Best Buy or Apple quicker?

[hashholly]

Hi All,

Im looking to get a Black Stainless Steel 42mm Apple Watch and trying to figure out where i should place my order for quickest pickup/delivery.

Both Best Buy and Apple have estimated ship dates of 3-4 weeks, a bit longer for store pickup.

For people that have placed their orders with extended ship/pickup dates...did Apple or Best Buy get it to you quicker than their estimation? Did you choose store pickup or delivery?

I personally prefer to just buy things from Apple directly, so I can go into the Apple store and get it sorted.

Apple, from my past experiences, has always delivered ahead of time. They typically predict a later ship date, but deliver sooner than most third party stores.

I have been more successful with Best Buy when it comes to the AW2.

Order from both. Then, cancel which ever one ships last. Simple.

When you placed your order, did it give you a 3-4 week delivery estimate or did it actually show it was available for 2-day delivery when you placed the order?

Looking for info from people who ordered with a 3-4 week delivery estimate.

BB was also much quicker for me. Took less then a week from ordering and picking up in-store. I tried Apple directly and said 3-4 weeks and after 1+ weeks I canceled the order since BB send me an email that my AW2 is ready for pick up.

AW2, Sport, Space Grey
