I think it's strange how they charge you for AppleCare before the ship your watch.
One thing I did notice. If you watch the ifixit.com teardown of the two different models, there is a large difference between the sport and regular SS version.
The crown rotation area and surrounding parts are much beefier in the SS model. Don't know why exactly, but they are of better 'quality'.
Anyone else notice that?

Because they know they can get away with saying, they have supplied the product that you paid for....lol
Very sneaky
It's more expensive? Glad they put better parts in a better model. Makes....sense.
Where did you find the SS version tear down I could only find the sports version
I do understand that, obviously. Just otherwise then the cases, they were all 'sold', at least the way I saw it, as the same watch.
anyone's composite back scratched?
Also, it seems the "Activate on wrist raise" bug is also tied to "Cover to mute."
If I do the cover to mute gesture on an app, then raise my wrist, it goes back to my clock face... However this also means cover to mute doesn't work outside of notifications...

hmmmm I just looked over the ifixit breakdown, and could swear I saw that statement. I will keep looking. Maybe I misunderstood.
They didn't fully teardown the SS. They just popped the screen off. It's included in the Sport teardown
Ok found it.

Step 9 is the sport crown.
Step 28 is the regular watch version.
it is NOT a complete breakdown of the 'watch' version...but more then enough to see the LARGE crown difference.

and the comments are:
"It looks like not too much has changed. The mounting bracket for the Digital Crown looks significantly more substantial, and the bottom features gold tri wing screws."

Watch SS model not edition its an
Yeah Yeah YEah....just a $10k+ difference. No biggie!
That's fair enough .... But as has been said many times .... The timing of orders is not as simple as the time you were emailed there .... And the stock levels may differ from region to region .... Which is possibly why Apple gave a 2 week delivery span
and for all of those that didn't get their watch yet or are stuck in processing hell....a video of someone destroying their watch

Shoot me. My Deliveries app went off, thinking my status had changed. Nope, it was something else unrelated I ordered several days ago and had forgotten about.
Had another moment like that this morning with a notification from my credit card app. It as reminding me that my payment is due on the 5th.

Still Processing
Is there a lot still stuck in processing
Apple told me they were sure they would have the orders processed in the time frame 4/24-5/8 as stated in my notification

Quality has nothing to do with it. The steel crown weighs more than aluminum.
Same here - moved to "preparing for shipment" and CC charged! Hopefully should ship sometime tonight or tomorrow for Monday delivery.
Im still stuck in processing for my 42 MM SS Milanese and i was in the first delivery window. So frustrated. I just want my watch or at least know a more accurate timeframe in which to expect it.
