Best strategy for getting a watch tomorrow?

[Legion103]

Hi guys!

For those who weren’t able to pre-order last week, what’s the best strategy in trying to get one on launch day tomorrow?

(Besides camping out)

Would love to hear all suggestions !

See if your local apple store will have it, or Best Buy.

Good luck,

Take cash and offer to buy one off people as they leave the store.

I have a pickup appointment for the first time slot in the morning for my iPhone XS. Will I be able to get faster into the store and therefore have a higher chance of purchasing the watch?

No. The pre-order queue is different than walk-ins for products REGARDLESS of if you have a pre-order pickup. Now, you might find a new specialist who makes a major mistake, but typically speaking you should not be able to grab a watch as a walkin at the same time you are picking up your pre-order device.

That said, I am trying the same thing.

Get a Delorean, and buy one on preorder day 😉

My wife and I got S4 - Aluminum (both 40mm and 44mm) this morning. We were about 20 back in line. A lot of models sold out though...

I got to my local store at 7:10, was 25 in line. Got both my Xs (pre-order) and S4, stainless steel space black by 8:20AM. Oh and got breakfast from them too. Thanks Apple!
