Apparently the part about blood pressure sensors is true per ifixit teardown. :cool::apple:

That was a pulse ox sensor (monitors the oxygenation of the blood by % using red and infrared light) not a blood pressure sensors/monitor. Cool though, I wonder if they just couldn't get FDA approval or it was just too unreliable b/c arm hair and thicker skin?
 
Tracking number still unavailable on UPS site. But it should be Monday. Guess, I need to work from home on Monday, but excited! Bummed I couldn't get it on the launch day, but oh well!

We'll look at that...I just got my shipment notification too! #

I read a post from someone saying that Apple backed away from adding blood pressure monitoring to the Watch because the FDA would have classified the watch as a "medical device." I know a company that makes heart valves and they have an army of people whose sole job is to generate paperwork to meet the reporting requirements of the FDA, more reports than anyone could possibly read through.
 
Just received shipping notification that the 42mm Space grey with BSB I ordered at xx:04 will be here Monday. Tracking number isn't working yet and no MyChoice notification yet.
 
It's in PA!!! It can almost be mine! I'm in MD so it doesn't have far to go at all. Yay 4/27ers!! I call us wave 1 part 2.

:D

Takes about 1-2 hours to get thru that first facility
 
Just got clarification from both Apple and UPS. There will be NO Saturday deliveries. Mine has been sitting 3 miles from my house since 4:00 this morning which would have given it plenty of time to hop on a truck and make it to me by today but no it will be delivered Monday. Bummed but I will live.
