Nice mate, can confirm that looks like the Commbank site. Hoping I get charged soon. What's ur status?
This maybe a silly question. But are you further west and with that in a different time zone to the person who had been charged?
Not aimed at you, but that doesn't make sense.
Why on earth would an Applecare + policy commence before the device is even in the customer's hands?
It's a 2 year policy that we're buying and it runs for 2 years from when we get our watches/devices.
Neither have mine.
ONLY JOKING. I have no friends because I spend too much time on MacRumours.
Everyone but you, as I would like to see a video of you going into a store to pinch a demo model
Would seem more reasonable to assume a lunch event (without stock) or additional support made available in store for customers getting there orders regards Regent St London.
I did a Google search of special store openings for the 24th and a few come up. None in my area though (yet). =[
Wonder what this is all about!
That is why I hate dealing with Apple Store staff at times, you get different answers depending on who you talk to. Everyone in Australia was adamant that I had to get the policy in the UK. Cheers for this
As a side fact the demo models have no innards and are powered by a cut down iPad Air in a case recycled from the old plastic iMac. That's why they have a slight lag.

In fairness, the UK store initially said it would be £249 to swap for a replacement unit.
Applecare + wasn't available in the UK at the time, but I showed him my documents and he went away and came back with a brand spanking new (yes, in a white/retail) box.
What made it even sweeter, was that they didn't have a facility to charge me the excess (deductible in the US) and the guy just said "Don't worry about it, we can't process AC+ as it's not on our systems yet, but we'll take care of the paperwork somehow".
Just being a smart ass but wasn't targeting anyone specifically. Just think it seems kinda funny that some people are getting so excited to see their cable orders move to preparing for shipment. This seems to make some believe that this is a big sign we will all get our watches on Friday when the cables are just going to ship as quoted and have nothing to do with the Watch production.
Must be the old plastic iMac that is causing it
That's what I said to the store employee lol. She was very quick to point out that the watch doesn't lag the same way so I reckon they'd had a few folks mention it and the comment popped up in a few periscope reviews I watched. I had my try on a few days after launch so they were a bit more 'on it' by that point.
nothing on my NAB debit card but i would expect now that they are starting to flow to hopefully charge me overnight

Look for my mug shot in the news!
Some of the apple stores that are showing "special store hours" for the 24th are saying the same times as normal hours. Some do say an hour earlier though. I'm very confused!
Both my auth payments for the iwatch and charging cable dropped off a few days ago.
