Probably. The real question is if they'll have them at any Apple Store(s) near you. That remains to be seen. I don't know if it'll hurt to call your local store(s) today and/or tomorrow to see if they'll provide you with any info on their expected inventory. I've had mixed results calling in the past looking for iPhones on launch day.
BTW Stock changed at 6 am German time. But no need to be fast currently 8 am and everything still in stock except the trail band (was never an option)
It seems more likely that they won't to me. When you look at the Apple Watch Ultras with the Alpine Loop or Ocean Band, it says 'Check availability starting 9/23.' For the Trail Loop it just says 'Apple Store Pickup is currently unavailable.' That indicates to me that there won't be any Trail Loops available for order on launch day - we'll see, though.
like I said there was never an option in germany for the trail loop.
Yup, saw that after I wrote my reply. Thanks for pointing that out.
ADDED: Sorry - repeated what another member just posted. Wish we could delete posts.
For what it's worth - Still several hours before the assumed time in the US, but for the Trail loop, site indicates "Apple Store Pickup is currently unavailable" but for both the Alpine loop and the Ocean band, the site indicates "Check availability starting 9/23". To me that suggests the Trail loop won't be available in stores on launch day, but I hope I'm wrong.

Hey, at least we're all on the same page! 🤣 I can delete posts, I wonder how I got that ability.
Doesn’t look like Apple Watch has the typical 8 AM store opening like iPhones do
