Mine finally left Concord this evening. Any others with the 5:50am update see their's take off too?

LEFT Concord? Mine is going to North York/Toronto; and it's still in Concord. For me USUALLY, when UPS delivers, Concord is the last depot before being loaded to the delivery truck.

There is a thread with some Saturday delivery rumours. It I haven't seen anything substantial yet. Apple paying for it wouldn't shock me.

I still think it will be Monday.

iPhone 6 had people receiving it on Saturday in the U.S. Not sure about Canada.
 
Ups actually screwed up my delivery here in Vancouver BC. Apple shipped all the watches out to ups at the same time. Ups got them and scanned, sent many out for delivery here in Canada and around my area in Vancouver. For some reason, I saw a day delay on mine last night and researched online, a few other people did too. Turns out ups decided to leave a few boxes behind for a delivery on Monday. Was emailing/tweeting ups all day today and they kept emphasizing to expect a watch on Monday. Considering I pre ordered at 12 02 am on April 10 and got an April 24-may 8 delivery date while others in late may got theirs today.....I wasn't happy. Left the house to go get some coffee and got a call from an "unknown" number. It was apple online store and they said for me to expect a watch tomorrow. Apple went above and beyond to make sure ups delivers the watch to me by tomorrow instead of Monday. Spoke to ups after apple called me ans they said that both apple and ups came to the agreement that for apple watch deliveries, there will be a delivery on Saturday where Saturday deliveries are applicable :)

I assume Vancouver is one of those applicable cities? But all in all I'm pleased with how apple handled things. Fantastic service!!!
 
Finally preparing to ship. 42mm SS BSB!!!! .. Milton, on. 3:06.30 email confirmation.. Excitement is back after losing so much hope
 
Mine is arrived this morning at a UPS customer centre near my location but it is closed saturday and sunday. The delivery date is still for Monday.
 
Will we see tracking updates if we are getting Saturday deliveries?

IF THERE IS, I'm sure we'll see updates. But I'm pretty pessimistic about getting a delivery on a Saturday. If you are part of the "5:50" group, your watch is probably is at Concord, or moving to a final sorting depot before a "out for delivery" truck. Unfortunately, as a few other people have pointed, Concord doesn't operate on Saturdays; thus eliminating the chance (I called too).

So I wouldn't even place even the teensiest bit of hope on having a watch delivered today. But I'm not Apple nor UPS, maybe they have some sort of special arrangement (but I still wouldn't count on it).
 
No-one has posted a Saturday delivery date from Apple - that would be the only way that would happen - they would have had to pay extra for it.

For everyone on the 5:50 shipment, appears there was movement last night. I know our customer centre in Kitchener isn't open on weekends, so my friend's still waiting til Monday. A little maddening that they shipped it there last night for 10:12pm. :(

Good luck to everyone for Monday!

Out of curiosity, do you work for UPS?

Nope. Just have a friend that's been sitting on the edge of his seat waiting for his 42mm SG BSB. :) (he's getting it monday).

Me, I didn't even order yet - the configuration I want isn't available yet (going to the Apple store this morning to try them on). Heh. If I actually prefer the SG over the Space Black, I'll likely be kicking myself for not ordering on 4/10!! :)

Which config do you want?
 
Which config do you want?

42mm Space Black Stainless, but not with the link bracelet. (not paying $600 for a band I don't want). Either with the black sport band or the classic buckle.

I'll know which after I try them on today. :)

Speaking of which - need to warm up the car - got frost last night! :)

Cheers!
 
Has anyone in Canada gotten the 38mm space grey sport shipped?
I ordered my GF's at xx:02:01 and still am processing. Wtf.
 
Did anyone who changed to shipped last night get their tracking numbers working yet? Mine still hasn't gotten it's first scan in so I can't use it.
 
Hey Fellow Canucks-

I'm one of the chosen launch-day few. I honestly, and truly feel for the 5:50er's, the second-shipmenter's, and the June'ers. I know I'm truly lucky not to be one of them, and I know what it's like (I waited 4 weeks for my 6+) so I hope that when I share my first impressions it's excitement, not resentment that you feel.

I got my SG42 Sport delivered in Lethbridge about 11 a.m. MST on Friday. I was in the middle of a ******* workday (graduation day working as a college communications person), so I only had about 10 minutes to strap it on, stash my pebble in the centre console of my car, and start the sync.

-The packaging is insane. Seriously, take your time unboxing. Savour it - it's a trip. There's so many carefully planned pieces to peel back, unfold, take out, and uncover. It's likely the most incredibly complex, thought-out (and wonderful) pieces of tech apple has ever boxed up.

- It's not perfect yet. There's some UI glitches that still need working out. I'm confident that by Watch OS 1.2 everything will be sorted, but it's not perfect yet. The app screen takes some time to register input, there's a lot of missed input touches (especially near the top of the screen for "back" inputs), and there are some small loading glitches throughout. This likely won't concern YOU because if you're reading this, you're a rabid fanboy/girl, but take note.

- Taptic Engine 1.0 needs help. This could just be me, but I've got prominent haptics turned on, and my band cranked up TIGHT and I'm still missing some notifications. It's only been a day, and maybe some apps are just acting up and not sending good taps, or taps at all, but it's been all too likely for me to glance up and see the "red dot of notificationness." I'm coming from a pebble, and you can NOT miss notifications on that thing, so maybe I just need to reset my expectations and readjust my tolerance for wrist-top notifications, but taps are ****ing SUBTLE..

-This thing is ****ing boss. Seriously, it's awesome having something this powerful on your wrist. I've had a ton of stares, a ton of questions, people freaking out. It's obviously part of the early adopter appeal, but as some of you know, it's awesome. People WILL notice. I find it's easiest to walk people through the OS/UI by describing your selected face as "the home screen" - that tends to make sense to people. The people at my knockoff apple store (iWorld) in the mall FLIPPED OUT when I walked in today. It's gonna be a fun ride for a few weeks. Let your friends try your watch on and take a pic.

-Flouroelastomer bands are every bit as awesome as everyone says. - It's like having your wrist gently squeezed by a cloud. I don't even notice the thing. It's so soft, comfortable, and perfect. Seriously- don't regret your sport band purchase. The bands are amazing. Night and day between the first-world ghetto-rubber on my pebble.

-You'll get friendlier with Siri. I'm not a big siri user. I've talked to my phone maybe 15 times. She is AMAZING on the watch. Never missed a word. Not one. It's the default long-form input method and it's goddamn perfect. I've sent a ton of messages, set reminders, asked for info and it's 100% every time. Sociologically, it takes an adjustment, and I still don't think I'll find myself talking to my wrist around other people, but damn, apple nailed this.

-Standout app: Shazam. Seriously. Somehow- Shazam on Watch OS is perfect. Never missed a song, and showed highlighted, real-time lyrics along with whatever was playing (even in a noisy pub setting). The mic on the watch is ****ing witchcraft.

-Glances are where it's at. Navigating to apps takes to long. Apps with good glances rise to the top quickly and easily. I've found myself pulling apps off my glances with savage judgement. I'm stingy about what gets a glance- only the best of the best gets a spot in my glance set. I think you'll do the same.

- Battery life is a non-issue. I'm writing this as a moderate-notification person at 11PM and I have 43% left. it's a NON-ISSUE. I charge my phone every night, I don't have a problem charging my watch every night.

-There's a lot of rushed-to-market apps. Sooooooo many developers "me-tooed" into a useless watch app. You'll select watch apps and glances you actually use based on how good they are.

I think that's all I have for now. I hope Monday comes soon for all you 5:50er's. Happy to answer any questions you have.

-Rod
